Raagini — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

I used to LOVE this place. I would go with my friend regularly to eat there to the point where i became recognized by the staff. I would always get the Tandoori Grill and garlic naan. Last time I went was 7 months ago. Today my girlfriend picked up some food and it was OUTRAGEOUS! $20.50 for this small portion of the Tandoori Mix Grill! when I would go eat at the restaurant they would give double of this! Then we ate it and boy was I embarrassed for hyping this place up to my girlfriend. The sausage was soggy and flavorless, the chicken was bland, this brown thing in the picture i dont even know what it is was crazy tough and just straight up nasty. I had never even seen that meat served before when I've ordered it in the past. There was NO FISH and literally 1 shrimp, when shrimp isn't even part of the mix grill dish! The naan was the only good thing. The green sauce is flavorless and it used to be my favorite! I am so upset about the downfall of this restaurant, it used to be my favorite indian restaurant. I'm so disappointed and embarrassed I even let my girlfriend eat it. In total it was $35 for nothing and its going to take a miracle for me to ever eat here again. You could not pay me to eat here again. Also in the picture lies the mystery meat, lets see who can identify this nasty mess? Leave a comment. Also update The response from the owner is a ridiculous accusation. I'm my own person and have written many reviews before. I even posted a picture of the "food". Please explain to me what that meat is, instead of making crazy assumptions that I'm some fake...

Customer service is AWFUL and food quality has seriously declined since we started ordering a few years ago. We ordered about $130 worth of food for my dad’s bday, which is also Valentine’s Day. When we picked up the food it was all packaged in a big, full bag so I couldn’t go through it to make sure that everything was there. Got home to find out that our Lamb Korma was missing. When I called to let them know, the guy on the phone told me that it was there. After assuring him that it definitely was not, he told me that they could not deliver the missing food. When I asked for a refund, he said that they couldn’t process a refund without us coming back with the physical card. After some back and forth, I told them we would try to just pick up the missing dish later since we had to return anyway. It was getting late so we ate first, and the food was TERRIBLE. We decided that we didn’t want the Lamb, so I called to let them know and ask again if they could issue a refund. The man we spoke to was rude, unhelpful, and rushed me off the phone. He called back about a half hour later stating that he had spoken to the owner and asked for a phone number so that they could Zelle us the refund instead of making us come back in person. I provided the number— one week later we still have not received a refund and cannot get through when we try to call. I live an hour away and was only visiting for the night or I would go in person to raise Hell. Don’t know what changed at this place (the food used to be good besides the terrible naan) but I Definitely would NOT...
