better to eat dirt
Lemon Grass at Phoenix has gone down hill steadily, it was once good food which made its terribly messed up service palatable.
It is at a point now where they could actually get headless chickens to run the place and you could probably have a slight improvement.
We got in around 9pm on Sunday night and were seated.The place looks like a low end tiki bar, the seating is a little uncomfortable and the tables too close together.
We ordered a gin and tonic with lime cordial & we got the drinks, sans lime cordial. The waiter said he said he would be right back with it and left the tonic unopened.
After 5 mins of trying we got someone to get us the lime cordial and it took another 5 mins to get the tonic uncorked.
Onto the tibetan momos, they were ok but the home style dipping sauce sucked as did the hot sauce they had on the table. They had flies buzzing about and one of them kamakazied into our neighbors satay.
I really wanted the paneer satay but they refused to remove the broccoli from it (how hard is it to just remove it) so that was that.
the recommendation was the HK cahsewnut and paneer which was just awful, spicy and absolutely tasteless. the green curry was ill prepared, there was no flavor whatsoever, just fire. the hakka noodles were good (sad, for a Thai joint that)
If they had gotten their act together they could easily become a fav. too late now. never going back.
damage was 800

Good food...if it's on Time!
As a quick stop for a working lunch this place works really well. The place was buzzing with professionals and college students rubbing shoulders in a lively ambience. Being a working day, I was a bit surprised to see so many beer drinkers, with at least one at every table ;)
On to the food... we ordered some Tibetan Chicken momos and the crispy shredded chicken as starters - the shredded chicken did not come till after we finished our main course ... We had the Hunan chicken, fried rice and Haka noodles - the staple chinese dishes... All the food was tasty except the Hunan chicken which was mediocre.
Don't know why others had a problem with the service (or maybe they have taken steps to improve it), but we had no particular issues with the service except for turning back our starter that arrived after the meal ;) Aside from that, the wait staff seemed very pleasant and efficient and we actually got service with a smile :)
The damage was a very respectable Rs. 700 and will definitely go back here for what seems to be a dependable lunch spot near the office...

Pathetic Service
Food might be ok but service is a definite no no for this place. You will spend a lot of time waiting endlessly for wrong orders. Don't plan to go there ever again.

good food...bad service!
i have to give it up to lemon grass for good thai food. their red curry (veg) is the best i've had in bombay. but then, the bad service takes away some pleasure off of the good food.
we went there last evening (sunday) - 4 of us. the restaurant was packed. but there wasn't any waiting. we got a table in a reasonably decent time. however, the waiters look completely unorganized and demotivated. we had a total of 4-5 waiters serving and taking orders, in effect messing things up.
on almost 3 occasions, they brought us the same thing twice or brought the completely wrong thing. i don't know if they were distracted, not well paid, not well trained or what?!?! the owners definitely need to do their homework on that and get more professional staff.
too bad that i had to give it a 3/5 inspite of the food being good.
