​

What we ordered. 

Papadam + Chutneys

Papadam (think of a big cracker in the shape of pizza dough only lighter and crispier), along with small dips are basically the Indian version of bread and butter or oil at the table before your meal. Typically you will have some sort of sweet chutney, a spicy one, and a cooling mint-yogurt variation. 
​

Samosas

A Samosa is a deep fried dough parcel stuffed with a well-spiced mixture of vegetables or meat. In this case we opted for one chicken samosa and one vegetarian samosa. Often the vegetable samosas are more flavorful than their meat-filled counterparts! 
​

Chicken tikka masala

Much like ordering a Margherita Pizza at every new pizza place we try, we always order chicken tikka masala at every new Indian restaurant we try. This was the first time we ever saw such a red sauce!

​​An Indian flat bread like this garlic and herbed naan is also a must for scooping up tender chicken chunks and mopping up the sauce! ​
​

Desserts

For dessert we tried Galub Jamun (indian donuts soaked in sugar syrup - super sweet) and Pistachio Kulfi (a cold dessert flavored with pistachio).  
​

We had also ordered a mango lassi which is a delicious beverage consisting of mango blended with yogurt. I always order a mango lassi at Indian restaurants because the sweet creamy nature of the drink is ideal with the spicy food!
