I know less than nothing about Indian food and perhaps this place is like the many cookie cutter chineseish restaurants but I did look at the other tables around me. The bowls of rice and the baskets of naan were easy to identify but the main dishes all appeared to be homogeneous globs of unidentifiable contents in various shades of orangeish or reddish brown. I was told some were chicken, some were lamb, some were seafood and some were vegetarian but they all looked the same and appeared to have been prepared sometime in the last week or two. To those who enjoy quality Indian food can you ever tell what you are being served by looking at the ingredients as you can with fresh Thai or Vietnamese dishes or does it always appear to be an overcooked amorphous blob of who knows what?

How’s the rat population in the neighborhood?
