Ok. So everyone said you HAVE to go to Vij's. But lets be frank. It's expensive, and Indian food is not what romance is made of, so it never got placed on the date rotation.
Before my sister left we decided to give Vij's sister restaurant, Rangoli, a try. The idea behind this sister restaurant is that you can have the same great curries at a fraction of the price. The catch? They come in plastic containers with reheat and cooking directions. Not as much fun.
After a bottle of wine or two, the idea of following what really were not complicated directions, seemed a bit daunting to most of the guests. Everyone was assigned a dish, but we lost some along the way. If the water was not measured out precisely, the dish was ruined. That and some of us forgot that styrofoam and microwaves don't get along. Bye bye chutneys.
What we did have:
A rather watery lamb rhogenjosh, naan, chicken korma
The samosas worked out the best... but required the least tinkering.
The culprit: Quails Gate Rose.
