Yesterday ,on the call from my old time friend and a famous Sculptor and hand work artist we decided to meet up in the heart of Prague, at a newly opened Indian Restaurant ,The Amritsar mail. (Its the name of a famous old time Indian train connecting Kolkata in Bengal to Amritsar town in Punjab, total distance of about 2000 Km)
Its a compact restaurant right near to the Passage Lucerne in Wenceslas Square in Prague serving pretty fine Indian food.
My friend since is restricted to eating sweet due to his diabetes ordered for a coffee which was served to him instantly although coffee being not the prime part of the Indian cuisine. I ordered for a a non alcoholic beer (Staropramen),although I do not drink last few years now but did need to celebrate meeting with the old friend:)
Since it was a non planned sudden meeting, we ordered for a quick single dish of Butter Chicken with Naans and “Boondi Raita“ accompanied by some fresh onion in lime salad (my favourite)
The butter chicken portion was yummy and fair enough for both of us to enjoy upon on the quick go on our lust for the Indian food. The Raita was fresh. There is big Plasma TV inside playing authentic Hindi and Punjabi Songs, making the atmosphere reminded of the north Indian restaurants.
We ordered for some sweet Kheer, which was cold and grind with nuts, a great fit for the time and place.
The crowd around was jovial with English ,Czech and Hindi languages heard quite often apart from the fine music playing at the back from the big Plasma TV Screen.
The atmosphere and experience was over all as good as of a busy Indian restaurant in the North India on any working day lunch time…
I finished our meeting over a cup of Masala tea, we both left the place satisfied and content.
Enjoy your meals!!!
