Nathan and I have been trying to keep up with a date night once a week, to avoid us getting too busy for each other and to explore the numerous restaurants around Arlington without spending a million dollars by eating out every night.
This week we used a Groupon for Tandoori Nights, which is a delicious Indian-inspired restaurant in the Market Commons Clarendon. The Groupon was $20 for $40 worth of food and drink, which was the perfect amount for us. Nathan got the chicken curry and I got some vegetable cheese curry, and we both really liked them. Our total at the end of the night was $1.00!! I gave the guy a $10 tip.
The Cons:
- It's expensive. Both of us eating an entree and one of us having a drink totaled $41.00.
- It's loud. The restaurant itself is pretty loud and we were seated at a long table across from each other and in the middle of other couples, and we could not hear each other at all.
- Seating isn't level. I was sitting in a booth and he was in a chair, and the booth was so low I had to practically sit on my own feet to see over the table.
The Pros:
- It's delicious. My cheese/potato curry was good and Nathan's chicken curry was good (though he said it tasted a little bland)
- Service is pretty good. The guy kept asking us what we wanted, and we were so slow to decide he had to come back a few times!
- It's convenient. There's a parking garage right behind it and the Clarendon metro is three blocks away.
Overall, I would go back, but we like the Dehli Club down the street way better :)
