Idli... Sambar... Waffles?



Well, one thing I can say about India is that the food is really good! However, I do miss my Eggo Chocolate Chip waffles in the morning. Ever since we moved here, our family has been eating out alot. (a minimum of once a week) What I have discovered is that there are a ton of Chinese restaurants here, as well as Indian (Duh!) There are also different classes of restaurants. The top notch, 5 star restaurants are located near, or in, UB City*. In UB City, there are lots of different restaurants like:
1. Tasty Tangles (this place serves Chinese food; I give it 5 stars!)
2. Toscano (Italian food; I would say it is 4 stars)
3. Rajdhani (Rajasthani + Gujarati food. I have not eaten at the UB City Rajdhani, i have eaten at the one at the mall, and the Chole Bhature had SO much oil, it made me SICK!)
Okay, so these are all the restaurants I know of in UB City, other than this place that serves Bisibele Bhath that Daddy gets in his office for 20 rupees!
So that's it for the fancy restaurants, but there are some pretty good places that are not as formal. (or as expensive) For example, take Wazir's, a restaurant that's close to where we are now staying. You can carry out a full meal from there for about Rs. 230. That's less than $5 I think. And their Baingan ka Salan (see picture) is AMAZING!

* UB City is a huge place that consists of a number of office buildings,
and has a large middle block that has shops and a beautiful open middle square. This square has fountains, and restaurants. (see post for restaurant details)
