Masala Tea Experience At Pind

September 07, 20

The year so far as you all know,has been one of uncertainity and turmoil.

Its now time for me to do my partial transition to UK and join my family there.Before leaving ,i had few friends of mine who are on bucket list to be met .Whom i am trying to meet as and when so can could touch bases with.

So ,last week i got to meet my old friend and a fantastic entrepreneur Amit ,who happened to be busy with his new venture.So the meeting was quick one at the Pind ,where we decided to enjoy some traditional Indian Masala Tea along with some freshly fried vegetable pakodas.

Pind has been always a favourite place for the Indian food in prague in the Vinohrady area with its great north Indian cuisine.

The restaurant has sufficient seating space with enough of the privacy mode in to it.You could be totally at ease in this restaurant ,enjoy that private conversation and still be surrounded with people around.

We had some hot masala tea which was served in a typical traditional way, right in tea glasses (as served in North India).This was a true tea experience at Pind. The pakodas were served hot with various vegetables duly fried well and soft in the besan (Gram flour).

The service was good .We could discuss in peace all the things long awaited. I was so happy seeing an old pal and memories refreshed of good relationships before i leave for the UK coming week.

The tea experience at Pind i am sure shall keep alive in my mind till my return to Prague next in coming months:)

Lock down is over -Time for the Indian Jewel Restaurant once again……..

June 13, 20

The past months of the Lock down in Prague have been awful for me .Being living alone without family and Indian food around.

The life stresses have been huge with the setting up of my new venture of Indian food in Prague Catering Service.Now once its set rolling to move forward,i could finally have a look at my favourite Indian Jewel Restaurant in Prague 1:)

The choice was as always my favourite Chicken Tikka Masala menu during Lunch.I was so excited to see my favourite faces from the place.The food was duly served in the open summer terrace they have now wide open.My favourite Non alcoholic beer was served as always 🙂

The summer terrace definitely shows the impact of the COVID-19 on the Restaurant industry in Prague.The beautiful place like Indian Jewel with all its mouth watering food and friendly service in place looked hungry for vistiors. Few tables were occupied with the Czech language laughters heard around.The laughters around gave the confidence that the good days for the Indian food in Prague are back soon…..

I had my full satisfaction from the cravings for the authentic Chicken Tikka Masala finally (outside of my Catering Service of course) .I am so excited that finally the worse days are behind us and i look forward so much that The Indian food in Prague remains always a super attraction in Prague centre at Indian Jewel.

As i finished the thick and creamy dish with some hot Naan,the memories of the the same place came in to me when i saw it fully crowded with tourists and locals the same time….

The menu included some sweet Kheer which i enjoyed fully.I had some great conversation with the Restaurant head manager ,Mr Deepu .while enjoying some Masala Chai . I could see there enthusiasm and urge in him for the better days ahead for the Indian food lovers to come here.

The expereince was so overwhelming and enjoyable for me after all these days of Lock down.I look forward to more quality experiences as we move forward all together….

Enjoy your meals and stay safe every body!!!!

Lots of love to you all!!!!!

Indian food in UK-Poole experience

February 10, 20

Had an amazing experience of Indian food in UK yesterday at a small town of Poole.Poole is a coastal town in Dorset, southern England, known for its large natural harbour and sandy beaches.The town along with Bournemouth are resort towns.They are so beautifully situated at the English Channel and famous for its 7 miles of golden sandy beaches and clean seas.It attracts over five million visitors every year to its safe sandy beaches

Poole has a number of Indian restaurants to offer and my lust for the authentic Indian food brought me with my wife to gurkhaspice.

It is a family run restaurant by Mr Krishna from Nepal along with his wife.Both of them are a pleasant to meet and a such an hospitable couple.Their hospitality has given to the place an atmosphere of warmth and coziness.

After a pleasant exchange of ideas and communication ,we were offered a comfortable place for us to feel at home.

The menu offered, contained an amazing range of Indian food on board.We chose to take some Seekh kebab and my wife ordered for a plate of Lamb momos .Momos is some thing that Nepalese cuisine is famous for.

While we waited for the exquisite yummy tongue twisters to come in,I ordered for a glass of Salted Lassi .My wife chose for a glass of Indian Beer Cobra (Yet to be seen by me in Prague).

The momos came in tenderly cooked with some spicy hot sauce just what was needed.The Seekh kebab were served so well along with some unique styled vegetable salad.The kebabs just melted in my mouth along with the Lassi i enjoyed.

