Recent went back a week ago. The service was much much better - is someone reading yelp? ;)
My food wasn't quite as good, could be what I ordered. But my date told me her food was great, same girl as the first review. :)
I'd have to agree with the general consensus. The Momo's are great (and the other food) and the… Read more »
It looks like everyone's already said what needs to be said about this place, but I'll throw in my two cents.
The service is slow, but the food is delicious! My husband and I split a delicious appetizer whose name escapes me. It was dough stuffed with tofu, mushrooms, and... cheese, I think? It turned out to be a great combination. We gorged ourselves on the crispy eggplant in sweet garlic sauce, and also enjoyed the tofu in pumpkin curry.
If you like Chinese food and/or Indian food, you'll enjoy this cuisine. I like that there are a lot of vegetarian options, and the location is pretty convenient, too.
It all boils down to:
Food is delicious with tantalizing flavors, though can be a tad bit greasy.
Service is slow (it took about 45 minutes for them to serve us any food, we thought they forgot about our meals), so be patient and bring good company.
To those of you who knocking the service, I concur heartily. Brusque to the point of rudeness -- putting food down at the table without a word, not thanking you as you leave even though they're standing right there, that kind of thing. You're in their home and they don't make it the most warm of environments.
But the food. Oh, the food makes up for it. In spades. I had the vegetable fritters in soya garlic sauce. I will dream about this tonight.
OK nevermind, I hear that they are probably just switching owners...no bugs or anything like that. I will try out their food again under new ownership. =)
Um today 9.14.09 I walked passed this place. Completely closed with a handwritten note saying not opening for a short period of time....All I can think is EWWWW I just ate here. But it didn't have a legal infestation notice or anything...do they do that in Mass? they do in Cali.
This place is convenient right in Davis square. It is a good option to put on your list...but I'm… Read more »
LOVE. Service was meh. Ambiance is mediocre.
Food? Food is amaaaaaaaaaaazing. Selection is massive - fell in love with the huge selection of vegetarian options and I'm not even vegetarian! Fascinating desert and appetizer selections, weird drinks involving masala. Fill - my - heart - with - glee. Seriously.
I'd never had Tibetan food before, but I have had Tibetan food since and I keep wanting to come back here. It made me fall in love with the cuisine.
In a battle with Rangzen in Central, I'd say Rangzen wins for fry bread, ambiance and service. But this place wins for tastiness, selection and price. Go to Rangzen for a date. Take your friends and family here for a laid back, delicious experience.
I haven't had a dish at this place that's disappointed. Big thumbs-up for a large vegetarian selection. Since I'm not a big drinker, I love it when places have non-alcoholic drinks that are more than just Coke/Pepsi/Sprite--Masala mint soda? Mango iced tea? Yes, please.
Thanks to my dear friend Traci K., I'm also a devotee of the cheesy tofu patty appetizer. It is more cheese and mashed potato than tofu, but I'm fine with that. My favorite entree is the Drupka Tse (sp?), vegetables in a spicy cheesy sauce. Rice is a must for the entrees. The only dessert I've had here is the mango sundae, which is a good combo of mango ice cream, mango chunks, whipped cream and caramel sauce. Next time I might come armed with apples, because I originally wanted to order apple fritters for dessert, but they were out of apples. Still, the sundae was a good consolation prize.
Like other reviewers said, the service here isn't stellar. At best, the servers are polite but reserved. Sometimes they don't fill the water glasses, or ask how the food was until you're done eating. Still, Martsa's is one of the places I always eat at when I visit the Boston area, and I sigh and dream about moving back.
cheap and yummy lunch buffet. 8.95$$$
check it out.
This is the only place I have ever had Tibetan food so I dont have much to compare it to. With that said, the food here is very tasty and there are many options that seem fairly healthy. I dont eat spicy food but have found some things on the menu that I really like. I usually get chicken with cashew nuts and brown rice, and I always have leftovers that I enjoy again the next day.
The place can get crowded on a Friday night so call ahead for reservations especially if you are a bigger party. They will have your table already reserved for you rather than making you wait until half your party arrives to seat you.
I hadn't been to Martsa's since they remodeled, but used to be a frequent diner. I had friends in from out of town who are vegetarians, so decided to take them there. We were not disappointed. I called 20 minutes before our arrival to let them know we were coming; they had our table waiting for us when we arrived. We ordered 4 appetizers and 4 mains - which was way to much food, but it was very good. And as everyone else has said, the fried momos are great!
