| - Was in the area on Weds night and read great things about this place, mostly from the other Yelp reviews. I was surely disappointed. While the taste of the food is satisfactory, the portion sizes and service were not. Restaurant was empty when we walked in around 7:00PM. There were some people watching TV and did not greet/seat us for a few minutes until we asked if they were working there. That's when they figured we were actually dining there. Instead of patiently going through their "specials" with us, they decided to make our lives easier by volun-telling us to order a chicken and beef dish since it was our first time. I inquired about the curry fish but the owner was so adamant about the beef that I just went with it (at this point I just wanted to get it over with). When the food came, portion sizes were SMALL. Lots of rice, no veges, couple pieces of meat, contrary to the previous reviews about "generous size" portions. My dish wasn't worth the $9.99. If this was a proper "special", it should have been $4.99 at best. My partner's dish was easier to swallow at $6.00, but again her chicken biryani was small as heck. I came in here expecting to be satisfied, at least portion-wise, even if the food sucked, but I came out still half-hungry, not satisfied, and looking for the closest McDonalds. I usually get this feeling when I go to a high-end sushi bar or European restaurant, but in this case we're talking about a low-end, seemingly inexpensive Indian hole in the wall. Sigh.
