Pasand - Cold Food, Inauthentic Preparation, Poor Service
I have dined at this restaurant twice since it opened. My first experience was not very pleasant; however, I wanted to give the restaurant a chance as they had just opened, had new management, and were trying to get their bearings. The second experience (3 weeks later) wasn't any better. The wait staff was not very familiar with the menu (forgivable, as she did rush back to the kitchen to get answers to my questions). What I found inexcusable was the fact that my entree was LUKEWARM and the nan bread was COLD. The food was reheated for me (ugh) after I pointed this out. Also, the entree (North-Indian) did not taste anything like it was supposed to. I recommend the chef invest in some North-Indian cookbooks. Another thing that bothered me was that the owner was chatting (loudly) with someone at the table next to mine, and offered him a 10% discount so he would return to the restaurant. While not an uncommon practice, I suggest the next time he extends discounts, he do it discreetly, so customers like me don't feel left out. They don't accept AMEX, or give you any kind or plastic-ware if you're doing takeout. I will not be visiting Pasand again, which is sad because I really liked Sizzling India.
