"August 2022. I visited this restaurant for lunch after reading the raving reviews. There was no buffet. We ordered some appetizers which were medium grade. We ordered a popular mutton dish( Kolapuri Sukka masala) . The gravy looked very pasty and old. There was barely 2 small cubes of meats which was covered in fat and tendons. What a disappointment that it cost $16.95. There was hardly any meat in it. The yogurt lassi and the red chutney sauce with the Dosa had a very bad sour taste to it. To end all this mess we ordered a Falooda. Their Falooda claimed to have kulfi, glass noodles, rose flavored milk and basil seeds. What I received was a glass of rose flavored milk with barely any noodles basil seeds. That Glass of flavored milk was $6.95. Mind you a whole gallon of milk these days cost about five dollars. There was no Kulfi in it and the milk also seemed to have separated like small curd floating cottage cheese. I am sure at one point this restaurant may have been good in all its glory. But right now the service, quality, professionalism has all gone down to the drain. The young man that was our server was very new. Obviously he did not receive enough training so we felt really bad for him. For every question or inquiry we had he had to go in the kitchen and ask the kitchen lady to provide an answer. He did not even know how to use the cash register. How irresponsible of the manager/owner to put somebody like that in the front. He was trying hard and seemed to be a kind young man. Our meal was about $25 per person. Not at all worth that price."
