To
me,
two
stars
means
that
I'm
not
actively
shouting
for
people
to
avoid
a
place,
but
that
I
will
recommend
against
going
there
if
asked.
Starting
with
presentation,
they
bring
you
your
food
in
plastic
or
styrofoam
to-go
containers,
even
if
you
are
dining
in.
The
butter
chicken,
which
should
be
finished
with
a
ring
of
heavy
cream,
is
just
a
hue
of
red
on
top.
As
for
flavor:
*
The
mango
lassi
tastes
like
"Dannon
Fruit
on
the
Bottom"
yogurt,
put
through
a
blender.
It
tastes
first
of
sugar,
with
a
backdrop
of
mango.
A
good
lassi
should
taste
first
of
the
distinctive
fruit,
then
of
the
tangy
yogurt,
and
finally
have
a
light
sweetness.
*
The
goat
biryani
tastes
heavily
of
cloves,
almost
to
the
point
of
numbing
your
tongue
(if
you
have
ever
bitten
into
a
whole
clove,
you
know
what
I
mean).
*
The
butter
chicken
sauce
is
sooooo
salty.
While
the
chicken
is
nicely
charred,
it
is
also
overcooked
and
dry.
Eating
it
with
rice
(instead
of
naan)
does
help
cut
some
of
the
saltiness,
but
even
then
the
flavor
is
unimpressive.
Having
had
a
lot
of
very
good
Indian
food,
I
was
hoping
to
find
Desi
Dhaaba
to
be
a
little
gem,
but
I
was
sorely
disappointed.
We
are
still
on
the
lookout
for
a
good
Indian
restaurant
in
the
Lake
County
area.