They don't have a liquor license, so don't expect drinks. And the days of BYOB (before the remodel) are over. No worries - they still have great lassis. We weren't a fan of the chai, though.
Service is a bit slow when they are busy, bu the food makes up for it.
Momos! This is my go-to date place. It's a cozy little spot with small tables, brightly painted walls, and cute decorations. It's very friendly feeling. The food is, unfortunately, pretty hit-and-miss. I blame the huge menu.
The aforementioned momos are AWESOME. They come with two sauces: one spicy and one sweet. They're hot, juicy, fried little balls of goodness that sort of burst in your mouth when you bite into them. I have dreams about momos. As for entrees, the chicken balls in tomato broth are great. The chicken chili is terrible. Shapta is great, creamy chicken is terrible. I've only had one desert here, the Bhagtsamagu. It was butter soaked bread covered in a light dusting of suger. Greasy. Tasteless. Gross. Only order the Tibetan tea if you feel like playing a joke on someone. It's heinous.
Excellent Tibetan restaurant in Davis Square. My wife stumbled across the place when she had a job interview across the street in 2007 and a friend of mine had highly recommended this place as well. The owners are Tibetan-Indian (typical as many Tibetans have left Tibet) and have created a homey yet modern ambiance (since the remodel). I'm not one to usually rave about soups, but Martsa's are out of this world. If you're interested enough to read the reviews on yelp, then just go. Great place.
Cheesy tofu patty = love.
There is no doubt about it. If you're going to dine at Martsa on Elm, you must try it. And love it. Really though - what's not to love? Two little pan fried patties. Potato, cheese, tofu and spinach. A little fruit chutney (apricot...I think) on the side. A-mazing.
Their vegetarian menu is pretty extensive which is always nice when I need to meet my non-meat eating friends for dinner. My fave off the veg menu: Drupke Tse (I'm sure I butchered the spelling...). Broccoli, string beans, water chestnuts and other veggies in a spicy cheese sauce. Yum.
The curries are also pretty delicious. I particularly love the lamb curry with yogurt (don't remember the exact name of the dish).
No joke - the food is five stars +. The four star rating is for service (and lack of liquor license! tsk tsk). Very hit or miss. I've received the best service with a super great server and a really attentive staff -- but I've also had pretty lame service... forgotten drinks and dishes...being rushed out the minute I put my fork down.
Regardless, it's definitely worth checking out.
Was in MA for the wkend and visited my girl Trace who lives in Somerville and said, "Do you like Tibetan food?" To which I replied, "I don't know, but you know me, I love everything so let's do it!"
Food was absolutely delish, here's the run down:
-apps: we split the spring rolls (good, but slightly doughy for me) and this cheesy, tofu, mushroom potato pancake thing (amazing! perfectly light but fried at same time, consistency and texture were perfect)
-entrees: I had the chicken and spinach which was obviously cooked to order, tender, fresh, not too much sauce, just delicious! Trace had this thing that was tofu with some vegetables in this sauce that was slightly creamy, slightly cheesy AND had raisins and nuts in it. Imagine what brocolli tastes like with a cream sauce but with slightly less cheese a little bit of sweetness and some crunch (from the nuts), it was out of this world.
We got there around 8:30 on a Sat and the place was PACKED...we waited for 10 minutes or so to be seated, but honestly ppl, 9 times out of 10, if there is a wait, that means SOMETHING is good about the place.
The desserts looked equally as tempting as the extensive (and I MEAN extensive) menu but we were in no shape to consume more food after out feast. Which reminds me, a few Yelpers were unhappy with the portions at Martsa, but Trace and I each had some left over food. DEFINITELY order some apps and you will have more than enough food (ppl next to us brought food home and they didn't even order apps).
My 1 qualm and I mean 1 is that they don't have a liquor license. I enjoy my wine and I especially enjoy my wine when catching up with friends I never see so I was (slightly) disappointed in that, but my Mango iced tea and fresh, cooked to order meal more than made up for the lack of alcohol.
I would recommend this place to anyone...seriously, the menu is so large that there really IS something for everyone here!
Check it!

Great food. Though service can leave a little to be desired at busy times.
Momos are excellent. Recently had the Roasted Aubergine and Almond Chicken. Both excellent, side of rice could have been larger/fresher, but over all quite a tasty meal.
Do like House of Tibet in Teele a bit better, in terms of ambiance, food, and service.
