*** Vegetarian Review *** Service - F Naan - A+ ... the only reason it gets a 2 star. Really good naan. Was in the area and craving Indian. This was the first on the list and I was happy to see there was a big vegetarian section on their menu. Walked in. Nobody there. There is a bell to ring to get someone's attention which is a little odd. Maybe they wouldn't need so many security cameras posted throughout the restaurant if they had someone managing the front of the house. Anyway ... After standing at the door for about 5 minutes, someone finally comes out. Tells us to sit wherever we would like. Follows us to the table and then leaves. Ten minutes sitting, I finally realized it was self-serve for menus. I got up, walked back to the cash register and grabbed our own menus. Ten more minutes, someone finally comes out to take our order, but he was holding menus. If I didn't grab our own menu, it would've been 20 minutes before we even got a menu apparently. Asked a couple of questions about the menu, specifically if the vegetarian dinner combo could be personalized. He said the vegetarian tikka masala could not be swapped with paneer tikka masala so we asked for a couple more minutes. Fifteen minutes later, he returns to take our order. Paneer Tikka Masala ($14.99, Grade C). Homemade cheese cooked in a creamy tomato sauce with herbs and spices. This is one of our go-to-dishes and this was way too saucy and runny and much sweeter than I am accustomed to. Dal Mahkani ($12.99, Grade C+) Simmered mixed lentils, seasoned with butter, herbs, and spices. Another staple, but because it was near room temperature, it was just okay. THE GOOD - the dishes came with rice, but the BAD, the rice was so cold. It was below room temperature. Naan ($2.99, Grade A+) Tandoori bread baked in a clay pot. The star of the show. THE BAD - we also ordered raita and tamarin. After our food was delivered, these weren't given at the time. We waited a few minutes, but both knew we weren't going to get this and we were right. We were never checked on once while we ate our food. Bottom line. Really bad service and we were the only ones in the restaurant. The food was cold and we didn't get everything we ordered. At checkout, they asked how everything was and I told them we never received the raita or tamarin and were told "it is just really busy and could get some now." We politely turned down a bowl of raita on our way out, but memo to all restaurant workers ... no patron wants to hear you are too busy as a reason you didn't get half-way decent service. Get the naan to go, but I would never recommend this place to anyone. Would I come back? Never. Would not recommend. Looking for really good Indian? Go to Chaat Kafe (Natomas) or Punjabi Tandoor (Anaheim). read more
