| - Although the "fusion" concept is quite refreshing, KJ's failed to deliver on a Friday night. Mea culpa for ordering the Cajun Quesadilla at a Sri Lankan restaurant, but I thought exploring the "fusion" part of their menu. No matter what, a 'Quesadilla' should always come with cheese and sour cream. Mine came with almost no cheese and an overdose of Old Bay (to pass it off as Cajun), and a curious lump of rice (the 'fusion' part I guess). The chicken was stringy and dry, and almost seemed like ghosts of dishes past. However, they do get their Sri Lankan plates right. The chicken curry was fantastic but there was very little sauce served. When requested for some extra sauce, we were politely informed that it would not be possible since "everything was made to order". We ordered the speciality dessert (a cardamom-heavy flan-ish) which came out looking like a shapeless slime blob, with a nauseating amount of cardamom seeds (ground cardamon powder anyone?). For $4.95, you would expect better presentation and attention.
We were informed that it was the server's first day at the job (rather curious as to how frequently I am served by first-day-at-the-job servers), but that was no excuse for her apathy. You know the service is bad when you are the only diners at the restaurant, and still have to walk to the Maitre D, requesting for the overpriced dessert, to-go boxes and the cheque.
I would still be inclined to give them a second chance only because of the novel Sri Lankan menu items and only till I find my next Sri Lankan food fix.
