They charge $15 per person for canceling a reservation. In all honesty, they are not fancy enough to justify this level of arrogance. read more They charge $15 per person for canceling a reservation. In all honesty, they are not fancy enough to justify this level of arrogance.

The service was very nice! It felt like a family business with the owner going around and saying hello to the customers. The food was good. read more The service was very nice! It felt like a family business with the owner going around and saying hello to the customers. The food was good.

Four of us were back to the city to spend a quiet weekend, and on the first evening we placed a fairly large order for delivery via SkipTheDishes. Our order consisted...of appetizers, vegetarian dishes, non-veg dish, rice dish, and bread dishes (naan and roti). Service was quick – the order arrived within minutes. However, after opening the two big brown bags, we found that the most pricey item in the order – lamb vindaloo – was missing. We called the restaurant, and after being put on hold for almost minutes, someone bothered to discuss the issue with us. He outrightly denied that lamb vindaloo was missing; he insisted that he personally supervised the packing up of the order and he definitely packed the lamb vindaloo. When we asked how he is so sure, he retorted that it was a slow day and it was the only takeout order they have had that evening. When we insisted that we didn’t get the lamb vindaloo, he accused us of lying. We decided to expose his lie and fib. We asked him for a number for text messaging and he obliged. We took a screenshot of the SkipTheDishes order which listed the items we had ordered. Then we took a picture of the handwritten order inventory stapled to one of the brown bags that listed only items that had been packed – the handwritten list didn’t itemize lamb vindaloo. We texted both the images. Then the games started: After sending the text messages, we tried calling back but it took almost minutes before the same guy picked up and grumpily said that it has been a very busy evening, outrightly contradicting himself. Then he started insinuating that we ‘have photo-shopped and edited the screenshots to get a free lamb vindaloo’! When we laughed him off, he magnanimously announced that he is ‘going to give us a free order of lamb vindaloo, but it is going to take minutes and we have to come over to the restaurant to pick it up’. When we ruled it out, he asked us for our address so that he ‘can mail us a gift voucher for When we ruled it out, he just cut our call off in mid-sentence and won’t pick the phone again. To top it all, food quality was not great either. To confess honestly, the dal makhni was quite good, and the naans were fresh and fluffy. On the other extreme, the rotis were cold and hard like papad, and the bhindi masala was outrightly stale. The remaining items were rather below average by Indian food standards. After a few days, SkipTheDishes did issue us a refund when we sent the screenshots.
