The mindset of a fast food joint when single issue paper napkins, tea cup size plastic cups for drinks, no dinner knives etc. become the norm for what passes as service. Food is dumped at the edge of the table. Fresh naan is interleaved with "slightly aged" naan. The bill payment is solicited before dessert can be finished. Will this be the norm or will management conduct some elementary training for the staff? The Frontier Chicken became too dry halfway through the meal. Nobody bothered to check that the fixins' needed replenishment. The Patthar Ka Gosht was delightful owing to careful trimming of the meat and patient grilling (well done for South Asian palates and no trace of medium rare in any of the slices). The Goat Biryani was flavorful but it did not manifest the "dum" signature. No complaints because it is tough to serve it consistently throughout the day in batches. The "dum" is lost and so is the art of plating it. Let's hope that the restaurant gets chances to serve it the traditional way at large festive occasions. Will you hold your "dum" for that opportunity?
