Came at noon, only 1 other table was full. We ordered 3 set menus with the fried potato starter, chicken curry and dessert. Ordering was a bit strange, I asked if we could make 2 of the curries spicy. Could not get a straight answer, asked directly 3 or more times and finally got "let me check with the kitchen". Instead of checking, the orders were put in. When the curries arrived I asked "excuse me, are two of these spicy since that is how we ordered" this resulted in a minute of confusion, again I had to ask several times although there was not a lack of english language skills - they were just trying to dodge the question. Finally they brought spicy sauce. Which is fine with me!! Just say, "we will bring spicy sauce" instead of making it so awkward!!
Curry taste was ok. Rice was not indian rice, but soggy chinese rice - actually I don't mind because it soaks the curry sauce well. Half of the Naan was burnt.
Anyhow, Fried Potato starters tasted pretty good, but 2 very small pieces presented on a large plate with a few sad shreds of lettuce. If they would put more lettuce or get smaller plates the presentation would be so much better.
Dessert was horrible, described as "cottage cheese w/ liquid sugar" or something, but it is not cottage cheese at all. Not sure what it is , but imagine styrofoam soaked in simple syrup (sugar water). Skip this.
Also the first round of water was cold and tasted fresh, the second round was luke-warm and tasted like it had been sitting around - not good.
A few small tweaks and I think this place would be full every lunch time, the food is not horrible.
