We had a very disappointing experience at Flavours of India…read more We ordered butter chicken and lamb butter masala, both mild. There were only three occupied tables in the restaurant. While waiting, we watched a server bring two dishes and rice to the booth next to us, speak with the diners for a few minutes, and then return to the kitchen with the food. Shortly afterward, our entrées arrived. They didn't look quite like what we expected. Mine was surprisingly spicy despite ordering mild, and my husband commented that his was a completely different flavor and not butter masala. After eating for a bit, we realized these appeared to be the same dishes we had just watched go to the other table and return to the kitchen. By then, everyone else in the restaurant had already been served. When my husband questioned the server, he acknowledged that we had not been given what we ordered. There was no apology, no offer to replace our meals, and no attempt to make it right. We were simply asked if we were ready for the bill. Whether the food was good became beside the point. Being served the wrong order under these circumstances, followed by the lack of concern when we brought it to their attention, made this an experience we won't repeat.

We visited in mid September and the experience was similar to our past visits. It was a slow night,…read moreso it was difficult to see how the effects of Covid were handled here. Service was prompt and friendly, the food arrived in a reasonable time, hot and as ordered. The food quality was excellent - mutter paneer, chili prawns and aloo gobi, all well spiced and delicious. If pressured for a negative, I would say that the garlic naan was a bit bland and rubbery, but the tasty salted roti more than made up for that. We have always liked the quiet, slightly elegant ambience of this restaurant, and the excellent food will keep us coming back.
