The Indian Night

I was around the San Fernando Cathedral area and spotted this Indian restaurant. I noticed how the prices were inexpensive and they had pretty great reviews. Once walking inside you can see that theres definitely no frills. They had mostly people doing take out here instead of dining in. Foodwise, I got the mixed grill which had three proteins such as lamb and chicken. Also ordered basmati rice on the side and two portions of butter and garlic Naan. All were very tasty. Great portion size too.

Service was passable. Food was okay. The atmosphere reminded me of a takeout place. The food was a little expensive for the portion size. 2 samosas was $5, $8 with meat. The butter chicken we got was great but again the portions were rather small. We also got the goat biryanis which was a little salty for my taste, but the portion was a little better. The butter and garlic naan was probably the best. All of this cost around $70. Side note there is no spice level which kind of threw me off. Okay Indian food at tourist prices.

If you want authentic, don't come here. Ordered tiki masala and was served what I could only call on its best day, tomato soup. Wasn't asked a spice level. Small portions, over priced.Hoped the place next to my apartment would have been better.

The food and service were over the top. I have to have Chicken Tika Masala when I try a new Indian place, theirs ranks 5 out of 5 stars. The sauce was plentiful and full of flavor, the chicken was tender and tasty, some places it's a little dry, not here! I was asked how spicy I wanted it, I Like that alot, since I share with my wife, medium heat was required. The garlic naan was just right and was enhanced being dipped into the masala sauce. The veggie samosas were large and very tasty, lot's of veggie filling inside a nice crisp crust. We tried a "new to us" item, a veggie pakora, onion to be exact, onion Bujia......where has this been all my life?! Yum. A short walk from our hotel led us to Indian cuisine nirvana.

This was a nice casual Indian restaurant right in the heart of the tourist district, just a block or two off the riverwalk. Pricing is great. It was quiet. Food quality was good (not great), and service was fine (pretty hands-off, which was fine). Our party had a variety of entrees, naan, and mango lassi.

Very unassuming little lunch spot, but the service was fantastic and the food was great! A little pricer than I'd expect though - 2 entrees, two drinks and a dessert for $75.

I'd been to The Indian Night during my last trip to San Antonio and had a great meal, so I was excited to return this time. Unfortunately, the quality seems to have gone way downhill. The first issue was when I was seated and given water, the glass was very dirty. I asked for a clean glass, and they brought out a disposable plastic cup. I guess all the glasses were dirty?The food was also not nearly as good as the last time I was here. The samosas were dry and came with only one chutney in a squeeze bottle, which didn't look good. The naan was flat. The chicken korma I ordered was decently flavored, but the chicken itself was overcooked. I'm disappointed because the food was so good earlier this year. Hopefully they can turn things around.

I will never step foot into this restaurant ever again. I don't say this often TBH. I give businesses the benefit of the doubt whenever I can. Not tonight. We go in. We get a seat, and then we go to the counter to order. We start to order, get cut off by a woman (manager) who talks about another order to the gentleman manning the ordering station. I start to order, and then the gentleman tells me to stop. I ask him if there was an issue, he said there was nowhere to seat us. I told him we were seated and were ready to order as we had heard such wonderful things about Indian Night. He said we could not order. I asked him why, he said because they were busy and had nowhere to seat us. I told him we had a seat and were so looking forward to eating their delicious food. He told me no. He would not put in our order. I asked him, "Are you telling me you will not serve us?" He said, "Yes."He then took the order from the people behind us. We were not drunk. We were not rude, I promise. We were respectful and kind, we had a seat, and he told us he would not serve us because they were busy. There are 100 ways to tell us the wait was going to be long, but instead he told us he would not serve us. I will never give this establishment our hard earned money. We always treat others with respect, but when we are not met with even 50% the same amount of respect? We will spend our money elsewhere.

We were staying on the Riverwalk and really wanted Indian Food, so we decided to try Indian Night. The place is small and casual but it was clean and the service was good. We got 3 dishes: Butter Chicken, Paneer Tikka Masala, and Chicken Tikka Masala. The dishes each came with rice and it was enough food for four of us. We liked all of the dishes but the standout was definitely the Butter Chicken, it had amazing flavor with just a touch of sweetness. We also ordered Garlic Naan and Cheese Naan, both of which were excellent.

I had visited this restaurant two years ago and had been excited to come back and try this place again and was very disappointed. $60 for two orders of veggies samosas. That was 4 in a glass bowl, then given paper bowls you get at a gas station for your wings in to eat our samosas in. Fine we didn't say anything. Ate our samosas but never received our bottled water. Fine spouse got up to ask for the bottle water. Then 20 minutes later our chicken tandoori comes out 6 pieces on a dish with a side bowl of garlic naan. The chicken were the size of chicken wings (3 legs and 3 thighs). The legs were the size of the wings you get at wing stop, not even over exaggerating. We never got the rice that the man taking our order said came with the meal. So we sat there waiting thinking he would bring maybe the cook was still cooking it? Nope. The man taking orders was just pure lazy and rude dragging his feet as he walked with his crocs on and sat behind the counter eating his food. Fine. Just ate the chicken and naan and my spouse got up to pay and we left and tried to finish our night on a positive note somewhere else. It wasn't till I saw how much my spouse paid for the food till I decided to leave this review. $60.For 4 veggie samosas two bottle waters, one order of garlic naan and the plat of tandoori chicken. Now I wish I really had taken pics to help other people save their money and time and chose elsewhere. I will not return obviously which is disappointing since it was one of the main reasons why we came to San Antonio for our anniversary. Note I did leave an awesome review our first visit, experience. I guess these must be new owners or new management.
