I’ve noticed a pattern of non American food places changing their flavors over time especially in southern Asian cuisine. I guess since I was raised with some of these dishes as someone that has Pakistani relatives I am a bit more sensitive to when the flavors get toned down. 9 months ago I gave Zaan’s a 5/5 review the food and service were wonderful but with the most recent time I’ve been I’d lower it almost to a 1 star not just food wise but service as well. I usually order the same thing and at a higher spice level than my partner who can usually only take one to two bites of my food. This time my partner could consume the whole thing no problem even at the same spice level and he HAD to consume the whole thing as his food was basically inedible. For his food they refused to refund us or take it off the bill and let us order something different (you know something that is a standard for restaurants to do). It’s not like we ate it all and demanded a refund after there was a singular bite taken that’s how inedible we’re talking. To top it off they started clearing our table while we were still sitting there. Will not be going back anytime soon.

EDIT: I got a comment notif that looks like it was quickly deleted as I can’t access the full thing but it’s written like it was by a staff member there since they said “we” and YIKES. I don’t know how to add another image as I do have a screenshot but the comment preview that showed up is as follows “I mean dude (although both of you looked like ladies) on the table were only told that we will not exchang…” That’s where the comment preview ended. The responses to negative reviews on Google were already pretty unprofessional imo but yeah not the best look.
