Mr. India Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in Hội An

When we arrived at the restaurant we were the only customers. The staff was lying on the booth seats and watching videos on their phones. That’s not a huge deal, but as we ate they still blasted their videos, which didn’t create a very nice atmosphere for us.

The waiter wasn’t especially friendly either, didn’t ask us how the food was, or anything like that. That, on top of the way the place was decorated would not make me want to come here again… it’s really plain and you can tell that they just picked one bench and table they liked and put that all over the place… no decorations, no design… it just felt like the owner didn’t care how it looked.

Also, I feel like it should’ve said somewhere on the menu, that rice isn’t included with the dishes?? The waiter didn’t tell us that either, so we were pretty perplexed when our dishes came without rice. The food was good though, and they had lots of vegetarian dishes.

The worst part for me however was the bathroom. The toilets were insanely dirty, one had splatters all over the toilet seat and lid, probably from leftovers they dumped in there. It looked like the whole area hadn’t been cleaned in the longest time. There was no toilet paper and no towels, just an old dirty soap…

Clearly, the owner does not have their customers feeling comfortable and welcome in mind. Definitely...

When I say I want Indian food, this is what I mean! We have had so much bad Indian food over the past few years in different countries--bland, insipid, overpriced. But Mr. India was really fantastic! We ordered quite a few small plates and one main course, and everything was delicious and flavorful from beginning to end. We ordered our favorite butter chicken and it was so fragrant and tasty that I was able to remember why I loved it in the first place. We also ordered some dishes that were new to us like the masala peanuts and the panipuri and those were also very beautifully presented and wonderfully spiced. At the end, we had to order two cups of masala tea to wash it all down. The tea was perfect, too: hot, sweet, and spicy.

We got the chance to talk briefly with the chef after and found out he's trained in India and then worked in Qatar and Dubai, so he really knows his stuff and he is proud of his good food. I wish I could find Indian food like this where we live. Definitely happy that we stopped here because this meal will be a good memory for us for...
