| - AVOID THIS PLACE!!!!!
I've been here twice in the past week and maybe once before that, about a year ago... they have dosas. I LOVE dosas. And maybe just the fact that they have dosas made me delusional.
I came here earlier in the week and ordered the spicy masala dosa. It came out in all it's golden brown crepe-like goodness, served with mint (?) chutney and lentil soup. I tore into it and boy was it good. I was eating bits of the crepe and dipping it in both the chutney and the soup. It had a bit of a kick to it! Then I realized that I wasn't getting any "masala" part. I opened it and there was maybe two tablespoons worth of filling. Red flags should've been going up, but I just kept eating and dipping. I was satisfied. I figured that since there was so little filling, I was keeping my calorie count down for the day! Bonus for me!!! It cost about $9 for the dosa.
I returned two nights later to pick up some takeout for dinner. I ordered the chicken tikka masala with rice AND naan. During the day, they have a hot bar/buffet going on which runs from 11 - 2:30. (When I went in earlier in the week -- I came in at noon and the buffet STILL wasn't ready -- by the time I left at 12:30 -- it still wasn't there so who knows when it starts) I came in around 4pm.... the hot bar/buffet hadn't been cleaned up and there were bins with the dredges (hardened and dried and OLD food that are left at the bottom). I kind of look grossed out by what was left and the man (cook? waiter?) assured me there was food in the back. After I ordered, he went into the kitchen and came back out with a plastic container of rice (which looked as if it was microwaved -- there were bubbles of moisture on the inside of the plastic... if it was fresh, there would've just been cloudy steam.... these were water droplets already!!) and some naan wrapped in foil. Then he took a takeout box and went to the hot bar and stirred up one of the containers (it was red and there was an oily lake of grease lying on top of it) and started to spoon it into a container. I was in shock that I couldn't speak. He remembered that I also ordered a mango lassi --- he went over to the sliding door fridge and pulled out a pre-made lassi that for all I knew, had been made yesterday! Anyway, it was $10 and all I could think was, "This can't be good, this can't be good." Picked up my son from school, went home and we sat down at the table. I unwrapped the naan and there was a huge hole in the middle (it wasn't a rip... it was a HOLE as if somebody had eaten it from the middle!! Plus it was hard as a rock) and as I put the first bite of tikka masala in my mouth, I pulled out stems from some unknown herb..... needless to say, I couldn't/didn't even want to feed it to my son. I wound up throwing everything down the garbage disposal and warmed up last night's leftovers of rice, shake&bake chicken and heated up some corn. Nasty --- will NEVER EVER go back .... and even if ChampaignTaste gave it a good review.
