mediocre at best. we went after hearing a lot of good things about this place. what we found was a lot of hit and miss. first was the service design. you order at a counter and wait for your food to be served. this would work for a fast-moving operation. however, this clearly was not. long lines, which of course led topeopletrying to decide what they wanted for dessert, or organizing an appetizer (which would come out with everything you ordered), etc. because no one wanted to encounter the line again. forget about getting a second beer or wine either. compounding this was the very confusing issue of busing tables. somepeopledid their own, some did not. there was no clearly established process for this. as such,peoplestood around while you ate waiting for tables to be cleared, or by chance for a cleared table.
the food was also hit and miss. the saag paneer was pretty good, but did not separate itself from any other place. the goat curry was outstanding. perfectly spiced. however, it was on a "plate" that came crammed with many different samplings of indian cuisine that seemed forced. the cracker and flatbread were too similar to go on one plate. the chutney and dal were fine, especially the dal. there were two other samplings as well. perhaps all of these samplings would have worked if they were served over several courses? i would have preferred to have the option of just the curry with rice, and maybe some raita.
we ordered two sides as well. one was the samosas, which were supposed to be an appetizer. these things were huge and dense, and way too filling. we were used to the lighter, fried versions. i would not call these appetizers. the other side was some garlic naan. again, we were used to the naan cooked with actual crushed garlic on it. instead we got this naan brushed with garlic butter that became limp and soggy.
might try this place again, but not for a while.
