Thanksgiving in September

Saturday, September 24.

3 lbs to the goal!

Lunch at Taj Mahal: Lunch Buffet - It's been a while to have Indian Food. Taj Mahal seems pretty authentic and as a matter of fact, more than half of customers were not American. I ate too much!

Dinner: Thanksgiving Meal - These are not home made. They were frozen and all I needed is defrosting and baking in the oven. Why now? It was in freezer for a year. I wanted to get rid of them before real Thanksgiving coming. I am not sure if we are gonna have Turkey this year though.

Turkey, Stuffing, Green Beans, Sweet Potato - Actually it was better than I expected. I really liked stuffing made of corn bread! Is it Southern Style? I should ask my friend.

Salem's Market

Lunch at Salem's Market on June 28.

Salem's Market sells Middle Eastern grocery and also there is a space for eat-in. It was so good. I had 2 kinds of chicken curry and spinach & paneer. I just realized that it is Ramadan this month. They serve buffet between 8:30pm and 10pm. Def. I will be join. I'm so looking forward to it!

Tamarind

Lunch at Tamarind on September 5.

I was hungry for Indian food for a while. Finally! I enjoyed a lot. I like Tnadoori Chicken. Because they use dark meat!

Mintt

Lunch at Mintt on Apr. 19. I was thinking to go to Tamarind, but I tried Mintt my friend recommended. I liked the butter chicken. It was rich and creamy. For lunch buffet, I like Tmarind better. There are more food and it has my favorite Paneer Tikka Masala. I see it on the menu at Mintt but there was not for the buffet. Maybe I should try Mintt for dinner next time.

Tamarind for lunch on Dec. 1

They have buffet for lunch on Friday for $7.99, Saturday and Sunday for $9.99. I have come here for lunch on weekday, but I definetely like buffet. I am sure that I ate more than $9.99. I am not big fan of Tandoori Chicken, but I like Tamarind's (Green one in front of the picture). My favorite was Goat Curry, Chicken Curry and Paneer Tikka Masala. Indian Cheese, Paneer! I didn't know what it was. I thought it was Tofu at first, but it tasted like something ferment and more flavorful. I enjoyed a lot. I wanna come back soon.

BTW, it was warm inside today. hahahaha. And I could say 90% of customers were Indian. I don't know Indian Food much, but I think I can say Tmarind is authentic.

 

My Plate : I always take too much at buffet.

 

Mango Lassi : Yummy

Tamarind

Lunch at Tamarind. I don't know about Indian food much, but it was good. The lunch special plate was about $8. I liked califlower curry and chicken curry. It was not super spicy. I picked non-vege plate, but there was option for vegetarian. I am not vegetarian, but I'd like to try vegetarian one next time. For lunch time, they have only lunch menu. So if you wanna try something else, visit for dinner time. And also I have to mention something. It was so cold at restaurant (in Green Tree). It was like .... the server was wearing jacket! What's going on there? I felt like I was hot in my mouth from spicy food, but I was shaking. I am not sure if it's only today. Just in case, dress warm or wait till spring.
