And just plain old "chicken curry" isn't on the menu at all. The menu doesn't say if any of the entrees come with papadam or not. And $9 for khir (rice pudding)? That's insane. Also I've never been to any Indian restaurant that served beef. That seems pretty bizarre.
I just checked it as well. Insanely high prices. If you find yourself in Clermont, try Persis instead. Food is good. Not weak portions like some ther places around and prices a little closer to what I'd expect. I can't speak to the papadam (I don't recall getting any), because I'm not a big fan so it never enters my consciousness. My son, on the other hand, loves the stuff...but he's not here.
