I am currently unreasonably excited about the opening of a new Indian restaurant here in our little town. It might seem like a strange thing to get excited about but Indian restaurants seem to be few and far in Australia and I do love a good Indian meal. Yes Monster Noggin and Mystical Roo both whip up a mighty fine curry but I miss onion bhajis. Mmmm onion bhajis. Our town was/is actually over run by Thai restaurants. Now don't get me wrong, I also enjoy a good Thai but for a town our size, one, two, three, four Thai restaurants seems a little excessive. Actually one of them has now closed down and is home to a seafood restaurant. We kept going on about how there was space for an Indian restaurant, a market gap to be filled but nothing seemed to happen. Until yesterday. Mystical Roo actually phoned me to announce the arrival of the Indian restaurant. He'd driven past it on the way to work and knew I'd be thrilled. Hell, he was thrilled. Everyone was and continues to be thrilled. So I guess I'm building this up now but I really am that excited and there's already been talk of possibly getting a take away this Friday. It's been years since I've had an actual Indian take away. I'm setting my expectations for this place rather high. I hope I'm not disappointed.
One here would be nice too! We have a Vietnamese not too far away, but the French have always been suspicious of 'foreign food'.
ReplyDeleteI've never had an onion bhaji. Maybe I ought to try one.
ReplyDeleteA trip to the Indian it is then!
ReplyDeleteWe have a varied mix of restaurants here - Thai, Italian, Mexican, Vietnamese. It's a wonder it took so long for someone to open an Indian
ReplyDeleteOnion Bhaji's were invented in England.
