Me the foodie

Yes, gluttony abounds.As i said there is too much choice and that includes the terrific cuisine .Some say its healthy food, some say its delicious, some say its lean...in the end- food cooked outside of home that is delicious is NEVER healthy for your arteries, veins, brain or whatever.But who cares?!

So here is a review of some of my favourite mid western food joints:

1. Kabobs: Ohhh the smell of hyderabadi biryani so far away from home!Yes this is THE most authentic indian food place i have been to date in the US...they even have a post 2:30 chai samosa special!! Reminds of my good ol' BITS and all the redi-waalas there...
What totally takes the cake is the supe dupe price for anyone (means non income generating person :P) which is with tax 5.30 dollars.As their banner says- over 30 items to choose from. I love the concept- Indian food served fast food style- a la Chinese food- panda express go hang..my i want my Indian food.
Ok so that this post doesn't seem like an ad..i shall tell you the cons as well..North Indian fare here is a little off the mark- which is to say their cholay bature are again not very northy...the fish fry is also not very great...but all in all i good value for my money and my arteries sigh and say- ok well i give up- since your brain and stomach refuse to let go of this oily food!
And the location!!! Downtown Minneapolis!! Where else can you walk 20 min in the skyway, when its sub zero outside , with a baby in the stroller and have yumm food ...!

2. Pracna: Riverside, Minneapolis.

Its the soup.Always start with the soup.Its the tomato cognac soup.Yes Cognac.Like in Alcohol.Yes, combined with tomato.Yes, its good.Tasty.Very much so.Yes, I hate tomato soup in general.What made me try it? Hmm..serendipity.

Ok baby is up.More later. Rating 7/5.Not a typo.

We recently have a restaurant in Stamford that rivals my Indian friend and her husbands home cooking, so many of the others were just missing it. So I know the excitement of a good Indian restaurant.
Tomato/cognac soup???? That sounds absolutely wonderful! What a good liquor does to vegetables is amazing!

That tomato cognac soup is heavenly! It's the one in the cafe beside the tiny movie theatre right? Beautiful area.
