    Buffet selection
    Blair E.

    I finally had the opportunity to visit Sahib. I'd been looking forward to it based on the reviews. I was craving Indian food and had the time, so went for lunch. Honestly the food was just OK. I got the buffet so I could try a few different things. First of all, there was plenty of steam coming from the buffet itself but nothing I got was hot. It was noon and moderately busy so I was quite surprised that nothing was hot. The tandoori chicken had a good taste. The chicken curry was mostly bones and cartilage. The chicken tikka masala was pretty mild but had a decent flavor. The naan was good but it was better by itself as the dips weren't great. The raita especially had a very weird taste and was pretty runny. I'm not saying that I wouldn't go back, but it definitely will not be a regular dining option for me.

    Our first visit was for the lunch buffet, we tried the chicken tiki Marsala, chili chicken, the veg mix, nan and even dessert it was SO good! The service was excellent and they have great ambiance, even a bar!

    Papadum

    They seemed to be just opening up after a break when I visited, as noted by some regulars who came in while I was waiting for my takeout. Seeing papadums and such granted to the visitors, I was beginning to wonder whether I should have eaten in despite the nice weather. However, I found my takeout bag contained all sorts of things, including a papadum and sauces, as well as rice with whole spices in it, and a lentil soup spiced with something along the lines of a ghost pepper. The option to order chole bhatura as an appetizer resulted in two small but fluffy fried breads and some fantastic chickpeas. For anyone who hasn't tried dipping a fried bread in a chickpea curry which has cinnamon and fruity notes, if that sounds a little strange your tastebuds will likely get on board with this flavor quickly. I added a stir fry of okra and onions; it was a bit heavy on okra stems, good to waste less I guess but I'm still not really a fan of those. Overall, however, this was some quality Indian food with a lot of effort put into it.

It was an extremely tacky and disappointing experience especially since I loved tiptons when I was a college student at ETSU. I will not fight to spend my hard earned money anywhere therefore I will not be visiting a bar that discriminates against my nationality and identification. Very unwelcoming and disheartening... so much for supporting local businesses. I am a world traveler and have NEVER being denied entry anywhere else in the world. Pathetic.

This place was close to where we were having dinner at so we walked over to the place.

Nothing wrong with that we were greeted with water so we had to decide what we wanted to drink. Highly recommend that you use your phone since the menus are QR code. Prices were pretty fair for the speakeasy. Restrooms were absolutely clean. A few things I noticed that kind of dropped a few Stars was that the Speakeasy was absolutely cold!It had to be about 60° inside. It took a long time for us to be served. Lastly, I noticed some of the staff drinking behind the bar. People here are absolutely friendly , you got all walks of life here and everyone here is having a great time. The staff are dressed for the occasion and it does feel intimate being inside this speakeasy. Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back here again. After leaving, you leave through the back door. I do believe that the prices were a bit High compared to other visits of speakeasies I've been to but that's more so on Tennessee's part for the way they Factor checks.

Naturally I bought a ticket weeks in advance and got out my "Janet" costume. Rocky Horror is my not so secret secret love and I've been to dozens and dozens of performances throughout the southeast and in the UK. A girlfriend joined me and we met up at Capone's. The bar itself was really beautiful. A wall of booths lined the left and the substantial bar was parallel. The bouncers checked us in online and we got our wristbands with no issue. Drinks were up first and as I had a 30 minute drive back to Kingsport, I limited myself to one, but it was really good! Top shelf gin and soda with extra lime (to cover up the gin flavor - haha!) We moved beyond the bar into the second lower level space which was a mini/performance venue. The kind I frequented in high school and college (before kids, really...) and we staked out a place at the front so we could see the whole thing. Partially because I freaking love Rocky Horror and partially because my girlfriend is super petite and wouldn't be able to see over anyone's head if we didn't. I was delighted that there was an opening band. Having no idea what to expect I thought it was a bonus. However the bigger surprise was that the opening band was part of the Rocky cast! It ended up being a fantastic musical rendering of the movie and musicals I have seen before, complete with costumes and a word for word script recitation along with all musical numbers. We were blown away. I wish I could have gone back again for a chill evening at the bar, but I give it my full approval. The drinks were good, the aesthetic is really sumptuous and pretty, the restrooms were clean and the show was super fun!!! I'll make it back next time I'm in Kingsport or JC.
