I really shouldn't list any "cons" about this fine restaurant. Sam and Jag have four locations around San Diego and the food is top notch. I cook a LOT of Indian food at home from scratch so I can tell when care goes into the recipes and when they are just throwing some curry base into a pan to crank out mediocre dishes. This place knows what they're doing. I have eaten a number of the different curries here and they have all been really good. The chutneys are fresh and I love the mint/cilantro chutney that comes to the table. Fresh, spicy and delicious. The tandoori dishes are very good. They have a great marinade/rub that they use and the flavors are fresh and the meat quality is good. My only complaint is that the breads are small and at $4-5 each, they should overlap the basket like they do in many restaurants, it's only a handful of atta or all purpose flour after all, so why not impress people? I can highly recommend their restaurants and will continue to visit regularly. There are a half dozen Indian eateries downtown, but this is by far the best! Keep up the good work guys!!!
Pros: The curries and tandoori are the best
Cons: Naan, Chapati, Paratha and other breads are too small
