My friend and I just happened to be passing by this place when we decided the easily accessible parking lot would be a great place to stop to check her daughters diaper. We had just been on the road for over 2 hours. She said she was hungry so we decided to check out the place.
You know how some of the best food often comes from little places in tiny towns that are largely unknown? This is exactly what this place is all about! Located on a side road next to Highway 164, this restaurant looks small, unassuming, and because we were there in the middle of a Sunday afternoon, it also looked unpopular. More accurately, there wasn't a single vehicle there and when we went inside, we were the only customers (more came in just before we left though). It looked clean, no trash in the parking lot, shiny windows, all the hallmarks of a well kept establishment. Inside turned out to be very clean as well. We were greeted by a kind man who seated us and gave us menus. Then he brought us a basket of chips, a bowl of salsa (which was flavorful but mild enough for anyone, even those who are sensitive to spiciness), and two cups of water. He also offered to get us a high chair for the little one. We thanked him but declined because she hates high chairs and does really well just sitting in the booth. They have booths, tables with pull out chairs, and even an outdoor seating area in the back.
Anyway, I wasn't feeling great, probably because I had eaten too much spicy food over the last couple days, so I just got French fries. They were hot, fresh, and perfect in every way! I also got a bottle of apple flavored soda, which was awesome!The dish my friend got was something I can neither pronounce nor spell, but it was $19.99 (and you definitely get your money's worth in both portions AND quality) and consisted of many ingredients. I don't remember all but I know chicken, various peppers, fried potatoes, shrimp and cilantro were among them. On a separate plate, she also received beans, Mexican rice and tortillas. In my accompanying pics, you'll see the main plate arrived on a hollowed out stand, inside of which was a burner. It's like a candle but much hotter to keep the food hot the entire time. I know it has a name but I forgot what it is because the last time I knew the name was about 27 years ago. Lol! 🤣😂
The man who served us was super friendly and was very kind to the little one, helping to make her experience just as delightful as ours. As toddlers do, she was making quite the mess with salsa. The gentleman got us extra napkins and even wiped part of the table that got messy and collected the little bit of garbage we created up to that point, and he did it without complaint. We didn't order from it, but they also have a kids menu. We just fed her from our own food as there was more than enough of it.
When I told him I was going to take a few pics for a Google review, he asked what that was. I explained it and told him their restaurant has a 4.7 star overall rating at the moment. We checked before going in. I explained that I was going give them 5 stars and told him why- great food, great service. He then smiled, genuinely appreciative, and explained his desire to provide great customer service. It clearly made him feel good to hear that he's doing a great job. I work customer service too so I know how great it feels to hear such things.
This restaurant is over an hour away from home but I fully intend to return sometime so I can try more of their actual Mexican food, not just French fries, delicious though they were.
In summary, if you want quality Mexican/American food at moderate but extremely fair prices (most entrees are $10-13 and large portions), I cannot recommend this place enough! The atmosphere was relaxing, the staff was friendly and inviting, and the overall experience was just...
Read moreI agree with Peter whole heartily this place is a rip off and a month after Peters review they have done nothing to change their greedy ways Very disappointed in two meals we had. Mostly rice, sauce and,flatbread for $36.00 Plus the VERY SHARP Goat BONES some very small,some larger. Manager/owner asked us if we were happy with our meal,I pointed out that I had many,many bones and fat on my plate and less then two onces of meat. He never offered to make good with a few more onces of meat. I waited for him to do so to NO AVAIL . I then asked for a little more. I was ignored Later his wife came out to ask if we were happy with the meal I respectfully told her the same thing as I told her husband. She knotted her head,walked away and did nothng to make us ,first time customers happy. We waited another ten minutes to see if they would make good on a legit complaint , .They dd not , We left---hungry and disappointed ! Do not waste your time and money here.There are many good and fair priced Indian restaurants with in a short driving . distance.The Taj Mahal Hales Corners on 108th st. makes the best chicken Marsala I have ever had and all foods are served in generous portions.These owners among other things are pretty darn arrogant !! I feel I as if I were robbed. M.A.. Howard, ,Muskego.
IN RESPONSE TO YOU MR OWNER OF INDIAN GRILL ,YOU SAW MY PLATE AND ALL THE BONES AND FAT/GRISSLE. That should have been enough for you to simply add some more meat..There is only just so much hat can fit into those little bowels you mask what is really in those bowles wih all that sauce vou serve your food in. Your lack of verbal response and action at the time was insulting and the only contact that I want from you is for you to place one half of my bill back on...
Read moreMe and my girlfriend went to go pick up food after being given a recommendation from a friend; we ended up ordering the chicken tikka masala. The man who answered the phone upsold us saying that one order of food was not enough food for two people, I’d like to say we ordered 2 orders of the tikka masala but it seemed more like he ordered it for us. When I went in to get the food, I was fully intending on leaving a tip for my pickup order; however, the man who took my cash didn’t give me my change back and I just kinda stood there awkwardly. I was waiting for him to open the cash register back up, but all he said was “thank you, thank you, thank you,” so I just decided to leave it be. I’m the type of person who eats anything because I truly don’t like the idea of wasting food/wasting money, but the chicken tikka masala tasted so bad. I tried to bear through it, but I honestly couldn’t. My girlfriend and I concluded that the food was the equivalent to cat food, the rice tasted like plastic/chemicals, and whatever drink we got that day was completely overpriced. Altogether, I’m sure people have had better experiences but mine was an utter...
