Indian Indulgence

Namaste Blogees,

It is a rare Monday treat from me.  I had to post about our incredible Indian dinner that we had last night.  We have certainly enjoyed Indian food since we have been in London.  I was doing some restaurant research yesterday afternoon and discovered an Indian place near us in Kensington called Zaika.  It was Punjab Posh.  I just made that up by the way, but it was the most refined Indian restaurant I have ever seen.

We started at the bar for a glass of wine and had an awesome Pinot Noir from New Zealand.  After being seated, we decided on a 3 course set menu.  We both started with the Hara Murg, which is chicken tikka marinated in mint, basil and green chillies and a small order of Malai Nann, which is Naan filled with Goat and English Cheddar cheese, onions, and chillies.  For our main entree, Ann had Nariyal Gosht, which is diced lamb marinated in coconut milk, and I had Subzi Biryani, which was fresh vegetables cooked in spices and basmati rice served in this flaky pie crust.  Ann's was really good, but mine was culinary magnificence.  We both finished with Rose and Black Cardamon Creme Brulee for dessert after cleansing our palate with Mango infused shaved ice.  Hands down, we both said that this was a top 5 meal for us in our lives.  It was just a great Sunday evening out as well after having been basically stuck in our flat all weekend due to the London monsoon.  By the way, today is the first full day of sun, and more importantly, no rain, in April.

Cheerio
