I would never go back...

I'll preface this by saying I'm not Indian, so maybe I just don't understand, but the food was not appetizing at all. The menu is very slim and basically their "specialties" are an Indian version of a quesadilla. So, for $12, you get a quesadilla with chickpeas in it? They were also very dry, so you had to drench them in yogurt sauce in order not to choke on them. The only thing we liked was the curry that was delivered with the "quesadilla".

In addition to this, the ambiance was not good AT ALL. The waitstaff seemed to not be managed by anyone. They were blaring rock music from a CD that was skipping and it was so loud that I even made a joke about how "Indian" the music sounded (which it wasn't) and they thought it was funny and turned it up. There were flies around our table and I just didn't get a sense that it was really clean.

In any case, we won't be back. I'd rather drive over the bridge and go for Indian that I know will be good every time.

• Pros: Can't think of any pros
• Cons: Limited menu, not tasty food, bad ambiance

Preets is hands down the best Indian food in the Western US.

Though Preets is a vegetarian restaurant, you will still love it even if you love meat. The food is delicious and cheap. I recommend the mulai kofta, as well as the daal and palak paneer. The appetizers are also very good as well. The waitstaff is friendly and do the best that they can given how few waiters there are for that many tables. When it's really busy there can be a bit of a wait, but most of the time it's nothing but speedy and efficient service. Some people have complained about the required tip for parties of 5 or more. I would just like to point out that that is common to most restaurants, and it's important to tip for any service (great or mediocre) because it's courteous and that is how these busy waiters and waitresses make money. I always recommend this restaurant to my friends. Meat loves, die-hard vegetarians and even some of my Indian friends have sworn by Preets. Go!

• Pros: Food, price
• Cons: not a lot of tables for busy nights
