The food was great, but the service was poor. We waited 30 minutes before our order was taken and then one hour before the food came. They forgot to bring the wine. We had to get the attention of the server several times. The owner would not honor my open table reservations and cancelled it after I was there resulting in lost points. Very argumentative owner/manager.
Cons: Service

After my last experience at New Mother India, I will likely never go back. I am surprised to see such rave reviews, honestly. I had some of the worst service in my life there last night. We wanted a nice dinner, and we wound up spending two hours there...not because we wanted to, but because our waiter came at half hour intervals! We got the dinner for two, and they didn't bring us certain items that were supposed to come with the meal. Our waiter was a real sour-puss, answering us in monosyllabic grunts. When we asked to take the rest of our food home, we were dismayed when we got home to see that they didn't even pack up all of the food. I don't know why the service was so poor, because it wasn't even too busy. As for the food? The food is very good, but no better than the other places on Moody Street...but it's more expensive and its portions are significantly smaller. I'll be going to the other restaurants on Moody Street from now on. Better service, better prices, and large portions.
Pros: Good food, nice decor
Cons: Expensive, poor value, terrible service
