My thoughts:
I am not joking when I say that I've been wanting to come here for years, since university in fact! This is just so out of my way. But my dad and I so happened to both be free this evening, and I was having the worst craving for rice, so I suggested we come here.
We called 20 minutes ahead requesting for a window table and were told one was available. But when we got there, we told no window tables were available and given another table. (I wanted a window table so that my food pics would turn out better.) Anyway, that was a very minor issue, if even that.
We ordered the ALOO PAPRI CHAAT ($4.95), which is a combination of chickpeas, potatoes & flour chips served with chutney & yogurt. This wasn't bad albeit nothing special. I've had better.
We also shared the DAAL MAKHANI ($9.95) with an order of STEAMED RICE ($2.99). Looking back, it was pretty foolish of me to order something other than their namesake dish, given that we were only ordering one dish. Call it what you want, but I was just really craving daal, and my dad loves lentils. It seemed like a pretty safe bet. This again was nothing special, though the serving dish (pot) was unique.
All in all, this was a huge letdown. We don't have any real complaints, but this is hardly something worth making such a trek for. What we had today wasn't good enough to warrant a return visit, even to try their butter chicken.
