After we had sat and ordered our food a group of about 20 people had sat down. We had already been…read morewaiting for about 30 minutes at this point an only had pompano to snack on. The larger group was served before us even though we had arrived much earlier. 30 more minutes later the group finished their food about to leave and we had only just now gotten our food. The food was subpar, could get better Indian food anywhere else. Butter chicken and tikka masala was insanely sweet and the biryani dry. If any of the men working here tells you to come inside and they'll offer you a "discount" say no.

I had no idea how aggressive the 'sales' would be walking down brick lane. We were approached by…read morepretty much every indian restaurant as we walked claiming that their food was the best. All pretty much offered the same deal... 25% off the entire check and a round of free drinks. After we finished our stroll and declining every offer to hear the next one, we went back to the one that sounded the most enticing (and the most crowded)... this place. Little did we know we were being set up for a bait and switch tactic. The staff was friendly upon entering, accommodating our family of 6 by swiftly arranging the tables and pulling them out so we could sit down. After seating they asked what we wanted to drink and I told them the 'deal' that we were granted. I almost expected them to know what their guy was selling outside to get us in the door but they immediately sounded struck by surprise. Like a car salesman, the server immediately went to the manager to make sure that he could grant us the deal. He came back and asked who specifically told us about the deal. I pointed outside to the guy who now seemed to disappear but handed them the business card that he gave me. They said 'okay'. The temperature seemed to drop immediately like they were getting the lousy end of the stick. He then asked us what we wanted to drink. I confirmed that the round was free and he confirmed. 1 beer and 5 mango lassi's please. As we proceeded to look at the menu, I was actually surprised at how high the prices were. In my mind, I was thinking they jacked up the price knowing that they would be giving out discounts to get people in the door. That's fine I guess. 25% off brought the prices back down to reality. We continued to look at the menu and then we made our order. Shortly after ordering our drinks came out. The mango lassi's were pretty good. thick and creamy. The beer was super small. About an 8 oz pour (half pint). That's fine I guess cause it should be free right? I wouldn't mind ordering another. About 5 minutes after enjoying some of our drinks the manager or owner or some authority figure came over to our table with a tablet. He explained to us that he couldn't possibly afford to give us a free round of drinks AND 25% off. He proceeded to tell us that his establishment was very high quality and we'd be getting a great meal at standard prices without a discount. He offered us one or the other... EITHER 25% off the entire check OR the 1 round of free drinks. I specifically told him that we came into the restaurant with that deal in mind and we could have just went next door with the same deal. The car salesman in him seemed to come out and he continued to talk up his restaurant saying how fancy it was and that he could not afford to give us both. He was visibly getting upset that we would hold to what they offered to us in the first place. I told him that he shouldn't be getting upset with us, but his dude outside that was offering this deal if anything. How preposterous! He eventually turned around to his colleague upset. I looked at my wife and she said they may spit in our food or something. I agreed and we decided to just get up and leave. We left our drinks there and got the family out of there. I normally don't write 1 star reviews. I'll generally give the establishment some leniency thinking that the workers just had a bad day or it was a fluke. Not this one. It felt like they were set up to grab as much money from customers as they could knowing that we were tourists and 1-time guests. Maybe it was a fluke. Maybe their food is actually good. I will never know and won't ever care to know since our experience was a bad one. BTW, we walked about a block and got some indian takeout and ate it at the hotel and it was delicious!

The chicken is cooked in the tandoor and you can really taste the smokeyness it adds to it. I enjoyed the dish very much, although it was a bit sweeter than what I'm used to. The garlic naan was delicious! Also a pleasant surprise was what I believe to be a large puffed rice cracker/cake and mint parsley chutney that was added in complimentary!

My issue with this place is not the food, but the extremely slow service. There was one person taking orders and bringing out the food. It seems like they put in the entire order per table and bring it out when the whole thing is ready. So be ready to wait at least 45-50 minutes for even the appetizers. The server didn't even tell us that the food will take that long. I had a very hungry toddler with me. Had I known we will spend 2 hours at this place, we would have gone somewhere else. Now to the food. Here is what we ordered: - Vegetable Samosa: Was decent. Came out hot and fresh. - Vegetable Pakoras: Yummy!! I loved these pakoras. They have a kids menu with nuggets and fries, which is great. But I wouldn't go back here and wait that long for the food. I'm used to the food coming out as it gets ready.
