Risk Pays Off Again

October 22, 2010

Once again, we wondered into a restaurant and took our chances. So far, this has always worked for us. The name of the restaurant is Barbecue Delights and the sign had flames on it, so I was a bit hesitant because I expected the menu to be full of foods laced generously with hot chilis.

Sidebar: Barbecue here has nothing to do with American style barbecue. There is no sweet tomato based sauce in sight.

I was delighted, however, when I saw that among the spicy Indian menu items there were Afghani menu items.

So here are the condiments, if you will, a bowl of yogurt, plate of cut veggies and a few sauces.

platter filled with rice and several types of grilled meat
I don’t remember how this was listed in the menu, but it was basically some of everything. The rice was delicious. It had currents, pistachios and other tasty bits in it. There were several types of grilled meat – chicken, ground meat & lamb. Hidden in the rice was a lamb shank that was to die for. There was also a lovely long piece of flat bread and we had lassi (a salted yogurt drink).

We didn’t really need another favorite restaurant. There are too many already. However, whenever we are near Lamsy Plaza around lunch or dinner time, we know where to go.
