McKim Wonton Mein Saga

In a galaxy far, far away... It is period of noodle unrest. Rebellious restaurants, striking from different places, have lay claim to the best wonton noodles in town. That's right, its epic and legendary. In fact, it's a saga, in the form of McKim Wonton Mein Saga. When it comes to wonton houses, you have the "good" with Nancy Wonton House, McNoodle and Ho Yuen Kee. Then you have the "bad" with On On Wonton House, Hon's and Penny. For wonton supremacy, we see the pure all-shrimp versions vs. the evil pork wontons. Yes, some people are drawn to the dark side since they don't like shrimp. Fair enough. But personally, I'd prefer to chill with "The Force".

After helping out Costanza move some things and hook up his computer, we all headed out to a nearby galaxy, er... restaurant. McKim Wonton Mein Saga resides only a few blocks from his place and we decided to drive there. Yah, when it comes to intergalactic travel, you need to use a vessel! For way past 8:00pm, the place was hopping much like Mos Eisley's Cantina. Rather than aliens and space bandits, it was filled with hungry diners. We were lucky to snag the last large table in the house. I know we were there to try out the wonton noodles; but that wouldn't have filled us up, so we ended up getting the set dinner for 5 which includes choice of 5 dishes, a complimentary BBQ duo, daily soup, rice and dessert. For the kiddies, we got them Stir Fried Rice Noodle with Beef.

Due to our random ordering of dinner entrees mixed with noodles and congee, other than our daily soup, everything else arrived out of order. The first thing to arrive was the rice noodle (which suited us fine actually, kids needed to eat anyways). Generally, this dish scares a lot of people because it comes glistening like a teenage boy's forehead. You see, to keep the rice noodles from sticking to the wok, copious amounts of oil is needed. However, in this case, it wasn't too bad and the dish was pretty well executed. Noodles were soft while still retaining their original shape, beef was tender and there was just enough dark soy to give some colour and flavour.

Our complimentary BBQ dish consisted of BBQ Pork and BBQ Duck. Unfortunately, the pork was a little on the dry side even though there was a good amount of marbling. I guess it could be due to the end of the day? Moreover, it was a bit difficult to properly judge the BBQ duck since we got the wing piece. Usually, that is the driest, most stringy part of a BBQ duck. So I'll just leave it at that. Costanza's favourite dish by far is the "Say Gwei Dow", which Spicy Beans with Ground Pork, so it was a given he'd order it. This was pretty good with perfectly oil-blanched green beans with a spicy/savory mix of pork and dried shrimp.

To satisfy our vegetable quotient a bit more, albeit unhealthy ways of cooking it, we got the Eggplant Hot Pot. The eggplant was soft while not becoming mush in the sizzling hot pot. Once again, this is achieved by the dreaded oil-blanching. So evil; yet so good. "Luke, join me on the Dark Side!" Anyways, the sauce was a tad spicy and mostly sweet. It was great with rice, especially with the nice gloss from the grease. Once again, we have the Shrimp and Eggs. Yah, you see this every episode here on the Food Aventures. It's like that cursed Jar Jar Binks; you can't seem to get rid of him, unless we're talking about episode 4, 5 or 6. The good thing about this dish was the plethora of large crunchy shrimp and soft "just-cooked" eggs. The bad part was the copious amount of sodium. These were some salty eggs!

One dish we normally do not order when we go out is the Steamed Minced Pork with Salted Fish. This is traditionally found in home cooking at many Chinese households. This is a classic comfort dish that goes well with a large bowl of rice. However, this particular version was plain awful. We thought that this dish was akin to eating steamed wallpaper paste with some salt. I can't even begin to describe the texture of it. Is there such thing as no texture? If someone blindfolded and asked us what we were eating, I wouldn't have guessed it was meat of any sort. My guess is they got lazy and pureed the poor meat rather than hand mincing it with 2 cleavers. Thus, the lack of meat texture. I would've preferred to be frozen in carbonite than eat this dish again.

