"Ayurveda, German style. Indian cuisine cooked by Sri Lankan served by German Why, why why??? These were some of the other titles I could come up with for this experience which was one of the worst in my dining experience. The sign outside said vegetarian...thali for and that tempted me to enter the restaurant. Not understanding German, I did not read that it was only for lunch. I could have walked out after being seated, specially after seeing curry plastered all over the menu. It should have warned me right there. There is no such thing as curry in India of course, it is an English invention. But temptation got over me, and I decided to test the 'Indian' waters once again after having sworn I will never step foot in an Indian restaurant again outside of India and the UK. I was taken for a grand ride by a Sri Lankan cook that cost me a hefty euros. So here goes the review: I asked for masala chai and what came was nothing but some condensed milk concoction that was barely warm and seemed like had been prepared years ago. I took a sip and put it away. The waitress had the nerve to charge me for it. There were no Indian breads naan etc. anywhere in the menu. I German owner allowed me to order the Ayurvedic meal even though it was meant for However, it did not include any bread. She said I could have naan bread as an extra. The German hostess and the Russian waitress brought me separate appetizer platters by mistake. One was a sizzler of sorts that looked all covered in lettuce and other grass. There were black sort of pieces lurking out from the other, and one bite confirmed that they had been cooked and reheated umpteen times in the past few days. I almost puked. The meal included tomato soup which was surprising to me in an Indian meal. What came was a version of mulligatawny soup, and in fact that was the highlight of the entire meal. Why, because that is the only authentic, original item that the Sri Lankan probably knew how to cook. The naan was served with the soup, and it looked really strange in a triangular shape of some strange flour. It sat there and got cold waiting for the main meal. The main meal consisted of daal, some spinach concoction and some mixed vegetable concoction that was half cooked. I could barely bite into the cauliflower pieces. There was no sign of papad that was included in the meal. The dishes were totally devoid of any spices or flavors or onion garlic. Perhaps, the owner chef took Ayurvedic very seriously and ended up cooking ashram style saatvik food. But then, it should be priced accordingly! There was still kulfi to be had! I was excited! And hungry..... what came was ablob of frozen sweet condensed milk topped with cream!!! I took look and shooed it away. By this time, I was totally fed up and disgusted with a perfect evening ruined. I decided to make up by striking a conversation with the women. The German woman has been running the place for years and she was proud of it. To me it only reflected the ignorance of the Germans about Indian cuisine. The other woman's claim to Indian credentials was the fact she had spent a year in Chennai. Amen"
