| - This was only my second experience with Indian food, so let me just say up front I am obviously NOT an expert on this cuisine and don't have much to compare it to. All I have is my palette!
With that said, as far as positives go - the restaurant is located in the Scottsdale Mall, nice area and right next to the Scottsdale Performing Arts Center. The inside is nice too. I ordered the Chicken Masala (kept it basic and simple). I thought it was flavorful, I liked it! It's served with a side of rice. They serve this cracker bread type thing (sorry, don't know what it's called) for the table when you sit down, along with these 2 sauces to dip it in. Both were delicious, full of flavor. They had a spicy and sweet quality to them. I also ordered one of their special cocktails, can't remember the whole name - Madarajah something.... it had bourbon, ginger and lemon. Was very good!
Now for the negatives....we went on a Friday night, the place was almost full and there were 3, THREE servers working the entire restaurant, INCLUDING the bar. So basically the "bartender" was a server who was leaving the bar unattended to take tables in the dining room. (while my friend and I sat, unacknowledged, for 15-20 minutes till we finally went back to our table and had our server just get the drinks for us). I was pretty surprised that on a Friday night there were only 3 people. Now, they were definitely hustling and running around and working very hard (we were a large party) but in my opinion that is just completely ridiculous to be that understaffed. It creates a tense environment and you feel like you are overwhelming them if you ask for anything. Granted, our server was very nice and clearly was running his ass off! The food really didn't take long considering all this, I was pretty shocked. I am not saying I wouldn't go back, but I would not go back on a weekend when it's chaotic like that. Also, and maybe this is because I have worked in the food service/restaurant industry, but when the food runner came with our food, they were "auctioning off" the food. This is a peeve of mine, I find it completely tacky and unprofessional. Not to mention the guy doing it must NOT have understood English because he gave me the wrong dish twice before giving me my order. LOL. Again, it's not enough to keep me from returning, but I think they need to stop doing that!
