Best Restaurants for Creative Cuisine in Petworth

Can't comment on the tacos because I wasn't looking for the tacos. An excellent special queso fundido and the pato con hoisin mole was outstanding. Whoever commented that the food was bland must have eaten elsewhere. Only complaint was that the main course came out too fast.

Our waiter was not very attentive. We saw him when he brought the drinks, food, and bill.

I love it when an Indian restaurant's menu offers more than the usual dishes, and that's the case at Masala Arts. Very tasty stuff!

Wonderful service and food. Really love the ambiance and the quality. Only down side was the 5% charge added to the bill, notated as NOT a tip but a service charge due to increasing cost to run the business. As a business owner myself I would not charge a fee rather if you need more money just charge more for your items. We tip 20% minimum everywhere we go but to be charged an extra 5% on top of the bill seems strange. Some people will just leave when they see that. I guess I appreciate the honesty however considering the menus are printed daily at this restaurant they could just raise the prices and then no one would be aware or need to know about the extra "we're hurting and business is tough" charge. Again - I own businesses. I understand. It's been rough the past two years.

I always enjoy lunch at Mazi: food is great, staff is attentive and friendly, the seats are comfortable, and the noise level is generally low enough with the seats spaced well apart to have a quiet conversation without straining to hear.
