Full of Colors

Colors

There are so many Indian Restaurants in the Bay Area.  Got to say that they are all pretty good.  Some are better than others but, this place Bollywood Indian Cuisine, in San Mateo had a touch of something different.  After the appetizer and a few drinks, I realized that all 8 of us had different colored plates. Some better than others.  I strongly believe that 50% of the taste comes from the proper presentation of the food.  The red colored plate that I ended up with definitely tasted better than by buddies dark blue plate.  What was also mysterious about this place was that half way through the dinner, I realized that the entire place had no smell.  Usually you leave an Indian Restaurant with the smell of spice all over your clothes.  Not this one.  I really did not smell anything except for the aroma coming directly from the dish.  So, to wrap things up, we had Green, Light Green, Red, Brown, Purple, Yellow, Blue, and Black.  The waitress said they have 10 different colors.  Need to go back to find out the missing two colors.

ベイエリア、サンフランシスコ付近はインド料理のメッカと言うぐらいのレストランの数が。数多く行った中でなぜここが好きか？もちろん味は本格的なインド風。サービスはそこそこ。でも他のインドレストランとは何かが違う。ずらりと並ぶ色とりどりの皿。八人ともすべで違う色の物が。緑、赤、茶、紫、黄、青、黄緑、黒。このテーブル上では五レンジャーもかなわないって感じ。もう一つ、ここはスパイスの臭いがいっさいしない。天井はたかいが窓は一つも開いてない。取りあえず、無臭でこれだけの皿のあるインド料理の店はここしか無い。帰る前にあと何色あるのかと聞くと”あと二色”と何も考えず答えられたと言う事はやはり店自体が決行こだわっているって感じ。残りの二色を知る為にも今度は１０人連れて行こう！
