When the table enjoys Shahi Maharani's flavors, we made a 8pm date. Celebrated both the husband and E's birthdays. M had flown out on a work trip and couldn't make the date, so we naughtily picked Indian cuisine since it isn't her favorite but the rest of us like it! Teeeeheeee.
The restaurant serves up good food that has been consistent, and great company makes for an easy wind-down before bedtime. We don't bother coming here unless our dining companions enjoy Indian food done in this style.
Skipped all the chaat, because we didn't have enough stomach space for everything. We couldn't wait for the mains! We ate all the papadum in a small cup and asked for more, and that arrived in a big basket. Hahahaha. The food arrived together, as intended, making it a nice communal meal.
We wisely followed the server's recommendation to do half a lamb shoulder instead of the full portion. That was more than enough for us when we wanted to sample other items. A spicy Chettinad chicken, fried potatoes and dal completed the meal. Carbs came in the form of naan and rice. Prawn biryani is a must each time we come. That was done tonight too.
I was glad that we met at this restaurant. I didn't manage to get a gift for E earlier. There were shops downstairs, and a tiny Kinokuniya that provided me gift ideas and I managed to get her birthday presents sorted! We didn't mind one drink, but nobody wanted to drink that much. A glass of white for me, and gin tonics for the rest. It was a good meet after a loooong day at work.
