1 /5 Erin Ward: Most non-Indian food I’ve ever had in my life. The dishes do not come with rice, which we didn’t figure out until we’d arrived to pick it up so we had to wait, cooling down the food. The biggest problem is that everything either had no flavor, or it was unbearably sweet. The vegetable samosas tasted like they’d taken frozen vegetables out of a can and put it in the samosa. No spice, no flavor. The papadums and rice were fine. Garlic naan was fine, albeit a bit chewy. But oh god. The saag paneer was so sweet, it was all you could focus on. It’s supposed to be savory and spinachy. The paneer tikka masala tasted like sweet tomato paste. Vegetable korma sometimes has sweetness because of the coconut milk, but it’s supposed to have SPICE and FLAVOR too. This korma just tasted sweet. Where’s the cumin? Where’s the turmeric? Where’s the SPICE? Not being asked a spice level when ordering should’ve clued us in. For a place literally called the SPICE eaters, it was like candy on a plate. Also, the paneer tikka masala and the green sauce they provided were practically radioactive in color. I have no idea how they made it so green or so red. See the attached photo. I genuinely have no idea how this place has such a high rating. A waste of 40 pounds.
