cooks last profession- butcher, Wednesday, 31 October 2007

Written by FREEBIRD   -  View all my reviews  - Top 500 Reviewer

thats what the cook must have been before he came here. have been there twice( not because i liked it , cos not too many options otherwise)
each item that have eaten is sad, the gravyys are like oil spill, u can literally bottle the oil and sell it back , the nans ( indian bread) are like pahysical training for the gums.

the only attraction is the poor girl dancing every half hour on some lousy unknown indian song. this can also be enjoyed only the first time as she keeps repeating the same steps for ever. as of now i think even i could do a couple of them myself...ha

to top it up check the surds ( sikhs...with the beard and turbun)at the lobby entrance . these chaps are also fakes not really sikhs.
do we call that theier trade secret.....

the lousiest experience in a restaurant in Dalian, Friday, 15 June 2007

Written by captah   -  View all my reviews  - Top 500 Reviewer

Unfortunately there are no negative marks, if there were this restaurant deserves a round (-) 1000,000

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Had the lousiest experience ever in a restaurant in China and that too an Indian one in Dalian. Its on the 5th floor of Zhongshan Hotel..bad food lousy service, they dont even have a dal there except the locally available green one, chipped a tooth on their chicken tikka and to top it all they tried to rip me off on the bill....small print anounces.. ''prices raised''.. different from menu and then they added on over 100 RMB for dishes that were not ordered nor served..

BEWARE...eat at your risk....

Indian restaurant, Monday, 07 May 2007

Written by awm   -  View all my reviews  - Top 50 Reviewer

This restaurant has been reviewed previously but informally in the Food section of Forum.
Originally it had a good write-up and then was much criticised. I said I would return to eat there and I did so last night. As I entered I was deafened by VERY loud taped music and a dancer on stage. I asked for and got a table as far away from the stage as possible! My entrance, however, signalled the end of the live entertainment and the large TV display then pumped out Indian music and dance videos, which were much quieter!
I ate alone but there was one other table of about 4 couples already in the restaurant. No one else came in before I left at about 9 pm. The decor is average up-market Indian but with so few people it seemed dead. As I only eat a little, I ordered popadums; butter nan bread; and their special mutton curry. I had banana lassi (yoghurt) to drink. I noticed that there were three wines on each table but the ancestry was unknown to me, so I declined!
The popadums (3 for 12 RMB) soon arrived - as nibbles. But there was no chutney tray, so I ate them dry. They were nice and spicy, but one of them was slightly burnt on one side. I think that this was due to the fact that in the pile of them pre-prepared in the kitchen, that one had been on top of the pile for some time and had dried out. Within about 10 minutes my nan arrived, quickly followed by the dish of mutton curry. The butter nan was slightly oily (butter?)and of the flakey variety; the dish of curry was excellent in texture, sauced at medium hot and of sufficient portion for me. The lassi drink was not cold. I really prefer it served with ice, but couldn't be bothered to ask for any. My only comment here is that the bill came to 80 RMB, so the price IS high. My service was excellent.
It is much more interesting in a restaurant, if you are on your own, to "people watch". The other table had (?) four couples: Western guys with Chinese gals and a Chinese guy, whose English was so good that he must have been Chinese-American. Their service (I felt) was very poor. Although we were the only 2 tables being served in the place, the waitress standing around failed to notice their empty water glasses that needed refilling; the Chinese girls were only drinking water. The party were already eating their meal when I arrived, but dishes of food were still arriving at their table (usually one at a time) when I left. The last arrivals were not being touched at all and the Chinese guy and one gal had started to smoke. Interestingly, half way through their meal 2 bowls of "mifan" and a plate of noodles were served. The Chinese girls fell on them as though they were starving. Is this a cultural observation about the Chinese not being prepared/adventurous to eat other country's dishes? One of the guys was quite dismissive about some of the food he was eating, so I gather their night was not 100% successful - as a gastronomic experience.
The ratings I have given are for my meal. So there are caveats.
