I love Indian food. I think I could eat it everyday. I think I did eat it everyday at one point. And so I've noticed the lack of Indian cuisine in Omaha. Only a handful of places, and they seem overpriced and kinda out of your way. Located in a chic little shack way too close to the street, I guess Mother India did remind me a little of a curry house in London, but minus the charm. We went on your average Tuesday and it took 40 minutes from the time we sat down to the time we got our food. So as the clock ticked along we got more skeptical of the food, thinking it would obviously be crap. Well, it wasn't. The Vegetable Samosas were expertly fried, and the mint chutney was delicious. The Vegetable Curry had just the right amount of heat and spice, and the rice was soft and flavorful, and not dry like some Indian-style basmati can be. So this place gets a D in ambiance and service and an A in flavor... though I do wish they'd beef up their choice of vegetarian dishes and chill out on the beef. Guess we are in Nebraska huh.

Their rice... the scent alone... worth the trip. Their butter chicken would be my last meal.
