| - Sketchy, slow service, decent food, exceptionally high prices. I wouldn't go back.
We waited 20 min after being seated for a reserved table to finally see our waiter (only after the hostess asked if we needed anything-like, uh, food?) The service was incredibly slow.
Booked online for the "retox detox" tasting menu - 15 courses for $39pp. Well, no one had ever heard of it. Hostess told us that was for winterlicious. And then I showed her their website, so she said it hasn't started yet (the website said it had started on Feb. 15, 2017.) She sent the waiter over, finally. He then coerced us into the 5 course tasting menu which was only $8 more (turns out that one's $60pp). Highway robbery!
We had some tasty eggplant fries, some sort of buffalo cauliflower, 1 burnt-black shrimp each, 1 lamb chop each, 1 chicken nugget-sized piece of tandoori chicken each and finally a huge plate of curries and rice. The food was all good (except for the shrimp), no doubt.
So I guess the real issue is we went for a meal which seemed to good too be true - and was.
