Reviewresturant - I agree with most of what you have said and I couldn't have put it better. If there are repeated complaints about service, and these complaints are not just related to people finding themselves in the wrong restaurant, then that is a serious issue. Just look at what happened to Mantra. They started out as a hot French-Indian fusion place and if you were anybody who wanted to be seen, Mantra was the place to be. The food was good and the crowd was hep. But that has changed, and I personally think largely because of poor and snobbish service. It would be a shame if Om went down the same path. I felt like strangling that snotty waiter at Mantra who served me on my last visit there. Not even in Paris do you find such snots . I heard he has since been fired. Thapap - Sure why not! And hey who knows, maybe we will meet some hot gals, and we can paint the town red - we and our two chicks in my imaginary Porsche ...LOL!! Shirish - Very interesting comments. I am chuckling as I type this because you sound a bit like a friend of mine. He is married and the missus is a very good cook and cooks for him so his standards for measuring Nepali food are very high. For me, when it comes to Nepali food, I have found any food to be good food... :) Avani - Didn't know you were from Beantown. Welcome to the cranky gourmet club which is what this thread might soon become ... he he he. Btw, I didn't know there was a difference between budi and Sabudana ...LOL ... is there really? Also, I agree the service at Kathmandu Spice has gotten better. I bumped them up in my blog : http://www.sajha.com/guild/read.cfm?guildid=165 To good life.
