Indian Food

[naomikritzer]

If you're local to me and you like Indian food, there's a new Indian restaurant in my neighborhood. Ed and I ate there tonight and it's really, really good.

It's called Gandhi Mahal, and it's at 3009 27th Ave S. -- basically, if you know where the Center for the Americas used to be, it's across the street, down the block from the post office. Next door to Midori's Floating World. It just opened, about three weeks ago, and everyone there seems a little bit anxious and really eager to please. Did I mention the food is really good? Ed got the Kamal Ke Mango with lamb; I had a sampler platter. The thing that struck me as I was eating was that when Indian food is done right, there's an incredible complexity of flavor (plus they give you chutneys that can completely change the experience from bite to bite, if you're so inclined), and it has been a really long time since I've had food like this, done this well.

If you like Indian food, you should definitely go try it. (Alas for us, Indian food is one of the few kinds of food that Molly is really not fond of. Kiera likes curry as long as it's very mild, but Molly will complain. Though the naan might make up for it.)

Thanks for the recommendation. I noticed it looked open last week when I went to Rainbow. We both love Indian food, so we'll have to try it soon.

Yay! New Indian restaurants! I'll have to try it when I have money. Thanks for mentioning it.

I'm excited to try it out. We go to Taste of India a lot, which is close to our house, and I think it is very good. But we go there so very often, that I've grown a bit weary with it. I still recommend it as one of the better local Indian places, but I'd love to branch out.

Yum! I will check it out!

It's a very good restaurant for a mixed omnivore/herbivore group. They are not exclusively vegetarian but have an excellent vegetarian selection.

"where the Center for the Americas used to be"

Are you sure you've never lived in Rhode Island? That's the way everyone here gives directions. It's like a mandatory that all directions include landmarks that are no longer there.
