Nice family restaurant, no loud music 11/29/2007

I have travelled in India and cooked Indian food myself for 30 years. We ate on a Wednesday night, ordered full dinners, all four different. The lamb was tasty but tough. Chicken Tikka was the best dish of the meat items--very tender and flavorful. Chicken korma had a terrible flavor, really wasn't nice...no one liked it. Wine list is hilarious: chablit, burganday, all Sutter Home. At least it's cheap (2.50 glass). One person thought they had added water to the wine though. Our waittress spoke little English, but performed nicely. Food service was prompt. Interior has been redone, the chairs are so Taj Mahal looking, they are great (we sat in a booth however). I ordered the vegetarian Maharani plate which cost more than the other dinners. It's listed under ""feasts"" at the bottom of the menu. Feast, not really. Skimpy portions for veg food. Nice naan and samosas (the meat filling is ground, not so nice), vegetarian are the best. The Saag paneer (spinach and Indian cheese) dish ala carte was fabulous. My husband liked it and he hates spinach. Two people could just order that and bread, perhaps one more side dish and be totally full. We will probably go back sometime, but will be more careful ordering the meat dishes (ask about the cut, white or dark meat, etc). The ala carte portions are very generous, but the whole meal combos are only about 1/3 cup each item. My rice was cold and under cooked. Upgrade to basmati or order more naan and forget the rice. We all ordered ""medium"" spicy and nothing was at all hot. I hate to imagine mild. Like Mexican, I prefer a little heat in Indian food. NOTE: Both my husband and I (HIGHLY unusual for me) had indigestion after dinner...the dishes are very rich. They use lots of cream in the dishes to ramp up the flavor. Pros: New interior, prompt service, no waiting Cons: Rich food, dicey meats more