If I could, I would live entirely off the lemon chicken and tingmo. So good!
However this restaurant is very over-priced for the portion sizes (not really any for leftovers) and I've had some pretty lame service. I understand that a busy restaurant has a lengthy wait time for food, but a half hour between getting your drinks and getting your first appetizer (and another 10 before the second shows up) is a bit much for such a casual place. I've also received wrong orders on two occasions, and both times it took a great length to bring me the correct food order.
I love tibetan food and was happy to see a place so near to where I live, but I must say I do not go here unless I know I have a great length of time to spend, and plenty of money.
I've been here on two occasions, once with my Dad and once on a date.... it was a good choice for both (except for the unfortunate lack of a liquor license....)
If you've never had Tibetan food... basically, if you think you might like it, you probably will. It has elements of both Indian and Chinese food (as you might expect), but feels a bit more rustic.
And they do it well here. Intriguing spices, fresh flavors, and lots of choices. The momos are a must-try specialty! If you're a vegetarian like me, you'll love all the options you have to choose from.
The dining room is pleasant and well lit; not particularly cozy or romantic, but comfortable enough. It can get loud when it's crowded.
Service is OK, but a little slow and not particularly attentive. Prices are reasonable.
Shouldn't be your choice for a late dinner on a Saturday night.
Too bright, no liquor license, wall-to-wall carpets. Service was nothing special. The food was great and arrived almost instantly. Suspiciously quickly. A little pricey for what you get. The veggies momos are just spinach wrapped up.
All of this adds up to a restaurant that wanted us in and out quick, though we arrived 45 minutes before closing time. I've been there for lunch - great all-you-can-eat buffet and nice and sunny.
Rangzen in Central is way better.
Yum! I came here with two friends and we each had one main dish and one rice/bread to supplement our meals.
The food was really tasty and my first experience with Tibetan food. It was really interesting, like north Indian, Thai, and Chinese food combined. I had some bread with my coconut curry chicken and it was quite delicious.
I think the prices were too high. I paid $12 for my dish, and I think $3 for bread to go with it. The dish was small--right for me to eat for dinner, but for $12, it should have come with rice or bread at the very least. I also generally like restaurants that have a little more food per dish than you might eat because I loooove leftovers.
I'd come here again, but at the same time, it's nearly across the street from Namaskar, which is probably as expensive but arguably better taste, atmosphere, and portion size. The menu was really big, though, so it would be nice to try more of the dishes. Still....in Davis, there are so many tasty places that are more reasonably priced.
What a cute little place this is! I tried making a reservation for 8 for a Sunday afternoon. The person who answered the phone said that they didn't take reservations on the weekend.
When I got there at 12 noon, I understood why. The place was totally empty and the buffet was just getting set up. We waited until about 12:15 to get food. I chose the lunch buffet for $9.95 and was pleasantly surprised. Many of the buffet choices contained curry. (Yum!) The Chili Chicken with stir-fried veggies was out of this world.
Entree portions are sizeable. You'll probably have leftovers to take home.
Service was a little on the slow side--even though the restaurant was mostly empty.
I would agree with other reviewers that the service at Martsa isn't top notch, but for the price you're paying, you can't expect fine service. Besides which the food is outstanding. Curries are different than Indian curries, and many non-curry options as well. No alcoholic bevs but the non-alcoholic options are unique and worth trying. Different chili sauces are also good. After my first visit to Martsa I ended up back there again the same week - it was just so tasty I couldn't wait for more.
Let's be honest-- the service here sucks. Like, really really. As in, you walk in and no one greets you for like 5-10 minutes. Then you sit down, and the waiter doesn't talk or smile, just slaps down some menus, takes your order, and disappears. Just pray you don't have questions, or you might have to wait a while for some answers.
Luckily, most of the food is good. I am in absolute love with the steamed momos, pretty much all of the soups and various breads. I love the veggie noodle dish too. I guess you could call me an appetizer lover when it comes to Martsa.
The entrees all taste very similar, honestly, with slight variations in a few of the spices. I've now had 4 different ones, and they were all pretty good but none excellent, the highlight being the tofu mushroom mango dish. However, I'm not a fan of how these dishes all clearly go with rice, yet you have to pay extra for rice. I just think that's silly.
Yet there's these incredible sauces they put on the table with your food, better than any sauce I've ever had sat down on a table for free for me. One is super spicy and flavorful, and the other is a mild, zesty tomato onion sauce, almost Italian in flavor, but so good you want to lick your plate and put it on everything that crosses your lips. On our last visit, my boyfriend and I managed to kill an entire dish of it!
