The first thing I heard from @NotJrvedivici was “that was the f’ing best meal I’ve had in a long time. We have to go back.”
Since A) he and I have this Master/Igor relationship where he is the boss and B) I also f’ing love Aarzu, we found ourselves back there last night. This time we brought along much tougher critics than ourselves, our better havles. So we sat in one of those gaudy, comfy round booths that must be reserved and ordered a ton of food. Apologies for no pics as they have beautiful presentations.
First out was Manchurian Cauliflower. I love this preparation and the cauliflower stands up to the spicy sauce well. The coating on the crispy fried cauliflower wasn’t too heavy. In short, a delight.
Next came a double order of Eggplant Chaat with each couple sharing one order. Our family has this every time and it was evident that @NotJrvedivici and the Mrs felt the same. We all ate in silence except for lots of “yummy” noises.
Next was a double order of lamb chops. If I could only eat one lamb chop for the rest of my life it would be this one. I have no idea where Hemant is right now but I’m sure he would approve.
We also had…
chili/garlic naan, onion stuffed kulcha, butter chicken, fig and cheese dumplings, and lamb biryani. I know right, it is even a mouthful to write. It was a very full table. It was all incredibly good.
The only bad thing is I was stuffed and so was everyone else. We wanted to try the amazing looking and better tasting dessert platter but none of us had room to eat more. Next time.
As always the company was better than the food but this time the food was close.
