Passion is an international cuisine restaurant located the the more upscale Adliyah area where all the expensive restaurants seem to congregate.  My wife and friend wandered around looking for a spot to eat and we settled on Passion because it was very nice looking, had good air conditioning, wasn't too busy, and they had Indian food which we were looking for.

Curry and bread

It is very pleasant inside and the service is good.  The food however was a bit disappointing.  Our friend got the mixed grill and he said the meat was a bit dry.  My wife got the chicken biryani and the sauce/meat was a bit sweet, while the spice aroma wasn't as good as you typically get here.  I got the chicken tikka masala and was amazed by how tiny it was considering the price.  The bread was good though, it was freshly made, and though they called it naan it was a bit different.  Still good though.

Mixed grill

For all of our issues and the high cost, I had to knock this place down to an "Ok" rating.
