| - I've been to Chef of India may times in the past. This restaurant is located above a salon and it's in a great location.
Upon walking in, you're greeted by a kind worker who seats you in the dimmed-lighted, nicely decorated restaurant. The restaurant has soft Indian instrumental music playing, and deep colors that put you to ease. It's pretty clean and spacious too, but there aren't a lot of people there most of the time.
While looking through the menu, you're given complimentary papadums to snack on. The menu consists of appetizers, soups, and Indian meat, vegetarian and seafood delicacies. They also have many rice and bread options, chutney's, desserts and drinks such as lassi and mango juice.
The food has generally been good. Once in a while you feel like you're eating re-heated food. The naan bread is a hit and miss- sometimes it's great, and other times it's too flaky and hard. The portions are good but can be better, and it's a little pricey. Also, The dessert menu consists of ras-malai (sweet cheese balls drowned in sugared cream), gulab jamun (fried milk balls in sugar syrup), kulfi (Indian ice-cream), masala tea (spiced Indian tea with milk) and more. The dessert portions are tiny and overpriced, but they're delicious!
I love masala tea; I live on it! The masala tea here is good but once again, the amount you get can be better. This tea is made and put in a small tea-pot for you, and comes with a small cup. However, there have been times where my husband and I have ordered the tea, and they gave us that little pot that is for one person and tell us to share it. That would be fine if they didn't charge us for two teas! The tea is expensive too- $3.50 each for such a small amount.
Furthermore, the service here is good, but it comes to the point of feeling awkward and uncomfortable. The servers are constantly watching you, refilling your water after each sip, did I mention watching you? My friends and I always walk out saying "did you see that? They were staring at us the whole time!" Once, the waiter even walked all the way across the restaurant and fixed my napkin on my lap without saying a word...awkward!
Overall, this is an okay restaurant. I rather eat somewhere else that offers reasonably priced food, larger potions and without feeling awkward. Now, I just walk 4 min east of this restaurant to another Indian restaurant called Banjara- my ultimate favourite Indian place! It's hard to recommend Chef of India since there is a better Indian restaurant only 4 minutes away.
