I was disappointed with the monthly karaoke event at Jhopri. In my experience, the event felt more…read morecentered around the owner than the participants. The owner appeared to spend much of the evening drinking and talking, which often interrupted the flow of the karaoke program and reduced opportunities for others to sing. I also felt that personal boundaries were not always respected, and some interactions with female guests appeared overly familiar, like touching females. During the recent month karaoke the owner hugged a female in the most embarrassing awkward way, in the pretext of asking sorry, that she had to struggle to get of. He keeps hugging every female for some reasons. High time he stops misusing his event. Do not touch a female unnecessarily. A karaoke event should be welcoming and respectful for everyone present. A little more professionalism, decorum, and consideration for participants would go a long way toward improving the experience. If you organize an event, it should primarily be for the enjoyment of the guests, not for yourself.

I most often get disappointed when I eat in South Indian (Tamil) restaurants in the US simply…read morebecause I know how food is supposed to taste, having grown up with that all my life. That said, Arusuvai was one of the few restaurants that did not let me down. My parents loved the food, and I was impressed with the taste and quality, as well as the authenticity. We had ordered Briyani, Parotta, and Mutton Curry for lunch, and had also ordered Crab Masala for to go. They all tasted very good, especially the crab. Food might seem a little on the pricey side but I think it is definitely worth it. Staff were friendly and Service was fast enough but we did visit pretty on the tail end of the lunch rush, so not sure how the service will be when they are packed. Decor was pretty much standard South Indian restaurant style.

This was, without a doubt, the worst restaurant experience I've ever had…read more We had a reservation for 10 people at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday. Upon arrival, we were told we could choose between the banana leaf special or the à la carte menu. However, when I tried to order from the à la carte menu, I was told it would take at least an hour to receive the food and that we should order the banana leaf special instead. If the à la carte menu isn't realistically available, it shouldn't be offered. We ordered four vegetarian banana leaf specials and six non-vegetarian specials, along with a Diet Coke and a ginger ale. The service and food quality were extremely disappointing. The banana leaves were brought out with a few items already placed on them -- all of which were cold. The curries followed about 15 minutes later and were also cold. The appetizers didn't arrive until at least 30 minutes later, and only after we reminded the staff multiple times. Our drinks didn't arrive for nearly an hour. To make matters worse, the waiter substituted seltzer for ginger ale without informing us because they didn't have ginger ale. When we pointed out that this was not what we ordered, he seemed annoyed rather than apologetic. The poori arrived after we had already finished eating, and only two were brought out for a table of ten. Slow service is an understatement. Adding to the frustration, we were told ordering à la carte would take an hour, yet the table next to us -- served by a different waiter -- ordered à la carte and received their food before their banana leaf specials arrived. Interestingly, when we asked for the check, it arrived immediately. We were automatically charged a 20% gratuity, and the waiter then asked if we wanted to add an additional tip. When we expressed our disappointment about the cold food and poor service, his response was dismissive and unprofessional: "There are 25 items -- how much can you eat?". For clarity, the banana leaf special does not even include 25 items, making that comment both inaccurate and inappropriate Cold food, slow and disorganized service, poor communication, and unprofessional behavior made this an unacceptable experience. I would not recommend this restaurant.

This one has an edge with its Palak Chat which is outstanding and it used to be goat curry but no longer as Thumkaa has a great goat curry. And of course a full Bar. So when we want Palak Chat only we visit. Thumkaa however has better service. Their employees have a superb benefit living package and stay longer. Mrs. Kumar used to have great service but many of its staff have left. So you have 3-4 I assume management standing around and even with a bar when you order anything it takes 5+ minutes and re-ordering to be served. Thumkaa management makes a point to come around, especially Sunil. We have met Mrs. Kumar a few times but there is no recognition to guests that come frequently as with Sunil at Thumkaa. Chefs are both good but Ifran at Thumkaa visits with folks. The kheer which was great has changed into something terrible. No rice . No live music and buffet (fine dining). A in food and B in service. B+ atmosphere.

As a starter, we went with their recommendation for appetizer, chicken chettinad, tender chicken coated in a unique spice mixture. If you're a fan of some serious spicy food, this is for you. Even with the many choices in biryanis, we went with the traditional Hyderabadi dum. It's bone in chicken slow cooked with layers of spices, herbs, onions, ghee, and basmati rice. Totally hit the spot with a nice heat. To soothe our palate after all the heat, we shared a creamy dal makhani and 2 naan. This was all enough to share for 4 people and would be back to try new things. Service was friendly with few moments of confusion and we never did get one of the sides we wanted. Great food and worth a trip!
