Banjara
East Village, NYC
After the shenanigans getting into the city, we were very hungry. (We were coming into the city in the first place to get something to eat.) Trying to get downtown was a chore, there must have been a big accident on the FDR parkway, we eventually got off and drove down through Harlem. We drove down to meet Rob near a place called "Little India", on 6th street between 1st and 2nd avenues. This street has something like a dozen Indian restaurants all on the same block. I guess the in-joke here is that they all use the same kitchen. Rob didn't confirm or deny it being true, just laid it out there for us.
We went to a place called Banjara. I ended up ordering some sort of spicy lamb dish. It was called "Lal something", I forget exactly at this point. The spiciness of the dish didn't hit you full in the face from the first bite, it kind of built up gradually to get there. I really liked it, the lamb was nice and tender. They served rice with it, but it was a short grin rice with some sort of citrus in it. It was interesting.
It was good food. Up next for tomorrow, ballpark food. Provided we can get into the city.
