I ate Indian food for the first time.

Despite being an admirer of the great Indian subcontinent, I had never had Indian food. This is because my dad is not an adventurous eater and as such we tend to eat at the same places. Last night me and my mom ditched him and went to an Indian place near us. I’m a bit unsure of how authentic the food is and also I don’t remember the names of most of them.

We had an appetizer that was mushrooms and leeks mashed and fried with some spicy sauce on top. I thought it was pretty good but it didn’t really taste like much but the sauce on top. 5/10

We ordered two entrees. The first was this tomato chicken dish, the spices they put in it were weirdly floral to me and I really didn’t like it. I think it may have been better if we ordered it with some extra spice to tone down the floral taste in it 2/10

I ordered butter chicken which is one of the only Indian dishes I am aware of. I quite liked it honestly and ate most of it. Again I think it would have been better with some spice but I did enjoy it 8/10

I also had some naan and basmati and a mango rose water drink all of these were good but I don’t think they deserve a review tbh.

All in all I enjoyed my dinner and my first sampling of Indian cuisine. I wanted to get Biryani but I was sharing it with my mom who doesn’t like saffron so I didn’t get it. Also unfortunately my mom didn’t like any of the food so I’ll have to put my further ventures on hold until I move out. Still, there’s one thing scratched off my bucket list.
