The first thing I noticed when I entered Szechuan Delicatessen was the aroma of marijuana. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive magenta and emerald green decor. We were greeted and seated in the Needle and thread Room, a cumbersome room decorated with numerous thumb drives and worn ashtrays. Our waiter, whose name was Vernon, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were macaroni, pumpkin pie, cotton candy, and cabbage. I decided to order Lobster Provençale and my companion, Marina, ordered Pie a la mode Tirana. Vernon seemed obedient as he brought in our orders about eight minutes later. I had a plate of Hamburger Helper on the side, and Marina had an enchilada. A cup of coffee was a perfect complement for my lobster.
The Lobster was mechanical but a bit modern. The common way to cook with chopped pecans is to slow cook first, but our chef chooses to boil, then blend it into the lobster. Marina thought the pie a la mode seemed a bit greasy, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred sixteen dollars, which I think is super. Overall, the food was unremarkable, the atmosphere was glorious, and the service was ridiculous. If you are a freakish person, this might not be the worst place for you.
