\"Table
\nTable by Rang Mahal is the less expensive branch\u00a0of Rang Mahal, like Miu Miu from the more costly Prada. The $15 set lunch menu<\/strong> calls the food “bento sets,” implying 2 things. Firstly, side dishes are fixed: dal, red-and-brown rice, gobi matter (cauliflower) and a choice of 5-grain tandoori or naan.<\/strong> The choice comes from the main ingredient: pick one from chicken tikka<\/strong>, OR Malmali Seekh kebab<\/strong>, OR tandoori mushroom<\/strong> (vegetarian), OR tandoori paneer tikka<\/strong> (vegetarian).<\/p>\n

\"Table<\/p>\n

The chicken tikka<\/strong> looked dry but was tender and smoky, very delicious. The kebab<\/strong> was OK, nothing amiss. Both meats came sparse.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Table<\/p>\n

The second and less obvious thing about calling Indian food “bento” is that the food is targeted towards an international crowd<\/strong>. This means the food uses less spices and is compromised. When I eat Indian food, I want to experience the complexity of spices, I want full-throttle, no-holds-barred spice, nice and everything in between. I didn’t get this satisfaction from Table.<\/p>\n

\"Table
\nYou may order from the a la carte menu<\/strong>, which is all carbs, carbs, carbs. We added 2 desserts<\/strong> instead: rasmalai\u00a0<\/strong>($9), which is what I’d imagine Chinese white cakes \u767d\u997c soaked in reduced cardomon-flavored milk with a goat-cheese aftertaste taste like; and table pop<\/strong> ($11), a mild sugarfree coconut popsicle with raspberry bits and chia seeds. Pretty and pretty fragrant but pricing it at $11 for frozen coconut juice is ridiculous.<\/p>\n

The decor<\/strong> is gorgeous, with those silver little things above the bar, shimmering like a school of fish in an ocean. The service<\/strong> was exceptional, efficient and friendly. But I need passion in my Indian food and I got no loving here. I haven’t eaten at the posh Rang Mahal yet, but after this, I’m having doubts. We paid $60 for two.<\/strong><\/p>\n
