India Kitchen Hartford, CT, Manchester

Don't go if you are a clean freak; nuf said. Wait staff is very nice, food is better than average. Price of buffet is very reasonable.

We had been to India Kitchen once before and had horrible service. We had waited an extraordinary amount of time for our dinner and then the garlic naan was forgotten. We had searched out the waiter twice to remind him. We finished our dinner and still no garlic naan. When the check was dropped at our table, we complained about not getting our garlic naan. The waiter said he would get an order for us to go. The next day, we took out our leftovers and it turned out the naan was just plain naan. We did not go back for a couple years- til this time. We decided maybe the poor service had been a fluke and we went back to India Kitchen 2 evenings ago. We were seated in a side room (not main dining room). We selected an appetizer and waited to ask about the beer selection. We waited and waited. Twenty minutes passed and finally I got up and went to the take out area. I asked to be waited on. About 5 minutes later a waitress came and we asked her about the beer selection. She said she didn't know and would go ask. (Oh no!) She did not come back and had not taken our appetizer order. I sought out someone again. Finally a waiter came over and filled us in on our beer selection. We tried to give him our appetizer order but he said he would send over the waitress. We ordered samosas, which the menu said would come with 2 dipping sauces. The samosas were delivered with no dipping sauces. So I went back over to the take out area and requested these. By the time we got the sauces, our samosas were cold. You can guess from here how long it took to get our dinner after all of this- and once agin, the naan was forgotten, so we needed to track down our waitress again. It is baffling that a restaurant would not understand that customers eat the naan along with the dinner, not after the dinner. Each time we waited on sauces or naan, our food cooled off. I must say that India Kitchen's food is very good, but clearly one must order takeout or starve at a table. Why a Groupon for dine-in only was offered is beyond me. Certainly if the restaurant was encouraging dine-in service, they had never learned how to cater to dine-in customers. We will never go back to this restaurant, which is a pity since the quality of the food was great.

Very nice and delicious.

Taste has improved a lot when compared to how it was prior to 6 months. I would recommend that it's worth giving a try...
