“Our Easter trip to San Diego”

We had seen the reviews and awards for The Star of India and were looking forward to eating there. We were very disappointed. Maybe the fact that the place was empty at 6.00 pm midweek should have been some sort of warning to us! One onion bhaiji starter was merely a handful of onion strips deep fried in batter without any apparent spice addition. We then ordered two chicken based dishes which had just about the worst chicken quality we have ever had! Although the accompanying sauces was reasonable, the meat was basically scraps of grisly underbelly. We left almost most of both our meals and complained. We got some reduction from the bill, but had we more energy and will at the time, we would would have queried the whole bill really.

As curry lovers from the UK, we felt that the place would have gone bust within the month in our corner of the north of England, where we really know and love quality curry dishes. Aviod; seriously!

When we go Downtown, we usually eat at Monsoon on 4th but last night decided to give the Star of India a try as we often order carry outs from our local restaurant with the same name (part of the same chain?)

My advice? Don't eat there.

The service was fast and friendly but the food was extremely 'average', restaurant small and cramped and the bathroom was very basic.

We didn't really push the boat out but the bill, with tip and tax, was almost $100. It wasn't worth the money.

They had a City Guide Best in SD 2007 sign prominently displayed. There are a number of Star of India restaurants in San Diego and I wonder if the award is based on experiences at other locations? Certainly not this one.

Monsoon is located directly around the corner and has more lavish surroundings. It might be slightly more expensive but the food is always consistently excellent and bathrooms what you would expect from a top restaurant! We will be going back there in future.
