The food and service was excellent this time - mention this in particular because noticed a lot of welcoming improvements.... During my earlier visit a few months ago - the situation was not so good... Indeed had second thoughts to visit again but a friend recommended to try the place again - which is now under a new management.

Food is very good - great taste and I liked the ambiance of the place - Had been there before a few months back - at that time things were not so good - Now it seems - New management has taken over - and they really do justice to the name.

Gaylord Indian restaurant is tucked just one block off the main 15th Street throughway in Downtown Sacramento. This restaurant has vacillated between simply fantastic and absolutely elite since it opened. I am pleased to say that it is approaching elite status once again. My wife and I recently dined at Gaylord. We started with cocktails and an order of Naan. The Naan was perfectly hot with a soft center and that very slightly browned and crisp outer layer. It was brought out with a tamarind sauce and a very nice chili and mint sauce. Our meal proper consisted of Rice Pullao, Chicken Tikka Masala, Dal Makhani, Raita, and a Chef's special Chili Paneer--plus another order of Naan (this time Garlic Naan). One of Gaylord's four or five stars earned will always be for their excellent nuanced execution of basics like the just-so spiced Dal and the Rice with perfect consistency and the right amount of saffron flavor. The Chicken Tikka Masala was outstanding with a flavorful sauce that let the flavor of the large chunks of tender clay oven-roasted chicken come through. Gaylord takes this staple of Indian cuisine to new heights. You will not find Chili Paneer on the menu at Gaylord, but you've got to ask to try this house creation. Perfectly crafted cubes of farmers cheese with their slightly crisp shells and edges that give way their tender middles--very delicious and tossed in a sweet and spicy slightly sticky sauce--wow! This dish was explosive with sharply contrasting flavors and textures providing a counterpoint to our other dishes that were so elegantly nuanced. Gaylord is an intimate restaurant with a polished atmosphere. This restaurant is free of all gimmicks (no prints of the Taj Mahal). Without the slight scent of spice or the Indian music that is interspersed with a variety of other styles, you would not know that you were in an Indian restaurant. The staff is wonderful, but the food is the star. Gaylord in Sac is not to be missed!

Gaylord's used to be known as one of the best Indian food restaurants in town. Food was elegantly rich, ambiance soothing, a bit over priced compared to Katmandu - but worth it on a good date. Now that Gaylord's is under new management their customer's are fleeing. Their attempts to reduce price in offering $9.99 buffet lunch and buffet option on Monday evenings have encouraged new comers. But, loyal customers know...the food now fails miserably. Meat is tuff, sauce standard at best, it goes on. Furthermore, although waitresses are always kind and considerate, the new manager could care less about customers. He plays loud "dance" music and waters the food down which compromises quality considerably. When asked to change the music? I was told, we can't...the manager likes it. Gaylord still charges extra for Naan and rice ($4), which is absurd. Want good Indian food? Drive no less than a couple miles to Katmandu!

Having dined at Gaylords in Manchester, England and San Francisco, and several indian restaurants in London and here in Sacramento I was very disappointed with Gaylords here in Sac. They really should change their name, they do not come close to the standards of the other Gaylord Restaurants. The food was tasteless, the Daal soup was just spiced hot water, dinner was just warm when served, the lamb I had was so tough could not be eaten, my husbands 'prawns' were small pieces of shrimp meat and about 6 small pieces, we experienced flies flying around our food, but they didn't seem to care. Service was not bad but not great either.Only got through about 1/3rd and then left. I am sorry that I have to right such a harsh review I don't usually take the time, but I went on reputation of Gaylords and believe me this restaurant in Sac does not come close. Pros: None I can think of Cons: Food tasteless, barely warm when served. Sorry but I would not recommend this restaurant to any of my friends I value their friendship :-(
