After a godawful meal at Indian Sizzler on Main St in Newark (DE), we quietly beseeched the ever merciful Allah to roast the Bangladeshi jokers involved with this trashy Indian impostor in the fiery Tandoors of hell.
Folks, Indian Sizzler’s sole raison d’etre is to inflict hideous torture and grievous pain on your tender souls, your palate and, of course, on your wallet. 
Run by Bangladeshis, who previously managed a TCBY (an Yogurt chain) at the same location, Indian Sizzler is NOT an Indian restaurant notwithstanding its name.
At least, not an Indian restaurant that gave any joy to our Indian palate.
Indian Sizzler is a spice-neutered impostor, as fake as the Elvis impersonators with their long sideburns at the fairs.
Unlike these Bangladeshis, we’re Indians, grew up eating Indian food, know Indian food and passionately love the nonpareil Indian food.
What these Indian Sizzler bozos serve in the name of Indian food is nothing short of a shameful travesty and a cruel trick on unsuspecting diners.
Indian Sizzler Newark – Indian Food at its Worst
Rude Welcome at Indian Sizzler
As we walked into Indian Sizzler the other day, a middle-aged man (the owner??) came over and brusquely asked how many people and upon our response pointed to a corner and said, OK, you go shit (sic) there.
Unappetizing Appetizers
Both Vegetable Pakoras and Alu Tiki turned out to be disappointments.
Pakoras were cold and tasteless while Alu Tiki tasted yuck and came in the weird shape of a tiny ball instead of its usual patty form.
Horrid Vegetable Biryani
In several decades of eating Vegetable Biryani, we haven’t encountered one that was as pathetic as the Indian Sizzler version of this popular Indian dish.
Dry, without any of the enticing aroma or succulent flavor of Vegetable Biryani, this was no more than plain rice mixed with vegetables cooked with a little bit of chili powder.
Worse, it had peanuts as if it were Lemon Rice or Tamarind Rice.
Begun Borta (Baingan Barta) in a medium-thick gravy was a tasteless impostor that no self-respecting Indian restaurateur would place before paying diners.
Indian Sizzler – Run from the Impostor
Mixed Vegetable Curry was no more than a medley of boiled slices of carrots, tomato, beans and onion. Devoid of anything remotely resembling flavor.
But Cabbage Bazi was easily the most offensive of the vegetarian items we tried. A tasteless monstrosity, we cried after the first spoonful.
Even the humble Naan bread fell victim in the hands of these incompetent noobs. It was tasteless and too chewy. For good Naan bread, India Palace in Wilmington is da place.
Among all the vegetarian curries, the creamy Saag Mushroom rendered the least injury to our palate.
Serial Sadists @ Indian Sizzler
Let it not be said that the Indian Sizzler folks discriminate only against vegetarians.
Hell, no. These are equal opportunity sadistic fiends.
Tandoori Chicken suffered from inadequate or nil marination, was dry and tasted horrible.
Chicken Curry yielded not a scrap of comfort for it seemed as if the chicken pieces were added to the masala as an afterthought by a harebrained chef just before being rushed out of the kitchen.
When prepared well, Butter Chicken is usually a creamy delight that can melt the heart of even the devil. Alas, the Indian Sizzler version only served to get us into a high dudgeon. The chicken pieces were hard, and the gravy was so flavorless that we began to harbor doubts whether the restaurant’s kitchen was manned by humans.
Mercifully, the Sheek Kebab was a palatable exception amidst the endless Sahara of trashy food that came our way.
Ugly Gulab Jamuns
After stepping into so many potholes, we weren’t in the least bit surprised that the humble Gulab Jamun dessert should also be a catastrophe, both in terms of taste and in texture. It was hard and way too sweet.
Rice Pudding was creamy but, alas,a little short of sugar.
The Lunch Buffet includes a glass of fizzless Soda.
We saw diners taking their used plates to the buffet table to refill ‘em and the restaurant staff made no effort to stop them. A bad hygiene practice.
Guys, even if we were paid a million dollars we wouldn’t step into this trashy outpost of Indian Bangladeshi (??) cuisine again.
These Indian Sizzler fellas are clueless, remorseless buffoons who have no idea of the magic of Indian cuisine and engage in merciless, aggravated assaults on your taste-buds for the sake of a few coins.
SearchIndia.com strongly recommends that if you are passionate about good Indian food, Indian Sizzler is the last place on Earth you’d want to visit.

Do you guys give a damn for the Indian Premier League?
Its on for last 2 weeks!
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Nope, don’t give a damn.
To call it Indian Premier League is rubbish when we have so many foreign players in the teams. Just doesn’t bring out the patriotic gene in us.

If they serve such an awful food, where do they even get their customers? You write so bad about these restaurants, did you anytime encounter a situation where these resto owners tried to contact you and express their views?

1. You write: If they serve such an awful food, where do they even get their customers?
Most Americans are clueless about Indian food. And if one idiot blabbers something positive, then herd-like these lemmings will follow.
2. You write: did you anytime encounter a situation where these resto owners tried to contact you and express their views?
Are you kidding?
Of course, we’ve had encounters with ‘Indian’ restaurant owners.
One motherf*cker sent a White trailer-trash punk to our home to take our pictures in a threatening way.
Another motherf*cker threatened to sue us.
Another motherf*cker had his thugs intimidate us when we were eating at a restaurant.
Another motherf*cker threatened physical injury through his coolies.
But since the milk of human kindness overflows through our veins, we take a benign view of such actions.
3. Regarding Your video on Briptu Norman Kamaru.
Nice. Ah, the power of Bollywood.
Did you know that Chaiya Chaiya was the background score in the Denzel Washington movie The Inside Man when the opening credits were rolling.

“One motherf*cker sent a White trailer-trash punk to our home…. ”
How did they even know your address? How do they contact you?
“Another motherf*cker had his thugs intimidate us when we were eating at a restaurant”
Every time you eat, do you tell the restaurant people that you will be reviewing their food?
“Another motherf*cker threatened physical injury through his coolies.”
You didn’t even call the cops? How can they do it?
I would personally like to see an elaborate blog post on all your movie-type encounters. That will be a a fun thing to read
I did not watch Inside Man. But I have seen just the video of the opening credits with Chaiya Chaiya.

Of course not, we don’t tell the restaurants beforehand.
