Our evening routine when we go out for dinner goes something like this:
Mr NQN: Are you going to be ready to leave in five minutes?
NQN: Yes. I’ve got to get changed and then pack up the camera etc.
Mr NQN: Good because you don’t look ready.
NQN: Are you ready to go in five minutes?
Mr NQN: Yes of course I am
NQN: Then why are you naked and playing on your computer?
Tonight was no different. We were running a bit late for our dinner with David and Belinda. You may know our dining companions, David is the chef and owner of Perama restaurant and Belinda is his gorgeous wife. Tonight we’re dining at Abhi’s. Because David is a chef, that means that we can only really go out on Sunday and Monday evenings and this Monday evening we are amazed to see that Abhi’s is absolutely packed with people. We leave it to Belinda and David to order as they are regulars here.
Lassi Yogurt $3.80
Abhi’s is the sister and first restaurant to Aki’s. Abhi is more down to earth and relaxed whereas Aki’s is more glamorous and expensive. We start with the lassti which is always a must have. It is delicious with the added scent of cardamom along with the mango flavour.
Pala Patta Chat $13.80
We’re all over the moon loving this entree. It is spinach leaves in a crispy lentil batter, topped with yoghurt, date & tamarind and chilli & mint sauces. It comes out as a listening tower of crunchy chips that are streaked with yogurt and tangy, spicy sauces. It’s also very different to anything that we’ve tried before and I go for second (and third!) helpings of this.
Chatpata Squid $17.80
The salt & pepper squid is lightly dusted with spiced tapioca flour and served with a tamarind & ginger dipping sauce. The squid pieces are very tender and it tastes just like a good salt and pepper squid but with a little twist with the fragrant sauce.
Alu Tikki $12.80
