It boils down to this - food was good - service was AWFUL - night club was fun. It was my roommate's girlfriend's birthday. We went for dinner and then to hang out at restaurant turned lounge. For dinner I had the Chicken Malai Makhni (chicken in a masala type sauce) and ordered the Daal appetizer (which I know I clearly said). Before I knew it, the entrees arrived and I asked what happened to my Daal - the waiter wrote me down for having two entrees? wtf? Who normally orders two entrees? I told them to take it back - I wasn't about to pay quadruple for a 'supposed to be' appetizer that was their mistake. My friends decide to go ahead and keep it at the table to share. Even though I didn't want to like it, the Daal was tasty. We all wanted to eat our food with naan as well - I common item to eat with Indian food. They forgot the order and our meals got cold while waiting! We all tried some of our dishes, but didn't want to have a empty plate and a basket of naan - argh. I hate righting a review that is more about the shitty service than the food. I just moved my rating from 3 to 2 stars. You would think a place like Earth would be better with the things that either really make or break an experience - guess not. The night club was cool - I liked the belly dancer. She danced around balancing a plate of candles on her head - kinda cool. The music was fun and contrary to some of the other reviews - the DJ did a nice job mixing and beat matching. It's EXPENSIVE in pretentious sort of way. If I came in from the mid-west without ever having been in NYC before and came to Earth, I would just the write the cost of as 'well, that's NYC for ya.' Knowing the town and what is available, the prices doesn't add up. I have paid less for ten times better experiences. I don't know that I will be back - plenty of other places to get good Indian food and dance where I know the service wont completely suck.

I love this place!!! I celebrated my 26th Bday here last year!!! None of my friends got a problem getting in....all 30+ people that showed up. This place is seriously getting known right now. I first went here for Thanksgiving Eve a few years ago and told myself that I gotta go back. Place is really nice and classy!! Security was pretty strict but sometimes its worth it to keep everything in order. They let men in sneakers in which I didn't know about which was cool. There are many rooms to go to and dance in. There's a lounge area where you can hold a better conversation with ppl. The balcony area was cool!!!! Place is just elegant and I hope it stays that way!!! All the times I've gone were Friday nights. Crowd and music were always good!!!! I never had to wait too long in line. I gotta try the restaurant part one day.
