Review content: 
Today i went with my girl friend for dinner inside gate of india, and the scenery was authentic enough, we were given our waters right away and off to a pretty good start. We even decided pretty quickly what we wanted off of the menu, it bothered me a little that everything was a la carte, meaning the rice being an essential part of the dish was something you have to buy as an extra, so I ordered the coconut malay vegetables, $9.99 and my girl friend ordered a lamb #12 in creme sauce for 14.99, two samosas for 5.00, and one plate of rice for 3.00. It wasnt 10 minutes until they brought out the samosas, they were pretty decent sized and with good sauces, this gave us good hopes for the main entrees. They brought out these burners under metals bowls to keep our meals hot, with a tea light candle under our very sparing portions that were way under the portion that we expected. We shared our lamb creme sauce and coconut veggies mixing them together, right away i noticed the lamb tasted really tough and resembled beef, in fact it was most likely beef for that unmistakable flavor that beef has, and it had a lot of gristles and very much over cooked. The waitress tells us that if we needed more rice that politely she would give us more, so the one plate of 3.00 rice wasnt enough so the waiter brought out another, and we finished off most of our portion since it was about the size of a small skimpy bowl that of an appetizer. The waiter with the weird teeth kept on shuffling back and forth behind our table and crowded our table, and we then became baffled not knowing if what we were eating was lamb or beef. So we decide to get our check, and the total comes out to be 38.19. We were more than infuriated, the waitress had deceitfully charged us for another rice, not to mention when we asked her if we ordered beef she responded by saying that if you ordered lamb then we gave you lamb, though it couldn't have been. They were pushy with the receipt, so i didn't leave a tip. Pros: pretty good food, colorful curtains, cool trinkets Cons: lying waitress that misinformed about extra charges, weird vibe to the place, way too expensive for the average to poor quality of food you get.
