My family took me to Shafiq's for Mothers Day. We had a reservation, but there was no table for us when we arrived. I think the owner was genuinely surprised that he was so busy on a Sunday; he was dressed for an afternoon at the golf course. We waited over an hour for our food, and obviously our order was lost, but all the owner could say was "there's nothing I can do". No apologies, no offers of recompense. We left without eating, and will not be returning.
we came as a group of 6, the restaurant was packed! but we decided to stay we did indeed wait a while for our meals however the service was great, beautiful atmosphere the waiters were really nice and the food came out nice and hit and was just amazing! definitely coming back
Came here on a saturday night, and for some reason the only wait staff was the owner and his son, despite the restaurant being full. Had a reservation, but it took them ten minutes to seat us. Another 15 to receive our drinks. 45 to receive our appetizers and they forgot to give us napkins and bring us water, and we had to ask for them. It took 1 hour and 20 minutes to finally receive our food. By the time the food came, I was so hungry and uncomfortable I honestly don't even remember if it was good. I felt like it was mediocre at best. I was never even asked if I wanted dessert, and when I told the owner how long it took us to get our food he just shrugged.
There is no excuse to be understaffed like that on a saturday night. From reading the other reviews, it seems this is really common. I think the owner is trying to squeeze as much money out of this place as possible. I won't be going back - it's too big a risk to have an unpleasant experience like that.
Our visit started out good; I've had recommendations from friends. Then upon arrival the place was packed and lively. Our drinks were so-so, my lassi too fruity-sweet, and partner's chai was too sweet and lacking in those layers of spices you'd expect from an 'authentic-looking' Indian resto. Our food seemed like a good deal, the Bangladeshi dinner for two at 35$, but our three main dishes tasted bland. The fish curry (made with salmon???) was mildly flavoured, but the tarka dal and sag bhaji were both BLAND. The mango desert was sickly sweet syrupy and yuck. Our table cloth was still dirty from the previous diners...and our waitress, though kind and pleasant forgot a few items that came with the combo. We've been to many Indian restaurants and were sorely disappointed with our evening there, we will not return.
For between 15-20 per person, you end up being stuffed with amazing food, that's healthy for you.
I've had quite a few of the dishes here. The Madras is quite spicy, and wonderfully prepared. The butter chicken is rich and the coconut really comes through well. Their Sag Paneer, though surprisingly not on the menu (but can be requested) is very authentic.
Service does seem a little lacking during the busy times. But the owner is always around, and ensures you are satisfied with everything.
If you want great food, and good atmosphere, for under $20/person. This is your place.
