Gandhi in Las Vegas

Gandhi- Vegas
It was a sunny saturday in vegas when we decided to pack out bags, leave the casinos and hit the road to Grand Canyon. Sure enough, we wanted to have some fulfilling Indian food. We made the decision to eat in Gandhi Indian Cuisine and head out.

Name: Gandhi Indian Restaurant
Style of Cuisine: Indian
Time of Visit: September 2008
Location: Near Flamingo Casino, Vegas
Cost of Lunch/Couple: Under $50

I have been to Gandhi before with my friends when I was a Grad Student visiting Vegas. But it was a huge difference in taste and presentation. I didnt see any crowd except for a family of four, a family of three and me and my wife. We could see that Buffet was being advertised so we went straight to grab a plate.

One look at the table and I felt that the food didnt look appetizing. I decided to try roti, aloo gobi, iddli and sambar.
One bite into the idli and it felt cold, dry around the edges and slightly bitter. Coconut Chutney was also cold and slightly tasting like tamarind. Aloo gobi didnt have the flavor combinations working well. I ditched both dishes and grabbed another plate and dived into rice with channa masala and dhal. Still not upto the standard of a restaurant in a place like vegas. Within 10 minutes we were out of the place. The last time I checked it out was in 2002, so I can imagine the change in taste and serving. I dont know if the taste has improved so check again before visiting. If your visit had some good dishes served during lunch/dinner, let me know and I will add your review also.
