Cilantro Lime Hummus   - spicy and tasty, Margherita Pizza - the crust melded with the cheese, Chicken Fingers. Fries - wide and thin tasted good.

Read an article on  Asian Flo  and tried it. Lettuce Wraps - neatly. the crunch of the lettuce and the munch of the chicken, always a treat. Ordered first shrimp dish in a restaurant. Shrimp Pad thai. Surprisingly it came with brown rice too. Spicy asian peanut Chicken slightly overpowering sauce. Triple mousse. Super. When you eat a wonderful dessert, then you think of it is legal or ok to order another of the dessert you just had, even if for to go. Ooh.. the crucnh of the banana spring rolls even if it is not hard to imagine what its all about.

Interesting Dishes: Manchurian with chestnut Beetroot Halwa - Granted it fails in masking the vegetable taste for those who dont like healthy food. But I like it that they tried. Jalebi pieces in ras Another sweet that had  the consistency of oil mixed with brown sugar. The aloo tikki in the photo was least liked by me. Unauthentic and hate the breaded outer thing.

We decided upon rotis each to their own, Chicken tikka masala, Lamb keema and egg biryani. I wanted to try the chicken  Vindaloo  but then again the thought of Vinegar made me say no. Trying a new thing is always like being in a see saw. Just when the order was to be finalised, I said  Idli manchurian . I just caught it from my husband's utterances while browsing through the menu. When the Idli manchurian arrived, I liked the uniform chunky look of the idlis. Manchurian it was to the core. while eating it we came up with  aloo manchurian . When the Aloo Paratha and garlic naan arrived, I did some barter and had the gaarlic(sic) naan. The naan was a pie...
