I've been to several Indian restaurants around the country and this one ranks high, especially for the price. They could, as the only one in Lawrence, get away with mediocre food, but the food is consistent and well-prepared. The wait staff and management and very friendly and knowledgeable, but there have been times I waited too long for food, both sitting in the dining area and for take-out. Try the lunch buffet for a nice sampling of their dishes!

The first time I ate here, I had a delicious fish dish (sea bass perhaps) and it blew my socks off. The second time, I had a dish featuring pork and mashed potatoes. I have a pretty strong stomach, but it was too rich for me and was not cooked to their standards. Despite that, I will go back because of their unique menus, environment and experienced and friendly staff.The prices are high, yes, but it's priced just right.

I adore the food here and have never had a bad meal. The sandwiches, salads, wraps, salads, etc. are consistently tasty and fresh. However, the girls that work there are useless. Customer service experience is apparently not one of the things the managers look for when they're hiring, more like a pretty face. Color me crazy, but I expect a smile and some courtesy when I'm eating out. The prices are also a bit high, especially when compared to similar eateries. The half soup / half sandwich with a drink rings up to eleven+ dollars.

If you're looking for something easy and casual and have some bucks to spare, this is the place to go, just beware of the cashiers snarky attitudes.

For a fast food joint it's quite good. The sesame chicken is a personal favorite and I prefer it to any chicken dish produced by Jade Garden or Peking Taste. I also like the eel rolls, but they ARE cheap, fast-food rolls. My only complaint about the food is the peanut noodle dish and salad that come with the meals. I always throw them out and feel a little guilty about it. However, they aren't to my liking.

The service is excellent. I've never waited long for a delivery or in the drive-through and their employees are very friendly.

Shelby, I'm sorry if my comment about sports not contributing to growth offended you. As a child, I learned quite a bit about teamwork, perseverance and hard work playing soccer and basketball. Being a watcher and fan of professional sports, that confuses me, I just don't get it. Each to his own though. If it contributes to your life in a positive way, more power to you.

smerdyakov, I didn't realize this particular game was such a big deal, just thought it was the usual KS vs.MO hoopla. Probably because I try to remain ignorant about KU sports.

Ok, now I've managed to think and write about this particular topic way more than originally intended. *knocking it off*

Yes, it does become hard to ignore. And last time I checked, the comments area was an appropriate place to whine. If I was poo-pooing a story about something else, would it bother you enough to respond over and over to what is clearly just me having a little vent?

Like I said, I have not seen a great deal of coverage about sports here and I just wanted to go a day without it. Just one day, Shelby, ONE ! Then I click on my trusty Lawrence.com bookmark where I usually find a particular type of local story and find another Mizzou (or however you spell that) vs. KU story. If your claim is true and Lcom does cover sports on a regular basis, then I'm being totally illogical (which I admit to). However, let me have my whine. You get your twenty sports stories and coverage all over the darn place, can we have a little slice of the comments section that says "hey, what's the big dang deal about sports?"

"might I suggest moving to Antarctica?"

I've lived in four other cities and have never seen this much enthusiasm for sports, save the Broncos winning the Superbowl when I lived in Denver. Why don't I move back to a place where it's not the number one priority? Because I can usually ignore the sports business and pay attention to the things I enjoy. Lately though, it's becoming more and more difficult.

"...or the many, many sports stories of the past that have appeared exclusively, as the lead story, on Lawrence.com?"

Have been coming here for a while and have seen a minimal amount of coverage on sports. Feel free to link to them for others to enjoy because you know I won't be reading any of it. Just asking-why cover it here, there, and everywhere? The sports section just isn't enough?

"and how is that happening, exactly?"

The sea of blue t-shirts, the newspaper, chatty co-workers, television, just standing in line at the grocery store overhearing people talking. Of course, walking down mass street on a game day is always an event (and since I try not to know when game day is, it's not like I can avoid it).

Do you live in Lawrence?