Luckily for us, the Tofu and Fish Hot Pot was very good, so we just ignored the last dish for the rest of the meal. Big, perfectly fried, flaky pieces of fish mingled with equally well-fried soft tofu in a garlicky sauce. The hot pot was plentiful in ingredients and tasty as well. As for the Preserved Egg and Salted Pork congee, it was pretty good. The congee itself was thick and only moderately seasoned. There was enough ingredients adequately fill most spoonfuls. Now, for the main event, the Wonton Noodles. The restaurant's claim to fame. On the surface, it looked pretty good and one sip of the soup, it tasted like it should. One bite into the decent-sized wonton revealed cold-water shrimp that exuded an essence of sesame oil. A chopstick full of noodles and... uh... hmm... not exactly what I was hoping for. The noodles lacked the "bite" we looked for in an al dente wonton noodle. Rather, the texture was more like a regular shrimp noodle (haw gee mein). Definitely not as good as Nancy Wonton House, McNoodle and Ho Yuen Kee. Not a bad bowl of wonton noodles; but I was hoping for more. It's like watching Hayden Christiansen in hopes for good acting... So the wonton noodles weren't bad per se; yet it didn't live up to the "saga". Most of the other food was spot-on, other than the steamed wallpaper paste, er... pork. So, it's probably worth another look or a "Return of the Blogger".

The Good:
- Reasonably priced unlike the budget for the prequels
- Large selection of various dishes much like the characters in The Empire Strikes Back

The Bad:
- Service is a bit slow like Jar Jar Binks
- Wonton noodles are average like Attack of the Clones (taking into account the place puts it into their name)

Maple Grill

Although there are plenty of restaurants that I haven't visited, there are times I frankly run out of ideas. Therefore, I turn to Vandelay, who happens to be a dictionary of restaurants in Vancouver and beyond. I posed the simple question: where should I have my next meal? He quickly sent a link to Maple Grill. Okay, that doesn't sound particularly exciting or special. Oh, how I shouldn't underestimate him. The place is a certified kosher establishment. That's a bit different isn't it? So what exactly is kosher you might ask. I have somewhat of an idea since I grew up in a Jewish neighbourhood and actually went to
Kaplan's by myself when I was young to have matzo ball soup. Yah, imagine the looks I got. A little Chinese kid walking into a Jewish deli and ordering matzo ball soup.

So back to the discussion about kosher. To be "kosher", a restaurant has to go through the trouble of ensuring all their food conforms to the Jewish religion. To further confuse things, some interpretations of kosher allows for dairy products if they come from a kosher cow. However, we did not see any dairy at the Maple Grill. Joining me tonight for this foray were Kim, Victoria and Karl. So when one hears the word kosher, there are thoughts of a deli with corned beef. However, at the Maple Grill, there is no corned beef to be found. Rather, the whole premise is to mesh kosher with modern cuisine.

We decided to share the Hummus and Baba Ganoush to start. Both were served with grilled whole wheat pita bread. The hummus was not bad retaining a bit of texture (not being over-blended). We felt that it was a touch bland and could've used more salt and a bit of lemon. However, I found the portion that came into contact with the roasted red pepper to be quite tasty. The baba ganoush was also quite decent with good bits of eggplant in a smooth base. Once again, a bit more flavour would've helped put this over the top. If that weren't enough for appies, we ordered 2 bowls of Matzo Ball soup to share. It was described in the menu as being a rich broth. Although the broth was alright, it was hardly rich. Maybe we were expecting more. The addition of dill provided a bit of uniqueness to the taste. As for the matzo balls themselves, I really liked the texture at first; yet as I got closer to the centre, it became a bit hard. I'm not expert in matzo ball soup; but for the ones I've had in the past, it was a bit softer.

As always, we decided to each have a different entree with different sides. With every entree, there is a choice of 2 sides from a selection of 8. With 4 of us, we ended up trying all of the 8 sides. Interestingly, the sides are refillable, if need be. Trying to eat a bit healthier, I went for the Maple Salmon with an orange maple glaze. Before anyone could call it, I claimed the Saffron Risotto. The Steamed Seasonal Veggies were offered to me by Victoria since we agreed that it would look better in the picture. Great minds thing alike! We all felt that the salmon was executed perfectly. Fresh and just barely cooked, there was the right amount of sweetness from the marinade for flavour. As for the risotto, it serves me right for hogging it. It was not very good. I realize the absence of Parmesan hurt the overall texture and flavour; but with that being said, the texture was quite mushy. The steamed veggies were fresh, I wish that they would've been steamed for a shorter period of time as the beans were lacking crunch.

