A New Taste of India

We tried a new Indian restaurant today on a recommendation from our friends. They told us that a set menu was available of a starter, main, dessert and drink for under £12; and we could also take our own drinks. We arrived and got a table next to the window and the waiter quickly dispatched some poppadums but never offered to open our drinks for us or supply the correct vessels. We also weren’t told about the set menu and had to ask for it. Once we established that we could get the deal, I ordered a sheek kebab. It was a bit tougher than what we usually have and lacked a marinated flavour; but we were paying a cheaper price. It was well presented with dribbles of sauce on the plate; though the accompanying salad was warm. Next up was a Kashi Dali which was presented in a giant bowl. It certainly was filling; though again the meat was a bit tough. Then dessert came which was a slice of dry chocolate cake; though there were sweets in bowls as an alternative. Not the most authentic of Indian meals, but it made for a nice cost effective change.
