Man, I wish I could just bottle up the experience I had at Mother India and post that feeling to Yelp, because this place was awesome.
We booked for around 8 on a Saturday night and when traffic was bad they were very cool about letting us push the booking back. When we arrived, there were a few other fairly large parties and a DJ/musician/entertainer going in front of a dance floor with a disco ball, all set it what otherwise appeared to be like any other Indian restaurant. It was awesome.
We were seated and the wait staff was very friendly and for some reason super interested in the fact that I'm American. They got our bottle of wine quickly (they had a good selections of regional and international bottles and the prices weren't bad, all things considered) and we ordered shortly after that. I had a vegetarian potato dish, and the menu is really explanatory and the staff can help you in getting the right amounts of rice, bread, etc. for the table.
My food was DELICIOUS, as was everyone else's at our table. Rich flavors, just all around great food.
Since the DJ/musician/entertainer had also found out I am American, he started singing country music/Bruce Springsteen, which apparently really got the table around me going, because shortly after our food was delivered the dance floor was packed with awkwardly dancing middle aged people, jamming out to the oldies. Dinner and a show! read more
