| - So I've been there a couple of times now. The second time I was invited because I don't think I would ever return willingly.
The place is confusing as hell, it's supposed to be an Indian restaurant but there is nothing in the restaurant about it that's Indian until you smell the food.
I get it, they are trying to reflect India in its new modern era but the dilution of the culture in the decor really moved me away from "feeling like Indian food". By the time I got the menu I was in the mood for a veal sandwich, not Indian food. Its like ordering a burger from a Chinese restaurant.
Welcome drink of mango lassi is a nice touch but best kept to the end of the meal, but then having a server pour it in front of you from a reused plastic jug which was probably a juice jug 100 washes ago was not appealing, that needs to stay in the back kitchen.
Finally when we got the menus, it was a big debate. I really couldn't decide what to get, the "bowl" concept still confuses me. Their mains were all called bowls and some bowls where Pittas, some were salads and some were curries. So they were not actually bowls, which actually tricked me thinking a bowl would be a healthier alternative to a regular curry dish.
The food is actually not bad once you get it, but normally follows with regret and loathing since after you get it, you realize all you got was Indian food you can get elsewhere for half the price and time ...
