| - I figured with my new-found promotion and my proximity to the magic number 100 on yelp, I ought to stop studying for my exams long enough to put up a couple new reviews for the places I've been relying upon to keep my weight up!
Now, being in the medical field, I have my fair share of friends from all over India and from Pakistan as well...and they all love to cook their spicy food for the little white girl thinking that "she can't handle it". The looks of shock and despair when I wolf down their hottest family concoctions and proclaim them only mild or medium are quite amusing to my sadistic sense of humour (and shush, I'm Canadian, that's how we spell it!).
Indian cuisine is one of my favorites and I haven't had it since moving to Cleveland in July...I was in definite withdrawal and dying for it and managed to grab some take-out from Indian Delight last night to share with a friend.
Phone order went a little something like this...
Me: Could I get a Chicken Madras and Rogan Josh along with a Neelgiri Korma?
Owner: Sure, how spicy would you like them?
Me: Indian spicy for the first two and medium for the Korma (traditionally Kormas are mild or medium and for my dining partner's sensitivity b/c I neglected to ask them if uber-spicy stuff was ok, lol)
Owner: ....*Pause*.....
Me: Hello?
Owner: You say "Indian spicy"??
Me: yes, the hottest you can make it....
Owner: ok....uh, any lassi to go with that?
So, after I got in the order and brought it home we got to tuck in to some really excellent food. Their Papri Chat is top notch....for the love of god people, don't order samosas every time you go to an Indian restaurant...try some of the more authentic stuff to start off with!
Requisite garlic naan and basmati rice to go along with the main dishes. Madras and Rogan Josh were both excellent but I found the Korma a little lacking, seemed like it might have been a local variant that wasn't exactly my favorite. Indian spicy? Glad I ordered it that way because it was only about a medium in my books, but definitely excellent enough to be back for more!
Can't really comment on the restaurant since I just got take-out, but the owner met me at the door and was really nice and my food was just ready when I got there (they were pulling the naan out of the oven as I was walking in the door). Another customer was there also waiting to pick up his order and said that the Biryani was the best thing on the menu (noted for the next occasion, although I make a pretty good biryani of my own!).
So, all in all, an amazing experience and due to it's close proximity to my apartment, I will be coming back for take-out quite a bit!
