Vishnu and I tried out
Indian Summer, opposite to Gaylord. It looked like one
of those 'classier' places, so I wasn't expecting the meal to be any good. The
variety was impressive though, so sticking to my policy of ordering dishes I
never had, we tried
Shahi shorba (soup),
methi tikki and
simla mirch besan ke sath, with
makai roti and
reshmi paratha. For Rs. 550.
I recommend every single dish -- especially the soup. The service was good, too,
and I'd rate it as excellent, except for the fact that the waiter walked up to
us and asked us if we'd ordered Shahi Shorba. True to my form, I stared at him
cluelessly, looked around, and said, "Who me?"
The poor waiter was understandably embarrassed. He walked to the next table to
confirm that they hadn't ordered it. They hadn't. He walked back, and in the
middle of all this walking up and down, almost spilt a bit of soup on Vishnu.
Then he comes back, after checking the register, informing us that we had, indeed,
ordered Shahi shorba. Fine by me...
The good part is, now I know how to drink soup -- move the spoon away from
yourself when collecting the soup on the spoon. Thanks, Vishnu!
