I have gone and done it. I have officially boycotted one of my favorite Indian restaurants as a result of the downright unpleasant attitude of some of their waitstaff. I have chronicled many of my bouts as to the ordering of chai at this establishment within this food blog. Those bouts coupled with other problems [...]

In Search of Chai, sans attitude
FineRepast runs into local celebrity at New India Restaurant
Despite my new favorite Indian cuisine lunchtime haunt, aka Taj Mahal, a friend insisted that we revisit the New India Restaurant off of Bethel Road for our weekly buffet binge. The food is really outstanding at the New India Cuisine. It’s just a challenge to get chai as documented in earlier reviews. Anyhow, my friend [...]
Taj Mahal delights again
Taj Platter at Taj Mahal Restaurant in Columbus When in doubt, I head to the Taj Mahal. It’s close by and it’s good food. This time I tried the Taj Platter off of their menu – consisting of Tandoori Chicken, choice of Lamb or Chicken Curry, Raita, Naan and choice of Dessert. I, of course, [...]
Taj Palace – best Indian lunch buffet in town
I often enjoy eating at the Taj Palace in Hilliard, Ohio for their fine lunch buffet. Nothing like Indian buffet and a hot cup of chai on a cold wintry day. Mind you, the lunch fare’s spiciness has been toned down to attract the large, American crowds but the chai runs freely. If you want [...]
New India Restaurant – Good food, just don’t ask for Chai
I’ve been a big fan of the New India Restaurant in the Bethel Center Mall. I would rank them as the best Indian Lunch Buffet in town but for one thing – trying to get a cup of chai is like pulling teeth. Today, I was there with a friend and we weren’t even asked [...]
Raja Rani – better off avoided
Looking for fine Indian fare in Ann Arbor, I sought out the Raja Rani. Raja Rani had a fine reputation for its food but I hadn’t been there in several years. I entered the restaurant and waited in their waiting room for someone to seat us. On the walls in the waiting room were posted [...]
Taj Mahal – A top rated fine repast
Looking for some good eats on a Wednesday night, finerepast.com found themselves at the Taj Mahal restaurant – home of North Indian cuisine. I had not eaten there for dinner since they were located a few blocks farther south on High Street. Since that time, they’ve moved into an enormous old house off of High. [...]
FineRepast visits Cincinnati – third stop – Krishna
Krishna’s Lamb Curry with Raita I’ve always been a sucker for Indian food and I’ve always loved little hole in the wall places. Krishna fits the bill on both counts. Krishna is a tiny Indian restaurant with perhaps seating for 16. As you walk in, there are seats on the right and the counter and [...]
