This past weekend was Kim’s birthday weekend.  To celebrate the occasion, we ate a number of meals outside of our house.  For starters was Little India on Friday night.  This was our first time at Little India, though we have heard many good things about it, including 5280 Reader’s Choice for top Indian restaurant for many years.  We arrived around 8pm and found that there was still a wait for tables, twenty minutes for two of us.  The wait was fast, and we were eventually seated in a side room that looks like it may have served as a patio at one time.

We quickly decided that we wanted to try the Pakora Masala for an appetizer. This features mildly spiced spinach, onions, and potatoes, batter-fried and topped with masala sauce. Our server was a bit slow getting to us, but after she made her initial introduction, she was very quick to check on us. The appetizer arrived quickly and was very delicious. We had also ordered meals just before the appetizer was served. I went with the chicken curry, while Kim decided on the chicken Tikka Saag.

I’m glad we didn’t order everything at once, because once again our meals were served very quickly, for us it was just after finishing the appetizer.  Each entree is served steaming hot in an individual pot, with a large plate of rice on the side.  Both of these choices were delicous as well, though I was expecting it to be a little more spicy than it was.  When we go back, I may opt to try the vindaloo, which is marked as the spicy dish.  Even though it looked like a ton of food, we were able to put a pretty sizeable dent in it, taking home only enough for one additional meal.
