Chai was exactly the same as at Cedars and I love the Chai at Cedars. It's a little on the sweet side and just generally delicious. Not only was it bottomless, but I doubt I saw the middle of my cup. They are serious about the refills.

Dan, how was the chai - and was it bottomless?

I did go last night and it is exactly the same. I'd say the dining area at Cedars has slightly more intimate rooms, but same everything else.

Funny... I know they're sister restaurants, but I've never had any desire to go to Cedars. People always told me Taste of India was a little better. Will have to check it out sometime, and maybe put on some chai armor or something.

I didn't know this place was the same as Cedars, and I love Cedars. Exactly the same? Same food, same chai, same 18 billion water pourers? I think I'm going tonight.

i used to live a couple blocks away, and it was hard to not go there at least once a week.

Taste of India is the sister restaurant to the (in)famous Cedar's on 50th, and is consistently less busy but yet still somehow manages to cook up the exact same dishes and employee the same water-pushers and chai fillers, in addition to serving the same sweet tasty chai (for which they frustratingly refuse to pass along the recipe to!). So if you're feeling the pangs of addiction, you can alternate between the two locations just to mix things up a bit.
