I took my roomies out for lunch to an Indian restaurant yesterday. They had been asking me for a long time and shameless as I am I took sometime to realize I have’t even given them a birthday treat yet..I mean I was home for birthday so well I kinda forgot.
They handed me the menu card and told me I’d have to order for all of them. As we were waiting for the food to arrive all three of them asked me one question “Why are those guys talking in English?” Binh was like “Why Indian don’t talk in Indian ..always English!” . Now this is something I am asked about all the time and I am yet to figure out why 
When my Masala tea arrived they were really really curious as to what it is so I let them take a sip each and they so loved it that I ordered it for all of them. We didn’t waste any time in attacking the food when it came. I had to explain what was what and what were the ingredients and all that. I really enjoyed the meal 
4 of us and I paid a 44$ bill which I think was pretty cheap for what we managed to hog :
- Cheese Pav Bhaaji
- Gobi Manchurian
- Dahi Sevpuri
- Oothapam
- Poori
- Rava Dosa
- Biriyani
- Masala Tea
- Rasagulla
- Gulab Jamun
Next time I am taking them to a North Indian place to try out the renowned Tandoori Chicken 
For some reason most of the people I come across here seem to love Naan ! Every time they pick up a menu card in an Indian restaurant they want to know if there is Naan. Hmmm.
As were leaving they tell me ” Now they are speaking in Indian language !”
Hasta Luego,
