Gosh, judging from the dearth of my entries this summer you’d think we’ve not been dining out, like, at ALL!
Au contraire — it’s just that we’ve been returning to last summer’s favorites a lot.
Yesterday, however, we finally tried a new-to-us Indian joint in the hood, Chutnify. Temps were on the brisk side, and those spices & flavors always do a nice job of warming up our bones.
It’s a fairly small, cozy yet bright modern dining room with super-friendly staff & a nice selection of appetizers, curries, dosas, and thalis, as well as a small section of house cocktails.
We opted for Pilsner Urquell on draft instead — beer being our preferred drink with most Asian food stuffs, but I made sure to order small ones for myself as the combination can make me feel overly bloated.
While a bunch of apps sounded tempting (the okra fries in particular!), we were worried it’d be too much food, and we were right. The tandoori chicken dosa I ordered was flavorful, crispy & light and ginormous, and my PIC’s telangana lamb thali was equally generous in portion-size.
Champs that we are, we managed to finish it all 
Spice level could’ve been higher for us (both dishes were marked with 2 chili peppers), but if we go back we can always tell them to kick it up a notch.
We might also be able to delve into the dessert menu, which had this tempting treat on offer:
PISTACHIO KULFI FALOODA: Pistachio ice cream in a glass with rose syrup, vermicelli,
pistachios and basil seeds. Bc pistachio 
Berlin is far from a mekka for Indian food, with most places drowning meat chunks in ghee-saturated, heavy sauces, so this was a really nice discovery for us.