While enjoying the starters ,we ordered for the main course for Lamb Jal frezi (very hot),Some chicken tikka masala no spiced as a side dish for my wife’s non Indian taste buds to take care of 🙂

She chose some cheese and garlic naan which was so proudly served hot to us.I chose for some fresh hot fluffy Basmati rice.

Now ,UK i know is famous for one of the best Indian Restaurants globally.This restaurant with its owners efforts has tried to maintain that trend in my view.

The restaurant from inside has been so well traditionally decorated .The tables so accurately placed and separated by hand crafted glass partitions.The seating arrangement gave a feel of you being compact and cozy and at the same time private from the others.

As we enjoyed the mouthwatering food ,the restaurant was getting filled up by pre-order guests.The Restaurant phone constantly seemed taking in orders for takeaways i guess as the bar attendant gently speaking and facilitating the orders.

What amazed me so much was the serving of the food orders to the table on a trolley. This i am yet to see (or have not hit the place doing this)in Prague .

While we enjoyed our well spent of over 2 hours of stay in the restaurant ,the place was overwhelming already with guests.English people immensely enjoying every bit of the Indian food from heart.Most of the crowd seemed to me local residents of Poole or surroundings.There seemed to be few guests who were regular visitors.

The entire experience was so filling for both of us that we chose to by pass the dessert.Although menu seemed so attractive and different to me from Prague standards that i chose to take a snippet picture of it.

Its had some of the Indian kulfi on it to my deep surprise.

As we left the place ,we could hear the happy and content voices from the guests and the families enjoying their weekend.

As always ,The Indian food continues to make the people happy all around the world.

I bring back to Prague with me some great memories of Indian food in UK from Poole:)))

Enjoy your meals and lots of love to you all !!!!

The Best Rogan Josh In Town !!!! -Indian Jewel

January 26, 20

Rogan josh, also written roghan josh or roghan ghosht, is an aromatic curried meat dish of Persian or Kashmiri origin. It is made with red meat, traditionally lamb or goat. Is colored and flavored primarily by alkanet flower or root and Kashmiri chilies. Is one of the signature recipes of Kashmiri cuisine.

As a child we were treated with Kashmiri dishes at home ,when my mother used to cook them with so much love and affection.The deep memories of these dishes with Roghan Josh are deep within me since those early days…

Every time i get to a place where Kashmiri dishes are available on board,Roghan Josh is always the first conscious choice:)

This week i had the yummiest of this dish along with some hot crispy butter Naan .Now rice goes as an integral part of the Kashmiri Cuisine in the Indian food.So i ordered for some plain basmati rice which was served so tempting hot!!!

My love for the dish is so immense ,that i had to keep aside the tasty Masala tea i was enjoying as the mouthwatering Rogan Josh came on to the table:))))

The lamb meat in the dish was so tenderly soft and mind boggling tasty……

It just melted within my mouth.I could boldly claim that i am yet to taste such a Rogan Josh in Prague.The best Rogan Josh in town………

While enjoying the yummy treat ,reminiscing the old love for the dish,I was greeted my Mr Wadehra.

He is the proud founder of the Indian Jewel Restaurant in Prague,a good friend and enterprising entrepreneur.

His love and passion for the good Indian food has kept his restaurant in the top rankings of the Prague Restaurants.

We had some heartfelt talk with him while i enjoyed the food.

The place was semi filled with guests mostly Indians,Arabs and English.The atmosphere has always been enchanting for me here.The service of the staff is excellent.The Restaurant staff is extremely polite and service oriented.

As i finished the yummy treat without any Sweets – New year resolutions to go with out sugar for a year(How much i would not have wanted it though),only a word of thank you comes to my mouth.

A big shout out and thank you Mr Wadehra for being a great entrepreneur you are and creating the wonderful place like Indian jewel for Prague food lovers!!!!!!

And once again,Best Rogan Josh In Town is here !!!!

Lots of love to you all !!

Enjoy your meals!!!!

A Fulfilling Sunday Lunch At Namaste India-Rybna

December 15, 19

A Fulfilling Sunday Lunch with Dr Abdi,an old friend from Kuwait has been on my bucket list for some time .He is a successful entrepreneur,renowned dentist and a wonderful person.He is the proud co-founder of the Dental clinics in Prague at www.dbclinic.cz.

Due to his hectic schedule and scarce availability it was getting delayed all these days for us to meet up.

We finally got to meet with him today for lunch and we decided to meet at Namaste India Restaurant,Rybna Branch.

Now,This branch of Namaste India has been one of my favourite place to lunch in on any average buffet day (week day).On a weekend it was first time i would be trying it.

