| - I ate here once a few weeks back with a Groupon that was about to expire. I went with my mom and husband and we got there just as the restaurant was opening for dinner service. I wasn't aware that they closed between lunch and dinner so when we showed up right before 5 it was a little awkward. I almost thought it had closed down because it looked that way from the outside. They have a decent sized patio in the front that is not utilized. The place would look so much more welcoming if something was done with the front of the building. So we get in and are seated. Not long after three more parties show up and are seated while we were dining. The service was fast and friendly as our waiter quickly came over to take drink and food orders. I asked some questions about what was vegan on the menu and the waiter pointed out a few items and we picked out two, and my mom got a lamb dish.
The two dishes we ordered were the Masala Aloo Gobi, which is a potato and cauliflower curry, and Chana Masala, which was a chickpea with curry spices. My mom and husband also ordered some bread for the table, which I didn't eat because it contained dairy. The food was ok. I was surprised by both how simple they were and the portion sizes considering our entrees were ten dollars each. I felt like I could have made this at home for no more than a few dollars of ingredients. I was also expecting some heat in the dishes, but there was none. There was a nice curry flavor but I didn't feel like the dishes lived up to the name of the restaurant. My mom liked her lamb dish but also said that she has had better elsewhere. The final bill for three entrees, the bread, and my husband ordered a mango drink was a couple dollars short of $50, which seemed crazy to me considering how little food is actually given.
After some thought, I most likely wont be returning here. It's not that the food was terrible or the service was bad, everyone was actually really friendly, I just don't feel like we got a good deal, and I feel that I could make curry just as well or better than here on my own and for a lot less money.
