Kebabing away

So... here it goes...
i saw a coupon deal (compulsive couponer.. that's me) for a kebab roll and mango lassi and it was like across the street (main road as some might want to call it) from where we live. Proximity also plays a big role in my life. i bought it. (i'm writing like Ernest Hemingway... He came. He saw. He conquered. Full Stop.) :)

I don't think Hemingway ever used a smiley face. I don't think they had them back then. The liberties we take with the English language. Preposterous. Really!

To keep a short story short... we went to the little hideaway behind the petrol station on Al Wasl.


It was a pleasant little surprise. Tucked away in a back lane right next to an apparently really old Thai Restaurant called Smiling Bangkok and a Tailor (oh joy!) was the Kebab Bistro.

I was on a roll (literally!) so i had the gol guppas, the mixed plate, the chicken samosas, the masala chai, the chicken biryani, the bihari kababs (yes there were more people there!) with specific instructions to MAKE IT SPICY.... and i was happy little guppy post the consumption of all the goodies.

Light and spicy gol guppas (i think i could've eaten 3 plates) with little chickpeas inside. The chicken samosas were piping hot and apparently freshly made (took some time reaching me .. note i don't say US since they were exclusively consumed by moi... exclusively!). The masala chai was very very nice, a lovely mix of the aromatic spices and the perfect temperature (goodness.. i'm getting hungry just thinking about it all) and the Mixed plate was loverly.. i looooved it.. light and tangy and love-ly.

We've been back multiple times and the last time we went it seemed to be filling up fairly fast. The outdoor seating is limited with a little plant nursery on the side and its really nice in the winters.

I am sooo hungry right now. sighhhhh...

let me go munch on my mint, coriander and chillies chutney sandwich while i dream of yummier pastures to graze...

cheerios
