13 May 2010.. Evening

A Thursday evening before our trip to Hawaii and my gf and I were hungry! and tonight's dining was going to be Indian fooooooood! You guys might already know this because I mention it so many times but I love sauce! and when it comes to Indian food, their sauce on the rice is just ohhhh weeee! We decided to order over the phone and pick up @ their location on 2nd st. in Long Beach because we wanted to get back so my gf could watch her SPURS against the SUNS.

Here's what we picked up:

Shrimp Tandoori -

Jumbo shrimp delicately marinated in yogurt and fresh spices. Served with mint sauce, basmati rice, pappadam and raita. 

Look at that sauce!! this was my plate and it was really good.  The onions were delicious! I wish I could describe the taste of it but hey, I'm not a chef remember.  This was filled w/ big o'l shrimps that were very rich in sauce and the green peppers really complimented it.

Chicken Tikka Masala -

Boneless tandoori chicken delicately cooked in a gravy of tomatoes, cream, onions and spices. Served with basmati rice, pappadam and raita.

This was my gf's dish and it was a hit.  Very very flavor full and filled w/ a lot of sauce! I only had 2 pieces of chicken but I had a lot of the sauce that I would spread all over my rice =) The chicken was boneless, tender, and juicy.  A good combination when it comes to chicken, and this dish was filled w/ a lot of small pieces.  Don't let the picture fool you, there was a lot at the bottom!

Rice

Food ain't food w/o rice! I give 2 thumbs up for their style of steamed rice.

 Garlic Pita Bread

Garlic Pita Bread is the shit! this was moist and yet crunchy in some parts.  Perfect for dipping in my gf's dish which I did=)  I think I killed more than half of this Pita. hehe.  I highly recommend Garlic Pita Bread when you guys have dinner at an Indian Cuisine.  

So if you guys are ever on 2nd st. and don't feel like having "FUCK IT THAI" haha.. head on over to the Natraj Cuisine of India.
