Yabba Dhaba Doo!
Oh my God! what a hip place. Believe me folks, this place rocks like anything. I have been to 309 Dhaba for their lunch buffet and was already quite impressed with the quality and variety they serve. Lately I was invited by my sister's lawyers' friends for the stag. After few drinks and fun in Jamie's basement, the plan was to conquer Dhaba for some good seafood starters and then some decent Italian dinner in the area, cant say the name guys ...ha ha!
What actually happened on showing interest in seafood items, our server suggested to go for the "seafood" fixed menu. Guess what ppl, as a white guy I was chicken to try seafood in an Indian restaurant, but it blew our expectations away. This was probably the best seafood tasting in my entire life - and I mean LIFE; and I mean it when I say it. We luckily had Chef PK come out, as they do not offer seafood prixe fixed menu. We were told that chef PK had some samples of baby octupus and we were very keen to go ahead and try it. He brought the baby octupus in two ways; first, with some green sweet and spicy sauce (some kind of chutney I suppose), and it was sooo good, it tempted us to say yes to the whole fixed menu, which was a tag of $75 per person. We were not daring to go farther than beer on the drinks, we kept it light. The second round was a sort of woody smokey crab accompanied by some kind of prawn (maybe spanish?). It was a colourful plate with some greens in the center; white tipped asparagus and some tangy, tasty beet salad. After that we were hypnotized. What the heck, I said that I'm staying put and not going ANYWHERE haha! We all agreed and decided to stay in our seats and grab some more grub. Every bite in every course was WOW and to sum it up we were all happy and overwhelmed that we could have not dreamed of better food than yabba Dhaba!

Problems: Overpriced, everything tasted sour, and didn't taste all that great at all.

IMO nearby Kama is much better tasting, and the service was for the most part better.

This is the worst dining experience I've had in a long time. Seriously... the food was mediocre, but the staff members were incredibly rude an inattentive. I ordered my meal, and they didn't even bring the complete meal. When I asked them for the rest of it they acted like it was a bother. There were 3 different parts they didn't bring. It was atrocious, they didn't even bring hot water and sugar for my tea! Don't ever go.. seriously. Try somewhere else.