Truth is, that sauce, along with those onion potato bhajis and steaming veggie momos, keep me coming back.
My first impression of Martsa? Overwhelming. The menu is very large. Plus the descriptions really don't help you understand the dishes. If you've never had Tibetan food before, it's sort of a guessing game.
Anyway, since one of the past reviews said this place is like a mixture of Indian and Thai (both of which I like), I tried to find a dish that seemed the most Indian-like. I went with the creamy chicken. Good choice. It had strong Indian flavors, spicy but not TOO spicy, and was exactly what I was in the mood for. We also got the vegetable spring roll appetizer which was just OK. Sort of greasy and definitely nothing to write home about. My gf got the appetizer vegetarian momos which she really liked, and for an appetizer, it was huge! You definitely get your money's worth.
So, my first experience with Tibetan food gets 4 stars. I'm a fan and I'll be back.
I didn't know a damn thing about Tibetan food when I went here...and I still don't. The food was good and the service decent (it was crowded, but the food still came quickly). Pretty much everything I saw on the menu seemed Indian, Thai, Vietnamese or fusion. Maybe that's the point.
The momos are worth grabbing even if you are not that hungry.
We had to wait about 20 minutes to get seated, but if you go early you shouldn't have a problem.
The main drawback is how cramped it is: There was no room between our table and the next, so I found myself being self-conscious about volume and subject matter the whole time.
So. Tibetan food? ?!. That's what kept me from trying this place for the first two years that I lived in Davis. Because, really, what the heck is Tibetan food? Answer? DELICIOUS. Seriously, this place is slammin'. Imagine, if you will, a delectable tapestry of the best of Indian and the best of Thai. Badda bing! Tibetan food!
Yum.
I think I may have found my new favorite restaurant! I took my sister here after she arrived from her road trip from CA after spending a week on fast food. We wanted something healthy and delicious and we found it! Actually I'm not so sure about the health factor, the food was a tad greasy but it sure did make me feel good after eating it. Which I did...the entire meal.
We ordered the veggie momos and couldnt decide between steamed and fried so they gave us half and half, which was awesome! I think I prefer the steamed. My sister ordered the tofu in coconut curry which was fantastic and I ordered the veggie delight...or something to that effect which was amazing as well. A bit greasy as mentioned before, but not in a bad way. They have so many options for vegetarian dishes, it was really hard to make a decision!
My only complaints are that the service really is lacking and they do not serve rice with the meals. I was able to overlook that upon eating the food. yum! I'll definitely be back to try the Sunday buffet!
Seriously the only thing worth ordering here is the soup. Any of the soups are great, especially on a cold New England night. All else, including the Almond Chicken is a waste of time and money!
By the way, this place is also way over-priced.
I enjoyed my experience here. I love their assortment of delicious drinks.
I really enjoyed the okra. The only thing missing was more seasoning.
But seriously, what's up with all the table squished right next to each other? I can hear everyone's conversations. It feels like a cafeteria.
There was a time when I not only would have unquestioningly given this five stars, but it was my absolute favorite restaurant in all of metro Boston, the one I would always ask to go to on my birthday. What happened? Well, the remodeling and the choices that came with it have downgraded it, in my opinion. The biggest thing, which I consider to be a huge mistake and which I simply cannot figure out the reasoning behind, is that they no longer offer a rotation of different options at the lunch buffet. I used to go here an average of once a week for the lunch buffet, and knew several other people who enthusiastically did the same (or even more often). Now that they offer quite literally the EXACT same things every single day at the lunch buffet, I almost never go here for it, and no longer know anyone else who does. Not only that, but in their old space, the buffet would often be to capacity by 12:30 (just an hour after it began) but now even if I go that late or later, there's no trouble finding seating - so I'm pretty sure that many other people feel the same way about the new buffet as I do. The other biggest mistakes about the remodeling are that the new lighting is somewhat glaring and has made the place seem less cozy, and they have chosen to keep the same amount of waitstaff with a larger restaurant, even though the waitstaff seemed to often struggle with the amount of work even at the old smaller size.
The owners (also the head chefs) are Tibetans who grew up in India, and their cuisine reflects that heritage, with some traditionally Tibetan foods mixed in with Indian fusion dishes on the menu. They have a large variety of vegetarian options, as many fully Indian restaurants also do. The vegetables are typically quite fresh and I know several non-vegetarians who go there and order vegetarian entrees for dinner.
