Perched unassumingly across Broad Street from Doctors Hospital, Food India is a ruby in the rough. Their premises is.... unassuming, to say the least. Given twelve hours and twelve sets of shelves I could easily turn it into a corner store, a carry out, or a sad little shoe store. It doesn't look like a place that you can pick up an AMAZING curry, and, well, it isn't. The food isn't bad, in fact, it's pretty good. It just lacked any sort of 'Wow' factor. The portions sizes were generous, and the prices were fair, unfortunately I think the food might just be too authentic for my Americanized palette. I was warned by the friendly young man at the counter that the Lamb Masala was super spicy, and I asked for it to be extra spicy, but instead of the sweat dripping, tongue blistering, visions of my ancestors giving me guidance from beyond the grave experience that I was searching for, I got a mild/medium spiced pretty good curry. I wanted to transcend my body, surfing on waves of pain and glory surging from my tongue. What I got was... not what I wanted. But, perfectly fair, all things considered...
Final Ranking: B-
