How a Place Goes Down!

by LABideshi at Citysearch

I agree with Sherlock!

This is perhaps the worst of any Indian restaurant. The owner thinks he knows the business, NOT! Food is stale, tasteless, no flavor or texture. I tried Chicken Tandoori--full of food coloring & perhaps the cheapest possible chicken drum sticks available (from Smart & Final). Their flatware, glasses, silverware need serious changing. Inside the restaurant is dirty, like a Romanian gypsy tent. Carpet hasn't been shampoo'd for centuries. Wait staff hardly understands English (what a shame).

At least, these people could make it up with their service. But they fail miserably. Rice was hard, barely edible. Beef vindaloo is the worst ever. Who knows what's the level of their kitchen cleanliness...?

Need I say more...?

• Cons: Worst food, worst service!

Horrible!

by Sherlock at Citysearch

This restaurant is just horrible! I live in Southern California and have eaten at dozens of Indian restaurants. I don't know how they continue to be in business. Their buffet was nowhere comparable to any other restaurant.

So we decided to order from the menu. Seeing how seedy the place looked (layers of dust everywhere and filthy carpet and decor), we ordered only a couple of dishes with trepidation. Our fears were well founded, not a single item was of good quality. We are vegetarians and perhaps they do not know how to cook veggie food. But then even the Nan (bread) was uncooked. Inexcusable and a real waste of time and money. AVOID IT!!!

• Pros: Example: best croissants in town
• Cons: What are the drawbacks?

A gem of an Indian restaurant

by teddio at Citysearch

Fine Indian food, tandoori chicken a standout. All the sauces were very good, and the onion bhaji and samosa both great. Never crowded, don't know why, we eat there 3-4 times a month. Fair prices, parking in lot or on street. All in all, much better than the overpriced places on Ventura Bl.

• Pros: quality of food
• Cons: None