Favorites: The barley flour soup (traditional Tibetan food) on a cold New England evening; chocho; tofu with mushrooms
I take back the statement that Martsa is a great place to eat if you want a quick meal!
Last night, me and five friends gathered here for a farewell dinner (sad face). The excitement of the new venue has lessened, but the food flavor has not. In fact, my opinion of Martsa food has escalated BIG time.
Anyhow, we ordered many delicious apps: soya tote (tofu, and mushrooms stuffed in a steamed pod of dough), momos (pan fried and spinach + some unknown but aromatic flavor-filled). It took a while for these to be served. My guess is that they make everything to order, now. People's meals from all around were coming out very slowly... we kept thinking the next dish was ours, only to be disappointed when the waiter walked right by.
Dinner was difficult to choose, but I went for my initial gut instinct: Sweet and Spicy Lamb with Baby Bok Choy - a think sauce that lived up to its name. The immediate sweetness was followed by a mild spice. Oh so nice.
Everyone else ordered:
Capsicum Chicken - hot hot hot! think buffalo style with onion/pepper
A tofu/spinach dish - very sweet, but couldn't tell you exactly what they used in the dish to give it the sweetness. My guess: coconut milk, butter, shallots.
Phingsha - Tender chinks of beef with soya noodles and basil, mildly aromatic curry
Beef and Butternut Squash - holy hell this was good. It was more on the curry/Indian side of flavor, but it was ultra aromatic and tasty.
Chicken Something (nice, right?) - had a medium aromatic-ness to it, between the phingsha and butternut dishes. Great for the mildly adventurous.
So again, the meals came out pretty slowly and there is no alcohol or BYOB to tide you over... just bring good company and an empty stomach prepared to be delightfully filled.
By the way, I hear there is a Sunday brunch buffet for $7! Wouldn't mind getting over there for some tasty treats on a nice Sunday AM.
Oh la la, Martsa had an IKEA facelift and they have expanded the premises. Nicely done! This spot… Read more »
Interesting -- first time I had tried Tibetan cuisine so I cannot comment on authenticity. I ordered the fabled momos as a starter, a lamb curry main dish, and a chai tea on the side. The food was good, decent, but not outstanding. Momos were not that big a deal really after all they were made out to be by fellow yelpers out there. Lamb curry had a nice, home-cooked flavor to it but tasted better after I doctored it up with some spicy sauces from the table. Also thought this place to be a bit overpriced.
In a nutshell: Decent food, pricey for what you get, some items off the menu are better than others. It's not that I wouldn't ever come back, but I've gotta believe better Tibetan food can be found around here...
I'd never tried Tibetan food before going to Martsa, but I have to say, I'm impressed. It's reminiscent of both Indian and Thai; there are a lot of curries, coconut, lime, and peanut flavoring. I wasn't a huge fan of the lime-mint tea, but then again, I'm not a huge fan of cilantro. The food, however, was excellent. We got several dishes, both vegetarian and chicken, and all were tasty.
There was a bit of a wait on a Friday night, and the staff wasn't as attentive as I might have expected, but service wasn't unnecessarily slow, and the food is well worth the wait.
Came here for a Saturday afternoon lunch buffet. First of all, $8 for a lunch buffet is a steal, so A+ for that price. The food was great -- I've never had Tibetan fare before so I can't compare to any other places of similar cuisine, but I'm talking taste, presentation, all the basics -- it was delicious. My brother and I really liked everything we had, lots of vegetables all made in ways we weren't expecting, pleasant surprises everywhere.
Service was fast, friendly. No complaints there!
Here's the deal. You can have the most awesomely satisfying food in the galaxy... in all of existence... BUT if you, the server, the host, or any of the many faces of the establishment suck serious pie hole, then the experience ends up negative, and no amount of delicious lamb with coconut curry can possible change that.
Word to the waitress: Don't greet me 10 minutes after i have arrived with, "you ready?"
Word to the guy at the counter: Don't stare at my table, note the distress when we're waiting for our snotrag of a waitress to bring us our bill for 10 minutes... DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
Word to Martsa on Elm: I'm not coming back.
I'd never had Tibetan food before and went for lunch with a coworker. Luckily there is a lunch buffet. My favorite way to try something new... a little bit of everything rather than settling on one dish only to discover it's not what you want!
