Thoroughly average

by bnor24

I've eaten at India House twice and been underwhelmed both times. It's not that it's bad exactly - the food is decent and the service has been fine. However, the atmosphere feels crowded (the tables are close together), and the quality of the food just isn't that great for the price. I think East India Co. (which is nearby) is a better value with much better food and atmosphere.

• Pros: Decent (though not great) food
• Cons: Atmosphere feels crowded

Pay A Lot Eat a Little

by FitChick

India House offers more than the 'usual suspects' at every other Indian restaurants such as curry or vindaloo. OTOH you pay (a lot) for everything. A small portion of naan was almost $7. You pay extra for very dry tasteless rice and the main dishes were served in small pans.

OTOH the service was excellent and the food (what there was of it) was very tasty.

The Max rattles the walls and floors adding to the ambiance....yikes! Not a place for a relaxing or romantic dinner.

• Pros: Good selection instead of just "the usual suspects"
• Cons: Very expensive, small portions, a la carte and they mean it

rice NOT included....

by rdh1079

So when i moved here from the midwest i thought there would be loads of great indian food to be found, but it seemed i was wring, i did not like any of the places i had been. but i tried this placed and liked it, didnt love it, but liked it. the food that is...the prices are usually a couple bucks more per entree than other indian restaurants, and you have to pay for rice...which is strange, i have been to lots of indian restaurants, never paid for rice. i have been here several times, decided to stop going, i dont feel i get anything extra for the extra money, including free rice or a nice staff, or speedy service....i would, however, recommed a little place called new delhi indian restaurant on barbur, good food good prices, nice people and fast.

• Pros: food is good
• Cons: slow, not nice, expensive, rice cost extra
