Yesterday for a meetup with a Latin American friend we chose to have Indian lunch. We met at my favorite Indian Jewel Restaurant in the old town of Prague.
Now what I love about Indian Jewel is its so centrally located position right next to the famous Astronomical Clock in Old town and the Charles Bridge .This makes is so easy meeting with friends and for business meetings. It just becomes feasible for everyone. Just out side the Restaurant you can see their huge Summer Terrace. This is just mind blowing with the amount of people that can lunch/dine there at a time.
The adjacent Summer Terrace is from an Irish Pub where you can see people drinking and enjoying beer. They usually converge to the Yummy Indian Food at Indian Jewel subsequently.
My wife joined me as well for the lunch. She was so thrilled to observe this convergence of taste. From beer to the mouthwatering Indian food.
Since the weather was getting little chilly,
so we decided to sit inside the restaurant (love the interiors of this place). The waiter greeted us with the wide smile for which i love this place.Asked for the order,gently penning down duly in to his order book in hand.
We were gently told that today being a holiday they do not serve lunch menus as such.We chose “A la carte”.My friend since a lamb lover chose to taste the medium spiced Rogan josh with some Garlic Naan.I ordered for myself Chicken Tikka Masala (obviously hot spicy as i love it) and my wife ordered for Hot Dal Makhani( her favourite).The Dal Makhani was duly served in a small eye catching Indian style traditional bucket .
We ordered for some thick and creamy Raita as a side dish to keep the check on the spicy affects of the food and plate of vegetable Salad .The Salad was served in a huge plate to us. Since i am a big rice lover ordered for a fluffy plate of hot Basmati rice which looked so attractive on the table.All this time we enjoyed our meal.
We talked about ….
Indian food and Indian culture, Latin America and the Spanish restaurants in Prague and life and business and all that was so pending to be talked about in our minds:)
The yummy Rogan josh ,spicy chicken tikka Masala ,thick condensed Raita and the yummy full of butter Dal Makhani gently melting in our mouths .While we laughed and enjoyed our chatting and i could see the empty hall to which we had entered into was now slowly getting filled up.
On looking around more than half of the place was full with Indian tourists .They were lavishly enjoying every bit of the yummy food here.
2 hours almost flew by..
as we chatted and enjoyed our meal.It was by now that i could feel and see that we all have had our fill of the lunch and its time for those yummy Indian sweets:))))))
I and my friend we ordered for hot Gulab Jamun and my wife chose to try the thick Rice Kheer what they had on board.
We enjoyed every bit of our food in Indian Jewel Restaurant and the time so well spent with the restaurant almost full by now as we were leaving.
The serving staff so pleasant and smiling that it just elevated the appetite for the guests i presume…..
We agreed on our return to this place next month again for another round of yummy Indian meal.Next on the agenda would be some Spanish food at a place of choice of my friend:)
For me,The Indian Jewel Restaurant remains a feather in the cap for the Indian food in Prague with its original indigenous and authentic way of cooking and serving the true Indian food in the heart of Prague………
Enjoy your meals and lots of love to you all…
