For a special night out, we chose to eat at one of the premiere restaurants in India (if not the whole region).   It wasn’t that easy, because getting a reservation was not a simple task.  Our first try was unsuccessful as there was no availability.  Our second try was through one of our local contacts who obviously had a better relationship with the restaurant.  We were glad to find out that she obtained a reservation for our group.  It was not just any reservation, but a VIP table with a view of the kitchen.  The dinner was excellent and being able to see the chefs at work was an added bonus.   Anyone who knows me will understand that I am a “meat and potatoes” kind of guy.  I am just not that adventurous when it comes to food.  But I did try some of everything and thoroughly enjoyed it, even if they didn’t give me any silverware!

Our travel group and the “family naan”. The family naan, at up to 4 feet in diameter, can be larger than a baby’s blanket!

In true Indian style…no utensils.

One of the specialities of the restaurant is a leg of lamb, slow cooked for many hours and imply delicious.
