First of all, let me admit that this is probably my favorite Indian restaurant in Marin. But, please let me clarify that there are so few Indian restaurants in Marin to choose from that this should not necessarily be considered a compliment. But, what I mean to write about here is not the food (or perhaps slightly associated with it, but not directly). I went to this restaurant on January 31, 2009. I had my two young chilren with me. I ordered an appetizer from the menu (one which the boys had eaten to much delight on prior visits). When we received this dish on this visit, it was extremely spicy (and it is not described as spicy on the menu as other items are). It was so spicy that no one at the table could eat it. So, I sent it back. I ended up sending it back 30 or 40 minutes into the dinner. Not because I waited so long to speak up, but because that is approximately how long it took for us to receive our food in the first place. So, when it came time to settle up and leave (which took another 15 minutes to get our check), they refused to take the dish off the bill. They did provide a 10% discount on the entire bill, but that still left me payng more than 50% of the cost of a dish no one could eat. So, that was my experience - it seems to be inconsistent to me. Fortunately, it will not ever happen to me again - because I would rather not do business with people like this. Someone please let me know of any other good Indian restaurants in Marin!
