"This used to be our go to place for many, many years. Since the remodel it’s gone downhill. The vibe is very sterile, bright, corporate, and uncomfortable. The food has gone downhill. My steak and my husband’s salmon were both under cooked on the bottom half and overcooked on the top half last time we went. This time the salmon was burnt and my steak definitely had very dark char marks. On the menu it makes it sound like a topping sauce comes with the steak and then they charge your $4 for it. Also most of the sides cost an upcharge as well. Then, they put the plates tipped on the tray so all the Marsala sauce was on my fettuccine Alfredo instead of the steak. The food is now mediocre and overpriced for the much smaller portions. My son barely ate any of his food and refused to take it home because he didn’t like the spaghetti and meatball. The service used to be 5 star, now it’s less than 2. We were seated promptly and there were maybe 5 other tables. It took us an hour to get our food after we ordered. Also, tables that were seated after us ate first and one that came in at the same time as us were leaving by the time we got our food. This last visit the waitress hid in the back almost the entire time. My water cup (and only drink) was empty most of my meal and the one time she filled it she only filled it half way. She forgot to put in our appetizer and was had to ask another employee about it. Our waitress then brought out our food, said she forgot to put the appetizer in, and asked if we wanted her to put our food under the warmer while they cooked and brought out our appetizer. Anybody who works in the food industry knows that food placed under the warmer slowly dies and loses its quality. It really upsets our family to see a place we used to love going to go down into the dumpster. We gave it another try after our first bad experience, and this last time was worse than before. Honestly, I’ve had better experiences at Olive Garden and we used to never eat there because this place was so amazing, even if it was more expensive."

"Decided to try a new Indian restaurant tonight. I went to try Kohinoor in Orem. It was busy so that was a good sign. Since it was packed, I justed wanted to do a to go order. But my first red flag should have been what the waiter said. I asked for a type of naan and he said that was too hard of a dish for the chef to make. What?!?!? Then why is it on the menu. The next thing he said really bug me and he said, oh, the chef is too busy to make that. Seriously?!?!? But hey, I want to at least try something to review tonight so I didn 't want to venture too far from the familiar. I ordered the Kohinoor Mix Kabob. It was the biggest chunks of chicken not in a kabob style at all. The lamb you can see shriveled up on the left which looked like some sort of ground lamb sausage instead of a cubed piece of meat. The chicken tandoori and chicken tikka could have been cut in quarters from the pieces that I got. The shrimp was good and the chicken was a bit dry. The chicken tikka masala, well, I asked for very hot. Compared to India Palace 's spice level it would be a 5 or mild there. Also why was it so sweet? The chicken in this was completely dried out. The sauce helped a bit, but a chunk of dried chicken instantly kills the palette. I was very disappointed, but I don 't waste food, so I have some disappointing leftovers for tomorrow. Would I come back? Probably not, maybe I 'll give them 6-8 months to get things in order and hopefully the chef knows how to cook everything by then. The garlic naan is alright. Barely any garlic flavor to it at all. The rice they gave me enough to feed a few people. Good thing rice is my staple. At least they got the rice right. #thisishowichow @kohinoor_orem"
