Place vs Price ????????????????????

I have come to this place anytime I craved good decent Indian Food for years.

Alas! apparently pandemic just made the downside of this resto much more visible to naked eyes.

I eat alot varian of Indian Food from native Indian Chef. And my last dining at this place just showed that I awesomely overpaid my Indian Food meals.

Indian Food in here tend to be quite pricey but as long as compensated with a good meal it's still okay

But, this place, is definitely aging long before covid, so with what I paid, with the price list, service in overall were totally in my opinion not worth re-visiting.

When you entered the location, you can see array of raw papandam being dried up in front of the resto, just like lower class warung kinda situation. The interior has always been the same kinda ambience just now clearly aging alot.

Basically clean but also clearly shabby.

Food:
Below below below expectations
I ordered:

????Cheese Garlic
too oily and can't taste the cheese.
I only ate half and asked for a takeaway and quiet surprised that they only wrap it in paper instead if giving it in box, i meant, come on.. i paid 37K +15 taxu0026serv and they couldn't be more generous in giving me a takeaway box that cost at most 3K ? ???? errr...

????????Vegetable Biryani
the spices were crumbled to smaller pieces and mixed with the rice and made the while chewing experience unbearable coz I had to bit them most of the time ans taste the bitterness then had the inconvenience of pulling it off my mouth which kinda hygienic.

????Palak Paneer
taste so so

????Masala Chai
the only thing that met my expectation

The green mint condiment was absolutely just green runny super watery yogurt, dem.. where were the old recipes that was super taste?!

Soft Indian music was played and mix with the loudness of the staff doing the video call at the corner. One of the waitress was kind always on standby and alert facing my direction, and for this I highly appreciate her effort.

So, honestly, money is tight nowadays, and I wish to spend money wisely so, the kept increased priced vs not appealing ambience + shabby vs what I experienced in overall, was a big disappoinment and never again return. Better try to find other alternatives

Fantastic quality India cuisine at an affordable price. Loved the curry, garlic-cheese naan, and biryani! The Martabak was an unexpected rare treat.

Getting vegetarian food was a challenge, so finally landed into our home side food u0026 had a great taste. Felt the same Indian taste. Maintained the spices and taste essence. Not too costly.

I very rarely write reviews, but given the high quality of food at this place, I want this restaurant to survive and for the chefs to keep their jobs.

That said, if this branch of the 'Gateway of India' chain cares to survive, then its staff need to seriously up their game.

We've literally just come back from an attempt to dine at this restaurant. But upon arrival, we were 'greeted' by the entire staff who were lounging at the bar, and who then just stared at us with a smirk.

You'd think given that there wasn't a single customer in the restaurant at this prime time (Saturday at 7pm), that they'd be relieved to have someone visit. Instead, they gave us a very unwelcome impression with their rude smirks.

We left immediately.

Classic example of Bali tripping over itself.

The food is super oily, the woman managing the restaurant rude, and the prices way too high given the small portion sizes.

I ordered takeout and specifically asked for no oil repeatedly. When I got to my hotel room and opened up the food, I found it swimming in oil, didn't even want to take a bite. Mistakes happen, which is understandable, so I just took the food back to the restaurant to request a refund (I didn't even take a bite of the oily mess, and I didn't trust them to get my order right a second time).

At first, they denied that there was even any oil, when there was clearly a pool of oil on top and a film of oil that coated the plastic bag. Then, after begrudgingly acknowledging the dish contained oil, they refused to give a refund, claiming it was somehow impossible to give us a refund because we had paid by credit card. Only after arguing with them for a while did they relunctantly give us a refund.

A perfect place for indian food. The best part is it is on the main beach street, so you enjoy good views and the thing i like the most was, when we entered the hotel, the started playing bollywood songs. This shows that they really care about there customer. Staff was very helpful and friendly, they made us full comfortable and i just lived the service. Service was fast and upto the mark. If you dont like Balinese food, this place is for you.. we ordered thali CHIKEN THALI... And trust me the taste for perfectly indian.... The cook was from Punjab, thats why the food has the perfect punjabi taste... Rates are bit normal like we got Chiken Thali for 1,50,000 IDR, bit high... But it was worth spending because one thali is sufficient for a good appetite oerson and for a heavy meal... They also gave a veg sabji and that also had 4-5 options... Ambience give you a feeling of indian dhaba... Overall a good Experience.. Have visited this place 2 time already... And surely will visit again.. i am uploading the photos of Menu, you can check the rates before going... Thank you.

I’ve been branch of this restaurant in Kuta. I have good memory about there. But, I was disappointed in Sanur. Staffs were kind and helpful. But Tanduri chicken was not soft and moist. Cheese nann was too salty. Chai tea was barely taste. And too much expensive :(