Victoria wasn't all that hungry and was hoping to get something light, so she chose the most expensive item on the menu being the Lamb Chops. Go figure. Now, as for the lamb, we all thought it executed quite well. The meat was tender, not overcooked and had good charring. For her sides, she went for the Israeli Salad and Basmati & Wild Rice. We all felt the best side hands down was the Israeli salad. It was fresh, vibrant and crisp. Very refreshing. The rice, well, it was rice, at least it wasn't soggy. Karl had the Türkei Schnitzel. It was fried up quite crispy and had a nice colour. We only wish that it was more aggressively seasoned or at least have a lemon wedge provided on the plate. Interestingly, there was a Szechuan Stir Fry as one of the side choices which Karl selected. Too bad it wasn't really Szechuan. If there was more spice it could've passed as such. His other side, the Garlic Mashed Potatoes, were alright; but there was a lack of garlic flavour.

Kim had the Mezurashii Ahi Tuna and I personally liked the presentation. It was seared with a honey soy glaze (which I really didn't taste) and topped with a fruit salsa and black sesame seeds. The tuna itself was seared perfect with a beautiful rare centre. As for his sides, the Rosemary Potatoes were okay, they could've been a bit more crisp. The Roasted Red Peppers were pretty good being sweet and slightly smoky. At the end, we shared a Poppyseed Ring with soy ice cream. I thought it was pretty good being soft and hot from the oven. Our meal at the Maple Grill was mostly decent with perfectly executed proteins. However, most of the sides need a bit of work. Furthermore, more aggressive seasoning would bring most of the food to life. I personally believe that with a few tweaks, the Maple Grill has potential and fills a niche.

The Good:
- Well-executed proteins
- Upscale decor
- Good service

The Bad:
- Some items are pricey (but understandable when dealing with certified kosher products)
- Sides need some work
- More seasoning would go long way

East No 1 Seafood

*Restaurant is closed*

Finally getting over the stomach flu, I decided that eating out was necessary. Well, eating is important for a restaurant-based food blog! Luckily I keep a nice buffer of posts that come in handy when I'm ill and cannot eat! Well, that really didn't stop me from eating at Codfather's and McD's (twice!) since I figured that since it would come out anyways. I refuse to let the stomach flu rain on my parade! Today, I took full advantage of Rich Guy being around. You see, he's always game to be a dining partner. You think I eat out a lot... He never cooks. Therefore, he probably eats out more than me. Imagine that... We ended up meeting at East #1 Seafood Restaurant for Dim Sum this morning. We really didn't want to head anywhere with a lot of traffic, so we ended up picking a place located in the ever-so-busy parking lot of T&T. Go figure. I decided to avoid the frustration and parked right on Renfrew. Believe me, once you enter that parking lot, you'll be stuck there for a while as people attempt to park in the extremely narrow spots. And when I say narrow, let's just say that it's enough for a car, but not for you to get out.

The one thing you'll notice at East #1 is that they still employ the traditional Dim Sum cart. For some people, this is very important. For me, I'm a bit indifferent. Yes, it's neat to see your food before you order it; but I find that the food deteriorates as it circles the entire restaurant. And... it always seems to happen to me, the shrimp dumplings sell out at the table just before me every time. Scratch that, people run up to the cart, raid it of everything they want and then I get the scraps. Fortunately for us, we did get the Shrimp Dumplings before they sold out. Meh... They were disappointing. The dumpling skin was gummy and overcooked. Same with the shrimp. It was a bit hard and not crunchy at all.

Although the Sui Mai looked good and contained a good amount of shrimp, we thought it was also overcooked. The pork was too chewy and a bit bland. The next dish was a bit surprising. Very few restaurants serve Stir Fried Silver Needle Noodles anymore. Definitely an ol' school Dim Sum dish. Essentially hand-rolled noodles made of rice flour, these are known for their chewiness. These ones didn't disappoint and as you can see, lots of shrimp too. Where the shrimp dumplings failed, the Scallop and Shrimp Dumpling were better. The filling was perfectly cooked with crunchy shrimp and tender scallops. However, once again, the dumpling skin was gummy.

Alright, when I take pictures of soups, stews and congee, I try to take a spoonful of it to illustrate what you can't see. However, as I tried to spoon some ingredients for this picture, there was none. Actually there was, but they were in little bits. So essentially, there was really nothing in the Preserved Egg and Salted Pork Congee. To the trained eye, you will notice that the congee is prepared ol' skool or in a home-cooking way (for those who do it in that manner). What they did here was to put the egg and pork into the congee and cook the heck out of it. The result is a fairly tasty broth; but all of the ingredients have basically melted away. For me, in a restaurant, I'd like some ingredients to see and chew.

