We ate at Kabob Palace Fri. night, and we were very saddened and disappointed. Not that the food was bad -- I'm not qualified to review Indian/Pakistani food. But, Two complaints:
1) The "service" (if you could call it that) was completely lacking. This place seems geared to the foriegn-born already familiar with the food and customs. There was little explanation of the food items. It wasn't clear how you order: table service? The platters come with a choice of one of the curries which are displayed at the "counter" where you place your order. But they are not labeled. (We had a choice of 2 vegetarian curries, and 4 goat curries, after we asked the counter-guy to identify them.) There was no asking of "do you want a beverage with that? Water? " I ordered a mango lassi (sounded good), but it never arrived. We really could have used some water-- but none was offered. Plastic forks and spoons, no knives.
2) The very sad part was the fact that the interior of the previously-meticulously-restored American Diner was now hole-in-the-wall silly decor. Gone are all remnants of the previous diner (except for the stainless steel walls). All cheap industrial carpet -- no tile. Silly chandeliers. If you remember the American Diner interior, you will be very sadened to see it now.
