Kingdom Buffet, What Can I Say

Dear KB,
You are so bad for me, yet so good. You disappoint me with hardened perogie-like dumplings and stale desserts, yet then you turn around and rock my world with frog legs and peppered squid. You do the unthinkable with your pizza and macaroni and rubbery jello sitting there under the glow of the heat lamps, and then delight and amaze with an elegant cucumber salad and baked fish. I can't ever imagine taking you home, but I know I can't stay away for long.

India Garden, I Think I Love You

Dear India Garden, I'm so glad you are here in Rochester and I hope we can spend more time together. My Americanized palate may not be sophisticated enough to identify authentic Indian food or discern southern Indian from northern Indian food, but I know what I like (and miss so terribly) and you are it!!

With Minnesota-meets-India service (which means exponentially courteous), India Garden serves up buttery garlic naan and lovely renditions of my standard (and likely predictable) favorites - Saag Paneer and Chicken Tikka Masala - plus an array of delicious lamb dishes. Don't let the humble location next to a laundromat and hunting store throw you off, put India Garden on your list for date night!
