This place is quite awful. Inexperienced staff and disorganized. They don't serve the rush hour crowd off the subway at all. Very little food is ready to take out during prime rush hour evening hours. I think they'll be gone very soon.
ReplyDeleteI got takeout one night and it was good. In the interest of time I got what was already prepared behind the counter and ended up with Chicken Tikka Masala & A Vegetable Curry with raita & pickles on the side. I also ordered Naan, which they prepared on the spot in their Tandoori oven.
ReplyDeleteBoth takes are interesting - I'm going to have to try it for myself and report back.
ReplyDeleteMy husband has gotten food from here twice... while I thought the flavors were good, I found the food really greasy/heavy.
ReplyDeleteKind of a bummer, especially since I miss Haddad's. :(
P.S. By the way, I love this site... keep up the great work! Wishing you lots of culinary goodness in 2011. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your nice words Nicole, I appreciate it!
