Had a pretty ordinary lunch here. Started with fish pakoras. I was alarmed that they emerged from the kitchen in under a minute from the time I ordered them. My panic must have been visible because they went to some lengths to assure me that the kitchen had just been frying up a batch when I ordered. Mine were certainly fresh, if greasy, but the question still lingers: why were they frying them before an order was placed? There were people at only two other tables and neither got these pakoras when I got mine.
I followed with a masala dosa. The crepe was overly thick and limp, and underly fermented. The filling and accompanying sambhar were both bland. The coconut chutney was oddly minty. Nothing was really bad, but nothing was particularly good.

We've now been to RIB about a dozen times and I have never had a bad meal. We haven't had the dosa so I can't comment, but the basil naan and coconut chicken are out of this world. I had a really nice Pimms cup there a few weeks ago, too. Hmmm...maybe that's what's for dinner tonight...

Yes, we went on opening night, and were the only ones there at the time. (Another party came in as we were leaving.) The food was quite good, and the staff were very friendly and solicitous of feedback. They didn't have their liquor license yet when we were there, but I believe they're at least getting beer and wine soon. A great addition to downtown Lex!
