really poor food and dirty kitchen
by neverumind at Citysearch
I have eaten at over 100 Indian restaurants in my life and i have never eaten in a place like this. I was appalled at the food. The rice arrived cold, the curry was like a water paste and tasted extremely bland. The bathroom is in the back and is next to the kitchen. Absolutley filthy! The Mexican chefs where hanging around at the front of the kitchen and looked like they hadn't washed. There was food all over the floor and the state of the place was dirty. My friend ordered fish and he couldnt even eat it as it was full of bones. He sent it back and they still had the ordasity to try and charge us for it. Really really poor food and dirty place. Gordon Ramsey would shut it down in a heart beat. DONT EVEN BOTHER GOING
- Pros: none
- Cons: cold bland food

Poor and rude service
by citygal415 at Citysearch
Having eaten there before, I know how busy it can get during weekday lunch hours, so anticipated a wait. After having my order taken by the manager, I waited about 45 minutes and still no food despite asking twice about the status of our order. I even raised my hand up high to get any wait staff's attention. The last straw was when two larger tables were served before us (my party of only 2); even though they were seated about 15 minutes after us. We asked for the check just to settle the sodas we had drank, that took another 3 minutes. I tossed $5 on the table and walked out. NEVER AGAIN AND WILL TELL ANYONE WHO WORKS NEAR THERE, TO GO ELSEWHERE. Complacent management and under staffed is to blame.
- Pros: location
- Cons: poor service, poorer management

Boo-boo, bummer and bummed

As the title goes, it was a mistake to select this restaurant for lunch, then the bitter experience there. Hygiene practices left much to be desired. Food was hot but stale and they even don?t mind insulting you, mind it, it could be visual, verbal and both.
Evaluate the medical insurance and enter at your own risk.
- Pros: None
- Cons: The space is less for it
