Eating Biryani and Thosai in Prague....

After a week of duck confit, deer fillet, creamy rabbit and pastas, pakdokter, especially, was dying for a bowl of hot clear noodle soup or a plate of nasi lemak. And what better than to try out the Indian Restaurant, a few of which pakdokter had made a note of during the days of walking the streets of Prague.
The restaurant we went to was located smack in the centre of the Old Town just a few minutes walk away form the New Town Clock Tower. Located in one of the old buildings, the decoration and feel of the interior would make one feel that one was in a corner of a Maharajah Castle in Rajashtan. The restaurant offerred selections from both the Moghul cuisines of North India as well as the more spicey offerings from the South.
Pakdokter sttled for a plate of the ' Shahjehan Lamb Biryani' whereas pakdokter's partner went for a chicken rawa thosai. For dessert, pakdokter's partner ordered one helping of the 'rasamalai'.
Pakdokter's verdict : the Biryani was 8 out of 10. The chicken rawa thosai looked great and pakdokter's partner was also happy about it. The massala chai was a tad mild - lacking the oomph of the spices we get at home or in India. Pakdokter washed down the biryani with a pint of the Uurquell Pilsner - Czech's most notable brew.

Namaste...
