After last months lunch date, which hubby still doesn't think should count, we planned a bit better for this month!
Our awesome babysitter Amy was booked in advance and we had a restaurant.com voucher to use!
So we headed out to one of our favourite Indian restaurants the Taj Indian Cuisine. We have had many meals from this place but always take out, never dined in!
Our waitress was really nice and apparently loved our Aussie accents. I told her she had a cool accent too lol!
I went with a pinot grigio and hubby tried a bottle of Kingfisher beer. Its an Indian beer, brewed at Mendocino Brewing Company in California, a local craft brewery! The demand for this beer was so big in the USA that they started making it here to keep up!
Now on to the food!! We went with the Royal Feast! It included Papadams, Meat Samosa ,Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Tikka, Tandoori Shrimp, Chicken Kabab, Lamb Seekh Kabab, Vegetable Curry, Chicken Curry, Raita, Sweet Mango Chutney, Mixed Pickles, Naan, Rice, Dessert, and Hot Tea or Coffee. It was amazing and hubby will enjoy the leftovers for lunch!
We chatted a lot about our return trip to Australia in Oct/Nov and some future plans which may see us applying for another overseas military posting!
We finished eating as much as we could and rolled out of the restaurant and on to Hard times Café in Downtown to catch up with friends, have a drink and play trivia!
We enjoy going to Hard Times, but it is a smoking venue and at times, like last night, the smoke was really bad. My eyes were stinging even after a shower. Yes you have to come home and shower because the smell is that strong on everything!!
Always a great time though and worth the smoke to hang out with some great friends :)
All in all a great date night! Look forward to next months!
