My wife and daughter waited about 45 minutes for their food, which isn't excusable, otherwise good when it all came. My grilled Tandoor Shrimp came in more like 15 minutes. The waiter was, believe it or not, gruff with us when I asked with a "-It's coming!!!". We'd possibly give them another try down the road someday, but only after they've had a chance to correct their mistakes. And from own experience, order the grilled dishes or the rest of your table will be waiting forever. And nobody is likely to brink more papadum crackers unless you ask for them while waiting 45 imnutes for your food, which is what I had to waive down the waitress to get them to do.

My advice to the management is to make sure you can serve your dishes in a more timely manner and that you have a bit more professionalism in your younger male servers. The restaurant was not even full on the night we came. And there were ample tables empty when we arrived. There's no excuse for making most of a table wait 45 minutes for their food!

Also, the atmosphere could easily be improved in an Indian restaurant with lower lighting in the dining area and a little Indian style music? Watching TV in an ethnic-food restaurant may be growing in popularity in America, but it's still kind of a dumb idea and I'm willing to bet if you took a vote on any given night with your customers, they'd wholeheartedly agree with me on this. People can watch what they prefer on TV at home, after all. What they can't get a home is an authentic Indian dining experience!

I liked some of the sparse Indian-themed artwork strewn across the walls, but if it were my place, I'd deck it out in a fuller fashion to suit the theme of the restaurant. Why not make the entire experience a special treat? Also, why not offer a larger version of every dish? I could have eaten 2 dished of what I received for what was on the plate!
