Like Bon Vivant, I had higher expectations because the Habibi Cafe is so good.We tried it because of a Groupon deal.Even with the deal, it was way overpriced for the quality (flavour, presentation, quantity).Food was ok, nothing to complain about but not worth returning either.We had butter chicken, saag paneer and an eggplant dish (can't remember the name of it), rice and naan plus 2 draft and 3 bottled beers.Another thing:We had a reservation for 7, but I was a bit early.I tried to order a dri
We tried it because of a Groupon deal.
Even with the deal, it was way overpriced for the quality (flavour, presentation, quantity).
Food was ok, nothing to complain about but not worth returning either.
We had butter chicken, saag paneer and an eggplant dish (can't remember the name of it), rice and naan plus 2 draft and 3 bottled beers.
Another thing:
We had a reservation for 7, but I was a bit early.
I tried to order a drink but the server said the bartender wasn't there so I couldn't order yet.
He didn't come back until around 7 - guess what? Too late for happy hour!
I asked if they did frozen margaritas, and the server didn't know what that meant.
She went back and asked the bartender, and returned with "yes, no problem - frozen margaritas ok."
So I ordered a frozen mango margarita, which arrived in a suspicious watery slush state with a slice of mango garnish.
It tasted mostly like orange juice with a splash of alcohol, not mixed.
Definitely not a margarita and no mango flavour in the drink itself either.
Sent it back and stuck with beer afterwards.
Bill was still nearly $500 AFTER the $240 was deducted for the Groupon.
If you want Indian, I would forget Rana Raj and head to Bombay Dreams on 4F in the same building.
