Years ago they did not have their act together and the pricing was
totally unpredictable.   I swore never to go back, not necessarily
because the prices were too high, just that it was such a confusing
experience.

Same thing with Cedars, right down the street.  How exactly did
it work?  No one seemed to know.  It was like you could not
get what you wanted except by ordering a certain combination.

I have similar experiences in grocery stores with unmarked prices,
as well as personnel who have no idea what they are selling.
As in Q:  "This fish is marked as 'wild caught', but where is it from
and was it frozen?"  A: I dunno.

A few months ago, a Pakistani friend told me that this place had
straightened out its policies and procedures, but I haven't tried it
yet.

Today's lunch buffet at Bombay Brasserie (Rice Village) affirmed
that place as possibly my favorite Indian place.  And they are open
until 2:30 p.m.

NAYY
