Take-out lottery

Our last 3 take-out experiences: Ordered 11 items, received 7. Ordered 6 items, 2 were wrong. Ordered 3 items last night, received 2. Should I be unpacking the bag of food at the restaurant and opening each container to see what we might be missing?

That is tres lame. Any of those places among our list of Usual Suspects? Should we shop around for some different Suspects?

The one that's really been unreliable is Punjab. We've been big fans for many years; we even had our rehearsal dinner there. But since they moved to the new space, take-out has been rather unreliable in very many ways. (Eating in has been fine, though service is often rather impersonal.) Missing items, wrong items, missing condiments, packing items so they leak, broken containers, etc. Very frustrating, because we really like getting a spread from them and having leftovers for a week.

Ok, trying Punjab one more time. 4 items. I'll report on the results.

One broken lid (rather messy), and an extra naan from someone else's order. That seems like a fair trade overall.
