Nothing like a good korma

I'm not expert. But I do love Indian food. Just makes me happy. Unfortunately, when I'm trying to decide where to go eat with a friends, Indian usually doesn't hit the top of the list. A lot of people just don't get the food enough to want to eat it regularly .

Usually, I will drag someone to India Palace. It's the standby, and it's only 5 minutes from my house. This past weekend we tried out Saffron House. We being me and the madre who was in town for about a day.

What a revelation! What a great restaurant. Its tucked away in Addison, south of Beltline just off Montfort. Most of the people were in the parking lot for Mercy and Blue Mesa, but they missed out.

We ordered the chicken saag and lamb korma. The two usuals. We also added in this eggplant dish because mom felt like we needed a veggie I'm not into veggies. I think I probably only have about one serving a week, at most. But I agreed.

Nirvana on a plate. That was it. Absolute nirvana. The flavors just melded together so well. We didn't even talk through dinner, and I don't know if you have seen me and my mother, but if we are together no one else can usually get a word in. I was almost licking the plate with my naan at the end.

Highly highly recommend. The food was spicy, but it was tasty spicy. Not the kind that just hurts your mouth and makes you cry. It was spicy delicious!!

All the cool peeps are eating at Pasand. Which, incidentally, is fairly close to your casa.

Hmmm. South Indian. I prefer north, but Pasand is pretty good.

I haven't found a good Indian restuarant here yet, but some good sushi!

Indian, Thai and sushi are my weekly staples.

This is one of the best Indian restruants I have eaten at. The owner and his polish wife are extremely nice. Got a table for me in the bar, and served up a delicious meal he picked himself. Much better than the usual buffet style Indian fare I find in these parts.
