content: oooohh i'm teetering on a 5 star review...we'll see how that pans out. I arrived for dinner at MTR around 530PM yesterday and the place was full, with no indoor seating left. I sat outside, somewhat reluctantly because christ it is cold outside and i thought this was arizona and i would be hot all the time but i wish i had a fleece jumpsuit right now...\n\nanyway. I went ahead and ordered the mandala masala, an indian inspired dinner with garbanzo beans, veggies and small-chopped potatoes over brown rice with a side of steamed spinach. The scents wafting out of the front door were just intoxicating, and when my dinner arrived it smelled equally as appetizing. The taste was on par, minus the dry flavorless brown rice that may have been a bit stale. I would say that $14 is a bit much for the size of the meal but on the whole I was satisfied. \n\nI ordered a piece of vegan chocolate raspberry cake for dessert and it was good enough to write a movie about. romantic comedy i mean. first off, it was huge and just...just...perfect...sigh. secondly, the frosting was that thick dense style, and it was the perfect frosting-to-cake ratio, with just that hint of raspberry glaze mixed in.  \n\nwell i couldn't talk this up to a 5 star rating, but I will eat as many slices of chocolate cake as it takes to get it there! (estimate: a whole cake)
