I had high hopes for Zum Zum. It was billed (by fellow brown people no less) as one of the better indian restaurants around. The line snaked out the door so I figured it must be good. But I was sorely disappointed. I had hoped that this would turn out to be the classic hole-in-the-wall with amazing food type of place (something like Shalimar in SF). But the items I ordered (lamb spinach and lamb with peas) were very greasy even on an indian restaurant scale and lacking flavor. The vegeterian dishes, ironically, looked much more appetizing. Perhaps if you stay away from the lamb, you'll do better. But the chicken looked layered in equal amounts of oil. It's sort of like soup nazi service withouth the great soup. I feel cheated and nauseous.
