One of my favorite memory are dinners at Moti Mahal. It sounds exactly as it did so many years ago. I am so glad some things do not change, it was perfect. I remember also always buying jasmine blossom bracelet sold to the ladies before entering. I lived in India in the 1970′s as a teenager. One of my favorite memory are dinners at Moti Mahal.

I did not find the food bad per se. But it was not so divine either. I mean, I would not specifically go all the way to Daryaganj to visit that restaurant again, nor would I go there, even if I am in Daryaganj, on some other errand. I would not recommend it to others also. And about the hype of them being the inventors of butter chicken or tandoori chicken and whatnot... I would like to leave the matter open for discussion and speculation. No.. I did not find the food bad per se. But it was not so divine either.

If you found the food bad, I'd like to hear about that, or if the waiters' service was bad either before or after you tipped them, that would be interesting to know about as well. Otherwise your judgement comes across as unnecessarily harsh. Joey, I wouldn’t call a place “overrated” on the basis of a mere question between two waiters.
