Came in, I was expectin' a great meal and service (being it just opened after being suddenly out for 15 minutes).
Sat down anywhere I wanted, cool I thought. Over to my right was a group of hipsters ordering as we sit.
Hand over my passes as I casually glance around the ambiance of the restaurant, "Looks good."
Roughly 20 minute goes by before the first plate comes (samosas and the lamb). The samosas, small albeit, were fresh and crispy. Now the lamb, I'm pretty sure they microwaved it, or let it overcook and didn't time it properly. Either way, the abundance of spices helped masked the situation.
Decent still I think to myself, as I am waiting for the feast.
Shortly after, to my relief, comes the na'an and butter chicken. Stuporly, I glaze at the butter chicken. "Are these guys serious?" 4 pieces of chicken in a mini bowl just slightly bigger than a petri dish. I applaud the nice touch of the mini candle underneath to keep things hot, but seriously?
The bread was sizeable....in which I got full off that. Feeling hungry still, I stupidly have the butter chicken sauce as soup. Not bad.... but not what I expected.
Overall, if i knew I was going to get f'ed, I would have got some lube. I commend the place on some good flavour profile, but their execution with VANEATS was the disappointment. Maybe that's why this restaurant teamed up with VANEATS..or who knows? All I know is, I won't be going to Palki nor trying new stuff at VANEATS.
Gym time.

Judging by the date you posted this i presume you went on the last day the palki vaneat voucher was valid.
I went earlier in the day on the last day as well and i found everything to be good, especially the lamb. Butter chicken had more then plenty of pieces and it was ok nothing too crazy. I shouldof ordered a side of rice as well to go with it but overall i thought it was a good deal.
Seems like everyone who was there had the same vaneat deal and my only complaint was that it took 20~25 minutes for my food even though the restraunt was only half full. By the time i left the place was preety packed presumly with everyone trying to use their voucher.
I came in hungry and left full, overall its a preety nice place to bring a date too and they got this one killer table with couches
+ i was also able to watch the stanley cup finals so that was a bonus.