The lentil soup was good but not very hot. We had some curried lemon chicken that was very good and some chicken chili that had lots of peppers and onions and a HUGE afterbite! Very good! The eggplant/potato dish was good but a little mushy and the stir fry veggies were fantastic! I'd go back, it's close by the office so I won't need a sherpa to find it!
I would give 3.5 stars to Martsa if I could. Went with my boyfriend and we had some veggie momos, chili chicken, and an order of tofu and mushrooms in mango sauce.
The veggie momos were tasty in my opinion, although I have no idea what an authentic momo should taste like. I expected frozen spinach would be used inside, but they clearly used fresh which was a nice surprise. The dumplings were served with a really good spicy tomato and onion chutney on the side. I totally recommend trying this stuff, it was really addicting.
The tofu was easily the star of the night, in a light brown sauce with a hint of mango. It wasn't cloyingly sweet as I expected, and both the mushrooms and broccoli were fresh and cooked nicely.
The chili chicken was a letdown. The sauce had absolutely no flavor of chilies, no heat, and was essentially a bowl of chopped bell peppers with onions and chicken chunks.
I should have known not to order that dish, in retrospect. I suffered from that weird state of panic when the waiter arrives and you order the first thing your eyes hit on the menu. Big mistake, I will definitely stick to the tofu and momos next time.
Overall, while the place lacks some ambiance and friendliness from the staff, it is compensated for by the "bang for your buck factor". Entrees are roughly 11 bucks each, which is pretty affordable for a sit down restaurant, in my opinion.
Be warned though - the menu is way too big for every option to possibly be good. A sign of a great restaurant is one with a reasonably sized menu where every appetizer and entree is refined.
This is not the case at Martsa - you will get some things that are absolute crap (chili chicken). However, there are some things that are tasty for the price. It is worth taking your chances for some quick and cheap eats in Davis.
Who in Davis Square offers the most delicious selection of vegetarian options? My vote is for Martsa on Elm; the owners Choesang and Dechen Martsa, originally from Tibet, cook up brilliant cuisine from their homeland.
Start off with an order of bhajis (crispy onion & potatoes deep fried in chickpea batter), or the vegetable momos (half-moon-shaped dumplings either steamed or fried). The vegetarian specialties section is loaded with options for less than $9. I highly recommend the Lady Fingers (Okra cooked with onions & fresh herbs), which comes seasoned with cumin and turmeric. And Martsa offers beef and chicken dishes for meat eaters. Also, the Curried Lentil soup is essential wintertime comfort food.
The food is delicious, the price is low, and the service is consistently good. Martsa on Elm brings the flavors of the Himalayas to the heart of Davis Square.
Pumpkin curry was very interesting, very good. Tibetan curry is more like a stew. Most tibeten food has a slightly stew-likeness to it, including their soups. But it's good. Hearty. Keeps you going when you spend a long day herding yaks across the Himalayas. Or when trekking back from Davis T to where I live.
Beef momos are also excellent.
I liked this place. It's so cheerfully orange, and the menu's first page of Real Food (as opposed to appetizers and soups) was "Vegetarian Specialties". So I peeked at the next couple of pages and told my husband, "Don't worry, there's meat, too." He got the shapta, which was tasty and likened to Chinese stir fry but healthier-tasting. I wanted something different, so I tried the drukpa tse, and I enjoyed it but had to think hard about what it was like before deciding on "nothing I've ever had before".
The prices are pretty decent, but they would be better if rice was included. I think in the future I might do take out and cook my own rice!
I will offer a contrasting opinion to people who didn't like the service. Our waiter wasn't super speedy but reasonably quick enough and very good about refilling my water. They definitely seemed friendly enough to me, but maybe it's not quite fair, since my husband is such a charmer.
So I work just down the street from this place. One a whim i walked by one day and the spices and yummy smells caught my attention. They have a lunch buffet that is reasonable cheap and offers a good bang for your buck.
I ate here a couple times and every time was just as good as the time before.
That is until I went and ordered some curry chicken to go. And it went dreadfully wrong from there.
To my surprise I came back to work and opened the box only to find a new friend.
A COCKROACH!!! still alive. Wiggling it's antenna's sitting on top of my delicious dumpling. :(
I have to say, I wanted to like this place, i did like this place, but after that how could you possibly want to go back?
Nonetheless because of this occurance, I was turned off from eating out for weeks. Paranoid on what may or may not turn up. Let us just say I will not be going back to this place anytime soon!
