1 /5 Manoj Pawar: Absolutely Disappointed – Worst Indian Food Experience in the Bay Area
I usually don’t write negative reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience here. Having lived in the Bay Area for over a decade, I’ve been lucky to try some truly excellent Indian restaurants – which made this experience all the more shocking.
We ordered a variety of dishes for pickup: Malai Chicken, Tandoori Chicken, Butter Chicken, Goat Curry, and Tandoori Roti. To be blunt, not a single item was even remotely decent. Even the roti was dry, rubbery, and borderline inedible – something that’s usually hard to get wrong.
But the Butter Chicken really stood out – for all the wrong reasons. It was watery, bland, and lacked any of the rich, creamy flavor you’d expect. The Malai and Tandoori Chicken were dry and overcooked, and the Goat Curry was greasy with barely any flavor.
When I went to pick up the food, there was only one occupied table in the restaurant – something that now makes complete sense in hindsight.
What’s truly baffling is how this place has 500+ reviews with a 4.5-star rating. I honestly cannot reconcile my experience with those numbers. Either the quality has dropped dramatically, or I was extremely unlucky – Even a single star for this place is too much.
Save your money and appetite. With so many great Indian spots in the Bay Area, this place is simply not worth your time.