We found the Steamed Black Bean Spareribs quite oily. The meat itself wasn't too fatty; but for some reason or another, the "sauce" on the bottom of the plate was mostly oil. I know that oil is a given in this dish; but there was just too much of it. Athough, we did like the garlicky flavour and the meat did have a slightly chewy texture. Looking like it just lost a bar fight, the Beef Rice Noodle Roll was aesthetically poor-looking. Either the Dim Sum chef rolling these was careless or s/he thought that a half dressed beef noodle roll would look sexier. Yah, that's a lot of meat showing, definitely centerfold material... Well, it was a whole lot better to eat than to look at. The rice noodle was soft and there was plenty of tender meat filling.

I gotta say, this was one interesting session of Dim Sum. First, we had the ol' skool Dim Sum carts, that are a dying breed. Second, the Dim Sum itself was plenty ol' skool too in it's presentation, preparation and selection. Rich Guy and I were not really all that impressed with the meal as a whole. Much better Dim Sum could be had just across the street at Bing Sheng. However, I must admit that the pricing here is very reasonable and the portions are large. Judging from the clientele, I think the ol' skool theme is consistent with them as well.

The Good:
- Cheap
- Large portions

The Bad:
- Dim Sum is ol' skool, not carefully prepared or good either
- Lack of servers

Codfather's

*Restaurant is now closed*

So here I am stricken with the stomach flu, which is probably my worst nightmare. Not only am I limited by the types of food I can eat, it comes out shortly like a waterfall (sorry for the visual). Courageously, I dragged myself into work today knowing there was a washroom less than 20 feet away. I'm quite a determined person and something as trivial as a Gastroenteritis won't get me down. I thought of the last time I had the stomach flu and coincidentally, it was roughly a year ago. Undeterred, I defiantly had McD's, Viva Sue Pizza and Beard Papa's. Yes, I figured if it was coming out anyways, I'd eat the greasiest, crappiest and highest caloric food out there. Of course, that came at a price and I will spare you the details. Today for lunch, I convinced Pomegranate that we should go for fish 'n chips. Yes, that's right. Fried, greasy and dipped into tartar sauce, this was my defiance in full effect. I will take this stomach flu head on and show who's boss!

We made our way to Codfather's out in Burquitlam. For a fleeting moment, I considered the AYCE fish 'n chips with bottomless pop... Alas, I am defiant, not crazy! Rather, we both went for the lunch special which consisted of a bowl of Seafood Chowder and 1 piece Cod 'n Chips. We tacked on a side of Halibut for good measure. Ah yes, nothing like a bowl of creamy, fatty seafood chowder for the stomach ailments. I'm sure if my stomach could talk, it would be asking #$O#E$(#U I'm doing? Well, the chowder was indeed creamy and full of scallops and fish. I didn't detect any clams or clam flavour (possibly there weren't any clams or very few?). That would probably be my only complaint, a lack of seafood flavour; but otherwise a solid seafood chowder.

Okay, we were expecting one piece cod and halibut respectively; but when the platter arrived, we were completely shocked at the portion. Look at it. Either they don't know how to count or the owner was extremely generous. My theory is that he noticed my camera and gave us more? However, I could be totally wrong. Whatever the case, the fish was flaky and fresh with a very light batter. I wouldn't say it was devoid of grease (since it is deep fried), but it wasn't too greasy. The fries were pretty good being crispy while still maintaining the qualities of a potato. We weren't that enthused with the tartar sauce though. It was a bit bland and a bit more zing was in order. But other than that, it was a pretty satisfying meal of fish 'n chips.

The Good:
- Light batter
- Fresh fish
- Friendly service

The Bad:
- Other than the specials, regular prices are a bit high
- Tartar is a bit bland

Kyung Bok Palace

*Restaurant is closed*

With Wednesday hockey at Brit on hold until after the Olympics, Polka King and I got our mid-week hockey fix at Richmond Ice tonight. I used to be a regular on Thursday nights here until my son was born. Of course, playing Thursday hockey was not an option when other commitments take precedent. However, when I was asked out of the blue last week to play goal in Richmond, I jumped at the chance. Hey, I haven't seen these guys in nearly 5 years and I really needed the exercise. However, in my twisted world, the most important thing was that now I could take advantage of the late night eats in Richmond! Yes, we've exhausted a fair bit of the late night eats in Vancouver already... Time to move on.

