The server was not caring what I want. I wanted to order a dish with cheek pease l, he said that he understands that he is going to order it. In the end I received a dish with Tofu!!! And I don't like Tofu. He had hard time to explain if they use coconut milk, or milk inside different dishes - stuff they usually should know. Especially if I have allergy. He didn't disturb much to check, he didn't listen to me. He was friendly but neglectful. He didn't care what I want to eat or to understand my preference - he would interrupt me and say "I know, I know!" Let's say that it was a surprise in the end. We order two types of naan and we received it. Himalayan appetizer was okay. And then I order a dish that was a surprise. My friend order lamp- he didn't eat more than a spoon. I don't know what was the reason. Reasonable in price. But nothing that I would give 5 Star to. Beautiful interior rappresent pictures of Nepal, Kathmandu Himalaya. Service I would give 1 star for it, he wasn't rude, but he wasn't useful. He lost money on the return pretending that he received less- and he got an extra tip. Desert wasn't offered. It felt like very cheap low vibe ambient. I wouldn't stay inside again. Maybe a pick up order- as the...
Read moreDelicious! My partner and i had dinner here on Valentine’s Day, and we decided to spring for the two-person holiday special (veg pakora, bottle of red wine, garlic naan, dal makhani, paneer korma, and gulab jamun).
Both of our main courses were hot, creamy, and very flavourful. The spice scale seemed weighted toward the low end: my partner asked for a level 2 on her paneer korma (not spicy at all), and i asked for a level 3 or 4 on my dal (delightful extra flavour of dried red chili, but not especially spicy either). For those with a high tolerance and love of spicy food, my impression is that 5 would be a good and relatively safe level to aim for. :P
We asked for a side of pickle (achaar), which did turn out to be available, but we were surprised to see a $4 upcharge for it on our final bill. It was tasty, but given that a large jar of achaar costs less than $10 at an Indian grocer, i wouldn’t say this small portion was worth the extra cost.
The gulab jamun was a very small portion (only two pieces), but the taste more than made up for it. For my palette, it’s easy for cardamom to end up overwhelming all the other flavours in a dish, but the level of cardamom in the gulab jamun here was simply...
Read moreThe food here is fantastic, but unfortunately, the service was a mess.
From the moment we arrived, it was one issue after another. First, we wanted to order drinks, but the server informed us that their liquor license was still pending. This was not a big deal, but something that would have been nice to know upfront. Then, while ordering, my friend mentioned he had a nut allergy. The server misunderstood and thought he loved nuts, enthusiastically recommending nut-heavy dishes. Thankfully, we caught the miscommunication before placing our order. We had to explain to the server that “he will DIE if he eats nuts” in order for him to finally understand. I know that there was a language barrier here, but if you work in the restaurant industry you should probably know what the word “allergy” means.
During our meal, my husband asked for extra napkins—they never came. I also ordered a green tea, which was completely forgotten. Finally, when the bill arrived, they gave us the wrong one.
I understand that mistakes happen, but having this many mishaps in a single meal felt excessive. Thankfully, the food was so good that it made up for the subpar service. Next time, I’ll probably just...
