Okay, real time review: I went to D'Guru this afternoon not only craving Indian food, but at the suggestion of a co-worker and partially because of the reviews here. What I should have implored was my more sound judgment when it comes to obtaining accurate information. Usually, I trust the opinions of a few Yelpers that have rarely led me astray, having become trusted because I share very similar opinions on almost every spot we've dined in common, yet never together. Clearly, this time, having forgone that step, I am sad to admit that I am more disappointed in myself than with the lack luster food.
The shrimp curry was flavorless and borderline inedible. I'm not even sure if that was shrimp come to think of it. I mean, it looked like shrimp but it just fell off the tail and tasted something like cat food; yes, I've eaten cat food! Typical to most Indian restaurants in the United States, Guru has catered to the masses of babies who can not handle a little spicy food. The sauce is bland!
Also, this is not even naan. I'm not sure what sort of bread this is, but I can tell you that it's straight up crap! It's most likely frozen, bulk factory made garbage that passes as naan to people who don't know what real Indian food is supposed to taste like.
For the value, I suppose $10 is the going rate for lunch downtown (good or not), but I was really hoping for a taste of home. I've been spoiled by my other two favorite spots so until one of my trusted sources can provide me with a credible tip on the next good Indian spot, it's gonna be just those two at the top. D'Guru doesn't even come close to comparing, although it smells okay, but that's not why we eat food now is it?