The place, as huge it is ( see my previous post on it here),today looked so clean with lightening Christmas tree right at the entrance of the restaurant greeting us.Few tables were occupied with guests(families in general with children ).The over all atmosphere of the place seemed calm and quiet (love it!!!)

Dr Abdi ordered for some Indian Masala tea to start with which was served in a fabulous ceramic servers .

For the main course he chose to order for Chicken Tikka Masala along with some fried Jeera Rice.I ordered for Tamil Chicken (spicy) along with Basmati Rice.We ordered for some Cucumber vegetable Salad and for bread some Tandoori Roti

The food came in duly served well and hot with some great service leaving apart for the Vegetable Salad which got delayed on the way somehow and came in subsequently with due apologies.

We had some good time together with the mouth watering and a fulfilling sunday lunch Indian food in Prague while we chatted,discussed and laughed together.

Namaste India remains on the list of my favourite Indian restaurants in Prague

Enjoy your meals and to your health !!!!!

Bombay Express Fast Food -Chodov Experience

November 26, 19

Bombay express fast food at chodov as all its other branches has always fascinated me for its fast food type atmosphere.

It gives the feel that you have landed up in a typical Indian fast food joint serving the Indian food.

Last week,i happened to meet an old friend,Amit,whom i have not seen for years now.

He happens to be a qualified professional accountant and co-founder with his wife of an Indian fashion garments

e-shop at saath .

Since it was lunch time,we stood in line with all the executives of the corporate world that abodes in the Chodov business towers around.This place happens to be a favorite for many of them.

Since the service here is fast ,accurate and good, the people get their food as at any fast modern fast food chain (similar to McDonald,Subway etc).

Both of us chose to try their legendary chicken do pyaza menu which the sales guy so proudly recommended us .

For drinks we took the Salted lassi .As we placed our order and were handed over with calling hand booth some thing like a remote phone set (walkie talkie sort of) .You sit with this in hand and chat while your order gets ready.It rings out once your order is ready .You can go and collect your order from the counter.This is some thing unique and innovative what i have seen only with Bombay express so far.

This is such a brilliant innovative idea which keeps you not hovering at the counter waiting for your food to get ready.And makes the whole eating experience a whole lot more pleasant without loosing that fast food effect.

We had some good bite and chat long due of years.The place is really jam packed during the lunch hours but the experience remains a pleasant one.

The Staff is good and helpful.

Bombay express fast food ,shall be visiting again with more of friends.

Enjoy your meals !!!

Ashtami Thali at Indian Aroma Prague

October 16, 19

Last week was the end of the yearly Navaratri Hindu Festival. And with its end comes the time to enjoy the fabulous feast and mouthwatering Ashtami Thali.

Ashtami in Sanskrit means the eight day.The eighth day of Navratri is dedicated to Goddess Mahagauri . Many people observe ritualistic vrat (fasting) as a mark of respect to the deity. Some people also do Kanya Puja or Kanjak on the auspicious day. For Bengalis, Durga Ashtami is the most pivotal day of the whole festival.

This is the day celebrated as the day of the victory of the good over evil as per the Hindu Traditions.

With this comes an opportunity for some great food and festivities and celebrations….

Since this has been a child hood affair for me ,I decided to try the so advertised Ashtami Thali from Indian Aroma Restaurant in Prague 8.They had this as special menu for the weekend.

I decided to enjoy the Ashtami Vegeterian Thali all by myself this time.The restaurant looked quiet from inside.There were few tables booked by guests.The atmosphere inside was calm with the serving staff serving the guests well in order.

I was greeted by the restaurant manager whom i know already from my previous visits here.

The Ashtami Thali Indian Aroma was brought in with love,respect and care to me.It consisted of the fluffy Poori.They were hot and tasted authentic Indian.The menu included some black chole (chick peas),aloo taamatar sabzi,Raita, Sabu dana cutlets. This all was accompanied by some so fresh looking and tasty Halwa ,which surely was cooked in some Desi Ghee as it tasted.

The Thali looked so temptating and mouth watering.I enjoyed every bit of it and for the drinks chose to go in simple with some coke.

After the filling experience I paid the bill at the counter as it usually works here with menu offerings. At the counter was greeted by Mrs Walia ,wife of the owner of the Restaurant Mr Vikas Walia. She shared their experiences and positives of the their Restaurant and how her husband is active in bringing up the Indian community in the Czech Republic.

He is one of the founding members of the Indian Community in the Czech Republic who organised recently Experience India festival in Prague 5,Andel.

The experience was extremely enchanting .The reminiscence of the Ashtami this year will definitely be in my mind till the next year:)

To the glory of the Festival…..

Enjoy your meals!!!