So honestly, where to eat after hockey? There are the usual Hong Kong-style cafes and such. Hey, how about that Korean restaurant right beside #9? I was curious about it the last time I spotted it and with Polka King on board, we headed over to Lansdowne Centre. Gosh, the place was quite busy for a Thursday midnight. Turns out the good people from Samsung had taken up a good part of the restaurant. They are here for the Olympics and by the sounds of their chatter, they were also here for the booze! They seem to know how to party it up!

At first glance, the menu seemed quite consistent with any other Korean restaurant except for 2 things. First, there was an AYCE late night BBQ. Uh... No. Second, there was this special for $19.95. Initially, we were a bit confused. It stated we could pick any 5 items for $19.95. Wait a minute, 5 dishes? That seemed like an incredible value. This menu is apparently available for lunch and late night after 9:00pm. We weren't all that hungry; yet, the deal seemed just too good to pass up.

As per usual, we got the complimentary Banchan prior to receiving our dishes. It consisted of Kimchi, Stewed Potatoes and Marinated Bean Sprouts. Of the 3, the potatoes were a definite miss. They were way too soft and practically falling apart. Not aesthetically pleasing to look at or to put in our mouths. We got the Bibimbap to start and it certainly looked pretty good. Sure, I would've preferred the Dolset Bibimbap but again, for $19.95, I wasn't complaining. The toppings were plentiful; however, the rice was quite mushy. At the very least, it was served hot, not stone-cold like the one from Norboo.

Although the Seafood Pancake was not served on the usual cast iron plate, it was texturally quite nice being fluffy in the middle a bit crispy on the outside. In fact, without the plate, it turned out to be less oily. In terms of seafood, I didn't notice much other than the imitation crab meat. So it was a decent pancake without seafood. At first, when we saw the 5 items for $19.95, we figured that the dishes would be smaller versions of regular-sized portions. The Japchae certainly fit that description being quite small. Hey, I don't blame them for not giving really large sizes considering the price. But my point is that most of the dishes are pretty decent in portion size, which is a good thing. As for the Japchae itself, it was alright, the noodles were a bit softer than we would've liked. Furthermore, it was a bit bland. Although it did have a nice sesame oil aroma. Our plate of Bulgogi was probably the most disappointing dish. The meat was tasteless and quite chewy. Our last dish was the Pork Bone soup. I really liked the large meaty pieces of pork bone. The broth was slightly spicy and a bit sweet. A nice dusting of perilla seeds added aromatics to the soup.

We barely finished all the food we were presented with. The 5 dishes for $19.95 is a very good value. Okay, the good deal does come with compromises. The food itself was pretty average. It doesn't stack up to the really good Korean restaurants such as Hanwoori and Insadong. However, for a late night meal, you can't really beat this offer. Moreover, the service was actually quite friendly, albeit sparse. In terms of the regular menu, I wouldn't pay the regular prices for the food though.

The Good:
- Late night menu is dirt cheap
- Service is actually alright
- Spacious dining room

The Bad:
- Average food
- Food took a bit long to arrive

Tandoori Kona

Alright, you might be wondering why the heck I was in Richmond of all places. Yes, I have a hate-hate relationship with this place; but one cannot deny the gastronomical delights that lay within its borders. It's almost like I have to come here despite the traffic, clueless drivers and utter chaos (otherwise known as #3 Road). Now, you'll be even more surprised that I didn't come here for the Chinese food today. I was here to eat Indian food. Wait, lemme get this straight... You came all the way to Richmond for Indian food??? Don't you have really good Indian food in the Surrey/North Delta area? Yes, that is right. It's almost as crazy as trying to find good Chinese food out in Chilliwack. However, there is this place right next to Continental Restaurant that succeeds in a sea of Chinese establishments.

