Bibas100 - I don't believe very many restaurants from metro Boston would deliver that far north. I am not terribly familiar with the restaurant scene in that neck of the woods but there is a place called Bollywood Grille in North Andover, which is about a 20-minute drive from Wakefield, and they've got some interesting Indian food. If I may, I'd recommend their Goan Fish curry - was pretty good when I had it. Avani - Oh thaaat budi - yeah I know what that is, it's the thing made from basun that you use in raita, no? For a minute I thought budi was another type of tapioca .. he he. On second thoughts, yes, I can certainly tell the difference between that and sabudana :). I wonder if I'd like budi in my kheer though - isn't it a bit salty? Have you had it - how does it taste? I am willing to give them a second and a third chance and maybe even a fourth one That's why I was there a second time and I am glad I went because it turned out to be much better than my first. Maybe they found out I was that mean guy railing against them on Sajha and decided to be play along ....LOL :) I'd be delighted to bump into you at Kathmandu Spice or anywhere and make your acquaintance. I'll be the guy sitting in the corner table with a sailors hat, beared face and pipe in my mouth ...just like in the cartoon ...ha ha ... ;) On second thoughts, bad idea, that would send anyone running for the hills! :P Dimple - "Om is not a Nepali restaurant " That's what I have been saying since the beginning of this thread. Thanks for putting it into such clear words - I was beginning to feel like a raving lunatic because no matter how many times I said that people were still going on as if OM was a Nepali restaurant. Bad owner and bad waiter at OM, huh? No candy for those guys :) Contrary to what I said earlier, maybe they do owe you an apology. Hey, btw, have you tried Cafe Momo in Manchester? You might like it - the owner is very friendly and talks to you.There are some Nepali items on the menu but the cooking and serving style is mostly eclectic American. Reviewrestaurant - "Hope the new owner will keep the bathrooms..." LOL! They did a lousy job meeting your expectation too it seems. Shame on them. On another note, I don't have a problem with their art, I quite liked it, but I see where you are coming from. Bostongirl - Your mom is with you? You are one lucky person - must be enjoying all the good cooking, huh? :) Hmmm ... maybe I should ask my mom to come too ...ha ha :) Btw, I like Tanjore too - haven't been there in ages though. Bathroom Coffee - A fellow Beantowner! Yeah, Mantra is certainly past peak and you're right they peaked quite a while ago. I was last there about 2 years ago - that was my last visit. I will have to take your characterization of the crowd with a grain of salt mostly because I am not comfortable with such cynical characterizations of others and I honestly think that's a rush to judgment. That said, the more I hear about people's experiences at OM, the more I wonder when their bubble will burst. I can only hope the owners are reading this and do something about it. Have a good week everyone.
