“Quantity looks good (on the face of it) but it's all gravy with less meat, panner or veg in the curries.”
“Curries are brown i.e. they are not fresh and appeared to be a few days old.”

“Old Monk missed the mark entirely, with dishes arriving lukewarm and lacking the depth of flavor expected from decent Indian cuisine.”
“The dhabha panner tasted remarkably flat, bordering on bland, while the naan was dense and undercooked.”
