Food Quality - Food was about average. I did like the Reuben sandwich, but the shepherd's pie was not balanced. Too much meat, not enough vegetables and potatoes. The potato skins were a little overdone.

 

Service - Service was extremely poor here. Maybe due to the fact we didn't order alcoholic beverages or we were using an entertainment coupon, our waitress seemed a little snotty and did not come by often. We had to continually ask for refills in our water glasses

 

Cleanliness - restaurant was rather clean, bathroom was small and downstairs. Did not look handicapped accessible. They had the old style cloth towels that loop around to dry your hands. Very unsanitary in this day and age

 

Price - sandwiches average $6-8, dinners were $11-15.

 

Misc - We will never go back to this place. Her interpretation of using the Entertainment coupon was off. We ordered 2 dinners and 1 sandwich. She took the sandwich as the discount. Also, the lack of service and friendliness led us to make the decision this was our one and only time in this restaurant. If it wasn't for the Reuben sandwich, I would've given this a grade F. Grade: D

Food Quality - Food was very good. We like to enjoy Indian food once in awhile.

 

Service - Service was extremely great. Our waiter was friendly, always was concerned that we had enough water and that our food was to our liking.

 

Cleanliness - restaurant is clean. We did not use the bathroom

 

Price - price was about the same as other restaurants. Most of the entrees were in the range of $10-15 for a dinner. They do have a daily lunch buffet for $6.95, 7 days per week. That price is rare on weekends. We plan on visiting their buffet to see how the variety is.

 

Misc - I recommend this restaurant. To date, we never seem to be disappointed when eating at Indian restaurants. Though the food tends to be spicy, if you can handle that, service and quality is always there. I will update this when we go back for the buffet. Grade: A
