First: Please do not confuse this place with ""India's Oven"" I made that mistake and had unbelievably horrible experience. Go to India's Oven on Wilshire. The food and service are better.
Here are the highlights:
1. Server told my friend the cost for substitutions on their ""dinners"" was $2.50. It was $1.50 in the menu. But we let it go.
2. We waited 40 mins for food (but there was one server in the whole place so we were going to let it go)
3. Server did not make the substitution and got a little nasty when my friend insisted she wanted Saag Paneer even if she had to wait.
4. Server brought out full Saag Paneer and told us we got a full order. My friend asked if we'd be charged for the full order and we were told ""yes"" so my friend protested. We were told we would be charged half price bc she didn't know if my friend ate any of the dal being substituted. We protested. She said ""FINE! Don't pay for it!"" and stormed off.
I thought that would be the highlight of the evening! WRONG!
5. My friend cuts into her chicken and it is pink in the middle and tough to cut. IT IS RAW!! We couldn't believe it! We call the server over to tell her and she yells ""WHY ARE YOU CAUSING US PROBLEMS!"" My friend calmly started explaining she wasnt causing problems, her chicken was uncooked. The server stormed away. She refused to come back to the table.
6. I attempted to get the attention of someone in the back and the chef came out. He refused to look at the food. Yelled that there was no way it was uncooked. He told us to leave with out paying and ""Write two reviews each of you so I can find you!"" That was his direct quote!
This is my first review. I will likely follow his instructions and post another somewhere else.
This was incredible! It just happened and I still kind of can't believe it. I also can't believe how many people sat in the restaurant and watched the whole thing. CRAZY!!
I'm new to LA and I certainly hope all of my dining experiences aren't as action packed. The worst part was the food was pretty good :-(
