My first real Indian meal. I had some really, really bad (as in spoilt, I'm guessing) Indian food back in NY on MacDougal (it's a buffet, so I shouldn't be too surprised), but my experience at Jamal's was great. The waiter was attentive and helpful when we had no idea what to order and was quick to suggest great compliments to our meal.

I haven't much experience with Indian food, so I can't be a thorough critic of the food, but I thought it was good and I'm pretty picky with what I eat.

We went here in a large group of twenty or more for a friends birthday, and as there was so much alcohol that night, I have hazy memories of the restaurant. They have a great policy whereby you can bring in your own drink - our tables were full of wine, beer, vodka, etc, with a few crates under the table too just in case we ran short. The food was pretty good I think, though with all that alcohol, anything would have tasted fine.
