Masala tea (chai): tastes home-made. creamy, and spicy. very satisfying. ordered a second one.
Veggie Pakora: this was heavy on the fried batter, but the inside was delicious large pieces of fresh veggies. i am used to sliced mixed veggies, but the whole pieces were equally good.
Chicken tikka: the chicken was mostly dark meat (which was disappointing for us, but may be something others like), but moist.
Chicken tikka masala: the masala sauce was good-creamy, well spiced, although we didn't think to order it spicy enough--it might have been better this way.
Gulab Jamun: too soft. i prefer when i can bite into it rather than it just dissolving in my mouth.
Ice cream (Malai Kulfi): this came to the table and all of a sudden there was an overwhelming aroma of something like Lysol. it might have been the rose water? i don't know--it just tasted very perfumey. the texture was also inexplicably gritty.
mint chutney: DELICIOUS
tamarind chutney: DELICIOUS
Butter naan: very doughy, not crispy, no discernible butter. but a large portion which would have been a plus if it was better naan.
Atmosphere: we walked in to the restaurant and it looked like a windowless cave with fluorescent blue mood lighting. and it smelled like a dirty public restroom. not a good first impression. (to get there you either have to go up a cramped service elevator or a frighteningly dirty stairwell). but, when we first arrived at the mansion, we were greeted at the door with the restaurant promoters who led the way through the maze up to the elevator which was helpful.
Service: we arrived shortly after 6pm and there was a table right away. service was prompt and friendly. there seemed to be a ratio of one waiter per table so it appeared bustling especially for the small size of the place.
Overall, the meal and atmosphere were disappointing. But the chai is something I would come back for if I was in the area, and the chutneys would make me want to order the samosas next time to eat them with.
