Editorial Review for Electric Karma – by Tara de Lis

In Short
Close-together wooden sidewalk tables are a familiar site along this popular restaurant stretch, but belie a much warmer, more traditional interior. Large mirrors add depth to the main room, framed by deep red walls, white linen tablecloths and ornate Geineshas. Further back, the "patio" offers playful wall paintings of a dancing lavendar Hindu goddess and floor tables strewn with plush, vibrant pillows. The menu includes popular dishes such as samosas, lamb korma and chicken tikka masala.

When I saw that this restaurant had five stars and such low prices, I thought "Wow, this must be one of those super cool holes in the wall that you only stumble upon by accident or have to hear about through your friends," but I was wrong. The food was sub average at best (I could get the same Samosa and Pakoras at any higher end any indianmarket for much less money) and the service was absolutely abysmal. It was extremely frustrating gaining the attention of the servers, they were just hanging aroud the Bar. Some of am playing around the computer. though I frequently called for them making pleading eye gestures, waving, even calling out to them directly, all to no avail. Even as the servers passed by me and made eye contact, they kept moving on. We had to ask for our bill three times and only got it after complaining that we had asked so many times and had been waiting up to half an hour. I will definitely never come here again.

Either people were paid to give these positive reviews or they simply don't know what real indian food is. First off, the place feels almost claustophobic and cramped. Our table was located next to the bar. Not a good spot. Then again, i didnt see any good tables anyways. Our waiter was annoying, why do people feel the need to put on an act and try to come across as AMERICAN when they are not. Wine was ok, just your average pino grigio. The food itself wasn't really close of even being average. It just wasn't good. Bad day? Maybe. Maybe not. In the end, we couldn't wait to be done and leave.
