Hema's Kitchen, once a beloved gem on Devon for Indian cuisine, has seen a troubling decline in quality and service. Recent experiences reveal confusion over its identity, with some patrons mistaking it for another restaurant entirely. Orders have been plagued by delays, missing items, and diminished flavors, leaving loyal customers disappointed and questioning whether new ownership or recipes are to blame.

As the competition heats up, diners are on the hunt for a new favorite, driven by a desire for consistently excellent Indian fare.
