Great food but the service could be better

by TravelBug3

I am a regular at Chutneys and I absolutely love the food. The service is a little slow at times but the food is definitely worth it. The Burg Mahar is fantastic and I love how you can order it customized to the level of hotness you want.

• Pros: Customize the level of spice in your dishes
• Cons: Service is slow

decent food bad service

by spectacularj1

The food was ok, no real complaints there. The waiter was aloof and inattentive. I ordered vindaloo which is a curry. In most restaurants you go to a curry comes with rice with no extra charge since the curry itself is just a sauce. At Chutneys I was brought a side of rice (a small side of rice at that), no problem there until my bill arrived. $2 for the rice. It was not mentioned anywhere on the menu that rice was extra nor was I asked if I wanted rice along with the meal.

Bottom line, the service is terrible, see the other reviews, I'm not the only one that feels this way. Go to other restaurants in the Eastside, their food is just as good and they actually appreciate your business.

• Pros: decent vindaloo
• Cons: service

MY CHOICE FOR RESTAURANT OF THE YEAR

by jennysal

Had a satisfying meal in a classy restaurant after a long time .The attentive service ,the food and ambiance were a class act.,despite being short staffed,everything was so lovely.

The owner does get a bit touchy feeley,and just parties with friends while the waiters strive to deliver.The chef has a magic touch.

• Pros: the staff ,simply adorable.
• Cons: Short of wait staff.
