Worst ever biriyani I have tasted in my life. Since its a to go order , I have called them after opening the box. It smells and tastes like 2 days old one.They're not either agreeing, and saying next time they'll correct it.Why should we eat a spoiled food by paying them.Will never recommend to anyone, won't go back here.Can't give 0 , so gave 1 star.Spoiled food and not a real Raitha.
Outside, place is worn & in need of a face lift.Inside, decor is dated.Bathrooms were unclean, trash overflowing, dirty sinks, floors had dead bugs, & a bad sign of things to come. First impressions matter & gave us the impression this place was a mistake to try and were we right. I don’t know what other people see or are eating, maybe they do know what Indian food is supposed to taste like or quality. Poor representation of Tamil Nadu first off.Boyfriend was insulted that this place calls itself authentic, he is from Tamil Nadu and found the food disgusting.I’m American who knows authentic Indian food.This is not it! We ordered Medu Vada for an appetizer,didn’t get it until late in the meal & only after asking our waitress where it was.She said, it was being made fresh.Thus, giving us the impression our main course was not fresh. Service was horrible, the girl spent more time in the kitchen then taking care of the two tables in the dining area, and she couldn’t do it well either.She had no clue about the menu or food being served.She needs proper staff training.She was not attentive or knowledgeable. We ordered Saag(spinach) paneer and butter chicken masala, paratha bread and chapati bread.Our main course came first and with only one bread.We had to ask her where is the other bread and she was, “oh, I forgot to bring it.” She couldn’t deliver what we ordered and was absentminded.The Saag paneer was cooked properly but not served hot, the butter chicken had good flavor but the chicken was overcooked and tasted old so I pushed the chicken aside and ate only the masala.The basmati rice was okay.Both breads were not fresh, they tasted like frozen pre-made and probably were.When the appetizer finally arrived we were nearly done with our meal, it was bland and cake like. We asked for a take away box and it took her over 10 minutes to bring it, I could’ve got up and went to the servers station and got one myself faster.We could her here in the kitchen, again! The gentleman at the next table got up and went to the kitchen after 25 minutes of no server, to ask where his food was.He was so upset he left, then minutes later a staff member came out of the kitchen, we assume with the other customers food, sat down at a table and proceeded to eat the food.Shameless! Unprofessional! Even after we got up to leave, our waitress did not clean the other customers table, she went right back into the kitchen, horrible professionalism. I don’t know how this place stays open.Serious staff issues, horrible customer service, unclean dining area & bathrooms, and food that cannot be called authentic Indian anything. For $48.00 I expect better food, better serves, and a clean atmosphere than what we received.Overall, a disappointment! I cannot recommend this place nor will we be back! It is not authentic by any means and an insult to all Tamil.
Update: went to the restaurant again.Food was still ok but this time we ordered Ras Malai and owner served us Rasogulla.When we brought this to their attention they showed us the box saying that the box says it’s Ras Malai.It’s the responsibility of the manager/owner or server to check for the item if it’s right item or not.We showed them what Ras Malai actually is by showing the item on Google search and they just kept referring to the box.A bit disappointing.We didn’t care about paying for the desert but it’s bad to see that an Indian restaurant owner does not know the items listed on their own menu. 2.Update the menu card given to customers in the restaurant with the updated new prices.The menu which is being given has old low prices and when the bill comes you are surprised to see the items prices $1-$2 up for all individual items. Old: We went to the restaurant on Friday evening for dinner.Place was almost empty for a Friday night but May be it was because of the location.It’s almost hidden and definitely need some better visibility.This is the first time I went to this restaurant.Place recently got new ownership and we heard from the owner that things are getting on track.Whatever we order was available, food was delicious and value for price.Portion size was good and quality of the food was also good.Perfectly balanced spices in all the dishes. Order: We order Ghee Roast Dosa, Andrakara Masala Dosai, Chicken Kothu Parantha, and Chicken Curry with Garlic Naan. Dosas were good and chutneys were also balanced.Sambhar was a bit too oily for general dosa style but taste and consistency wise it was good.Kutthu parantha was sufficient for one person for dinner and it was tasty 😋.Chicken curry was good by portion for price and fresh with good quality all around. With all that good quality, I hope that the new owners Keep the quality to this level at-least and improve on services a bit.Some improvements on the service side is required to reduce the waiting time for the food especially try to get the order of one table first so that all members can start eating together rather then waiting for 20-30 minutes when other members have already had their food.Maybe extra capacity in kitchen and 1-2 extra servers.
