Taste of India today. Busy, busy, busy..

Buffet -- good way to try a few things for my son who had never had Indian.

Will try Nirlap next time.

Why is every time I travel to that side of 17 traffic is worse than anything I ever see on my side of 17.

We've been there as my husband works near it. We like it a lot more than Nirlep and will keep going there. It's called Bombay's Bazaar.

Ah yes the one in No. Chas. Bombay's Bazaar... rings a bell now

Question... do you mean you go to that one BB or to Taste of India and like that better than Nirlep ?

We went to BB once and was dark.. ok lighting does not matter... but food was cold.. only 1 other table was occupied

We visit the Bombay grocery, but we don't like the Bombay Restaurant.

We like Bombay's. It's our favorite. Much better than Nirlep. Our food's always been great at BB.

We had Restaurant Week fare at Burton's Grill tonight. Yum! My youngest had the Cioppino, and even though he was sure he wasn't hungry enough to get past the she crab soup app, he ate every bite. Every single food item on the table was terrific. Even at 9pm it was very crowded, but our waiter still managed perfect service.

Downtown Charleston was jumping tonight! Carolina's very good. Would love to go back in nicer weather and then take a walk in the Battery or at Waterfront Park.

Michael- we've done 82 Queen for Sunday brunch a few times and really enjoyed it, haven't made it in for dinner yet. The portions are large and the food is rich, so if that's your thing you'll love it. We always go for a long walk afterward. Their she-crab soup is the best in Charleston 10 years running (from what they tell me) and it is awesome.

We did Hall's last weekend for the 2nd time and it was incredbile. The bill was huge, but if you cut out things like a 2nd bottle of wine, truffle butter, an app then it's not too bad and worth it.

We did McCrady's for Christmas and had a wonderful time. Food, ambiance, staff...everything was great.

With all of these places they make you feel welcome and well attended but never rushed.

At the top of our to try list is FIG, Husk, Tristan's, Fulton Five and SNOB.

Oh and our favorite place for a drink and small bite is Bin 152.

Thanks.......... great post and info

Will use it as we consider places to take our CT company in April

Means we will have to check them out ourselves

Update on Nirlap... tried it again after reading the positives here but again not appetizing .. going back to Taste of India

I think an Indian rest. downtown would be great.. something different... but not really for the crowd, tourists who want 'Southern Cooking' while there.
But might be good for the locales.. but is that enough for downtown rental rates

I can dream can't I
