After reading the reviews I thought of trying it out ignoring manojkaushik's review. I was wrong and I should not have gone there. The place was empty on a friday night at 7PM and i thought twice before entering in. It looks like a old run down place.
Now I ordered a collection of appetizers to start with and a regular Lassi. The Lassi tasted like few days old bitter buttermilk. The aloo pakoda came with thick slices of aloo and it tasted raw. Vada is hard and tasted like the batter mix is at least few days old. Samosa was sweet and the regular pakoda is the only one that tasted slightly edible.
My wife ordered Malai Kofta which is her favorite dish and Tandoori Naan for one entree and I ordered Onion and Chilli Utappam. The naan was alright but the Malai Kofta was awful in taste and looks. The jeera rice that came with the dish tasted bad. She barely touched her food even though we were hungry. As for utappam it can not be called utappam at all. It seemed like a thick dosa with onions and jalapeno peppers placed on it like pepperoni. The coconut chutney that came with utappam is definitely few days old. Sambhar was alright.
It was a bad meal overall in a bad restaurant and I wanted to let the owner know about it and wrote on the back of the bill that the food is awful.
Now here is the kicker, as we are driving back he called me. It would have been alright if he asked why I didn't like the food. I would have told him and that would be the end of it. Instead he starts swearing in foul language and says I ate his food. He should realize that I paid $35 for that awful food and I expect a decent dinner for what I paid. I visited Tandoor on tuesday and India Palace on thursday before visiting this place on friday and got extremely tasteful food for the same $35.
This place does not deserve the good ratings it got and the owner should be exposed for his behavior. Beware if you are planning to visit this place. I recommend you try other restaurants.
Cons: Owner, Food, Environment
