Seva

Decent Indian Food.   Nothing special, not worth going out of your way for.  The one thing that this place has going for it, are the VERY cheap prices, it is one of the cheapest Indian places I've had.

We waited about 10 minutes to get menu's after being seated and the manager took our order after waiting another 10 minutes.  They were very busy with take out as well as it being a packed restaurant, so they need more staff.  I asked the bus boy for the check at the end of the meal, since our waiter (the manager) was very busy.... Of course the bus boy never passed on our request and we waited another 10 minutes before i simply asked the manager for the check.  Frustrating.

The food was OK, and that's because i just love Indian food, but it was some of the worst Indian food I've ever had.  The Crab Cake Masala tasted like fake crab (should have expected that...), the chicken malai kabab was very tasty but i had a huge chunk of fat or grissel that was just nasty.  The chicken samosa, a first for me, was good, simple, nothing special.  The maleghotony soup was bland.

The entrees were also bland.  The shrimp korma was extremely overcooked, its almost like the chef does not understand that it really only takes 60 seconds to cook mini shrimp.  They left the tails on, which i never understood, i am supposed to dig my fingers into the sauce and rip off the ends of the shrimp???  The Shrimp tandoori was very overcooked and nearly burnt, terrible tasting.  The chicken Korma was boring.  The Korma sauce was very bland, not a good dish at all.

Overall the only reason i MIGHT go back or at least call in, would be the prices.  $12 for 3 courses is quit good.  They need more staff and a better chef thu!
