| - La Nouvelle lune Indienne seemed to be pretty a-ok all around. The ambiance is pretty chill, dimly-lit, and worked well for a casual dinner. The service was in turn epically slow and then surprisingly fast: I think it tool some 45 minutes for the waiter to muster the courage to approach our large group, but once things were ordered, dishes found their way to our table in no time!
The butter chicken received rave reviews, but half the group was heartbroken that they had neither eggplant or fish that night. I ordered the vegetarian combo (Thali) which included, well, everything really. My entree was a single papadom with sauces, followed by a huge tray with four mini meals. I remember a zucchini thing that was delicious. The chickpeas were fairly spicy and super filling. I also had a small tower of nan bread at my disposal. Oh and a dessert (a sweet puree ball, delicious!). This was an enormous amount of food, even for me. And all for $23, brilliant!
Also of note, their full page of nan-bread selection.
I'm not the best critic of Indian food, but a Pakistani friend approved whole-heartedly of his shrimp dish, so there you have it!
