Nanorestaurant Review: Jay's Indian (Basel)
We weren't impressed, but then our standards for Indian are pretty high.
- Food: acceptable, but overpriced. When they tried to get fancy/creative it didn't really work
- Service: ok
- Atmosphere: not so great - despite having a reservation we were stuck sharing a 4-top with another couple. They were irritating and she smoked. The room was nice though.

you cannot make everybody happy my friend:-)))
Hope you really come down with your expectations

probably a troll, but I'll bite anyway.
You definitely can't make everyone happy and serving a broad audience requires some compromise (particularly when serving a highly spiced cuisine in a place where people aren't necessarily used to it). And some people will inevitably find the compromises wrong. No argument from me there.
That said, I'm certainly not planning on lowering my expectations (and I think it's a funny thing for a "food person" to suggest); if I want Indian that matches what Andrea and I are expecting, I'll just learn to do it myself (ingredients are not too much of a problem in Basel). We'll still keep hoping to find a great restaurant though...
