Review: Royal Kabob & Curry
Slow and forgetful service, cheesy music, tacky posters and exorbitant prices-- the food would have to be pretty amazing to make up for it. Instead it only contributed to our feeling that the cesspool of a Las Vegas hotel featuring an all-you-can-eat Indian buffet had somehow backed up onto my plate.
My mango lassi never came. Ditto the additional naan I was connived into ordering by the waiter. They are using a "special" recipe--leftover Chinese rice from the place next door. It wasn't Basmati. I'm not even sure it was rice. And since when is naan Indian Fry Bread? It was non-naan. And has anyone ever eaten cold chicken tandoori? I'd say I have, but given how old & gamey the little leg tasted I think it might have been pigeon.