Actually, I was tipped off nearly a year ago in my Mirch Masala post about Tandoori Kona. Yah, it has taken me this long to finally fulfill my promise to try it. Hey, there are a lot of restaurants in different places! Everything in due time... The first thing that I noticed when I walked in the door was the daily special. For only $7.99, you could get Butter Chicken, Eggplant & Potato Curry and Chickpea Curry with Rice, Naan, Salad and Raita. That sounded too good for me to pass up. However, being a bit curious about the "tandoori" part of the name, I wanted to try it. I wasn't in the mood for Tandoori Chicken since the bones would just slow down my eating. I went for the next best thing in an order of Chicken Tikka which is essentially boneless tandoori chicken on a hot plate. I know it's not exactly the same; but close enough for my purposes.

One look at the lunch special and some people might be wondering where the food is. Not to worry, once you're done with the rice and naan, you'll be plenty full. There is no need for too much sauce, it goes a long way. Much like pasta, it's mostly noodles with just a bit of sauce. Despite being a bit lukewarm, I did like the Butter Chicken, it was creamy and had a nice balance between sweet and tart without being salty. The modest amount of chicken was moist and tender. Both the eggplant and chickpea curries were quite mild and didn't really leave an impression. I really liked the naan. Soft, warm and just a bit blistered, this is the texture I look for when it comes to naan.

When it came to the Chicken Tikka, it looked strange. Now for people who have had this dish before, as you can see, it doesn't resemble it whatsoever. Rather, I think I got an order of Chicken Tikka Masala since it was served with a side of spicy butter chicken sauce. I didn't have time to send it back, so I ended up eating it. It was quite good, with big chunks of tender white meat. However, I would've preferred that they had actually prepared the chicken with some charring. But I guess they don't prepare it that way here. Dipped into the sauce, I ended up with a spicier, more flavourful version of the butter chicken that I had in the special. Overall, I thought the food was pretty decent, especially for being in Richmond. Prices are very reasonable and service is friendly in a clean environment.

The Good:
- Reasonably priced
- Solid food
- Clean

The Bad:
- Lunch special was a bit lukewarm (probably all ready to go for lunch crowd)

Baba Sweets & Shivalik Restaurant

Finally, after a self-imposed ban on Indian food for a little while, I've finally decided to go back to the well. Yes, it is a pretty deep well at that. There are so many choices for Indian food out here along the Scott Road corridor. Don't get me wrong, I love Indian food and I was looking forward to eating it again. Joining me today were L-Pete and Pomegranate, which is a good thing since there would be more variety. Truth be told, I made sure there was variety... I'm so lucky people put up with my antics. Our destination today was Baba Sweets. If I am not mistakened, there is another location on 6th in Burnaby.

When we arrived, there was only a table of high school students. I guess the places doesn't do a lot of lunch business? The reason I mention this is because our food actually took a decent amount of time to prepare. However, that may not necessarily be a bad thing since rushing anything is generally not a good idea. We were originally planning on ordering a la carte off the regular menu; but at the last minute, we noticed their lunch specials. The significance of the specials is that they all include rice and naan. Normally, you'd need to add both naan and rice for an additional cost. Pomegranate decided to add a
couple of Beef Samosas as an appy, apparently not satisfied with his lunch combo. Personally, I thought it would be too much food; but hey, I'm not gonna stop him. He's ordering more food for me to try!

I thought that the samosas were only an average value since there are many more other places around that charge less than $1.00 per item. The samosas themselves were good and bad. The nicely fried exterior was good, the gritty and dry beef filling was bad. I'd like to try the vegetarian one next time. L-Pete went for the ever popular Butter Chicken. If you can see in the picture, the sauce is quite oily. I realize that butter chicken requires quite a bit of ghee, but this was greasy, not smooth. Moreover, the flavour (to me at least) seemed slightly off. Rather than the rich sweetness (and slight tartness from the tomato) that is normally associated with butter chicken, this one was almost like a regular curry.

On the other hand, I did like my Lamb Curry. It had a decent amount of spice and tasted like a rich curry should (as in multi-dimensional flavours). Moreover, the lamb was tender and fairly plentiful. Pomegranate had the Chicken Curry and although it seemed like the same sauce, this one was a bit sweeter and less spicy. Either my taste buds were deceiving me or the different meat made a difference in the flavour. Believe it or not, the best part of the meal was the Naan. It was hot, soft and fluffy. The food here ain't gonna win any awards and to me it was a bit average. But, it was alright and a fairly good value when having the lunch special.

The Good:
- Fluffy Naan
- Friendly service from the only front-of-the-house staff member
- Large dining area

The Bad:
- Food is on the average side of things
- Worn out interior
