This is the worst Indian cuisine I've ever tried. I am Indian, and I have traveled extensively. The food here is rancid. There is so much oil that it layers out onto the top of the food dish. The chef feels like the extra oil "enhances the flavor of the food." We ordered chicken makhni and the sauce...
Horrible Indian food! Super-expensive, poor staff. Have had much better Indian food before. Charged my card twice.
I'm trying to understand how one person gave this place 2 stars, that's a compliment for them! Overpriced, underquality, I as well did not eat my food and wish I had seen the reviews here before I went. Don't eat here, maybe something good will replace it after they deservingly go out of business....
Ivey's used to be a regular dining experience when I was younger. I placed a take out order today for 2 salads and a BLT. The dressing was not included. The BLT was cold and bland. The orange with the sandwich was good, and the salad items were fresh. The $$ was significantly higher than expected...
The plates were dirty, the chicken was undercooked and the manager was unapologetic. I definitely do not recommend this restaurant unless you prefer lots of low quality food. The meal was bland (chicken florentine) although there was enough food for three meals. The waitress was fairly nice, but ...
I will not tolerate a waiter calling me a liar and going all the way to prove me wrong when I was right. The food was awfully late, plain and simple.
The pad thai had moldy sprouts in it. when the cook was informed she became hostile and slammed the dish on the table and yelled at our party. Completely horrible experience.
This place is ridiculous. Take note we went on a week night. You walk in and see this giant hand written note about how on weekends the wait can be up to 2 hrs. We thought no worries it's a week night. It took the hostess/waitress 10min to come out to seat us. She was rude the whole time with a frow...
If you like greasy dark meat chicken then you have found the place you would like. But if you like white meat (breasts & wings) you won't find any here on their buffet.

Very good service!!! Any other truckers out there traveling Interstate 75, and have a craving for sushi, this is the place to call. I took the exit ramp 382, parked on the shoulder, called in my order, and was eating sushi within 20 mins. That's what you call CURB service. Try the Crunchy Rolls.......

I cannot believe the service that I was given at this restaurant. We were sitting at the table for over 15 min before anyone came to get our drinks. After we got our drinks it was another 10 min before she came to take our order. I ordered a French dip sandwich (roast beef and melted cheese) and ...

No one answered, automated voice said thankyou for holding, someone will be right with you, and NO ONE ever picked up...as a manager of a resturaunt in Gainesville, I am very unhappy. Our drivers will not treat customers and mislead them as Hungry howies has done tonight.

Awesome catering and delivery service. They take real pride in the quality and presentation of their food. That's hard to find in town.

Well, I wish any of their 3 locations would answer the phone so I could place an order to go. I've tried calling all the restaurants (it's Wednesday at 6:15 pm) and nobody answers!

The restaurant and the food was just horrible!! Have been to many Indian restaurants but this one was the worst of all. I doubt if it is even Indian! More like an uncivilized food from Afghanistan or something! More than likely the food was frozen and just microwaved, unevenly warm and cold on the i...

I've been going to Calico Jacks in Gainesville for over ten years. Back in the day they ROCKED. BUT Every time I go there they get worse and worse. The last three times I went it was so bad it was amazing. Sad to say I no longer eat there. I have a lot of good memories eating at CJ's with friends a...
