About two weeks ago, when I got off early from work, I decided to revisit this old favorite. I wasn't disappointed. In fact, I was surprised to find that the food was even better. I couldn't get enough of the hummus, and the mourg barg had a lovely smoky taste.
And then, last Friday, after attending an event at the Podium with Binky, I found my tummy craving for "real food" after the palate-stimulating hors d'oeuvres. Binx has heard of a new Indian place in the building that was supposedly good. We asked the Concierge about it and were led to the New Bombay restaurant at the fifth floor near the cinemas.
I wasn't particularly craving for Indian food but I was sooo glad we went there. The food was rich and flavorful, the kind that sticks to your stomach. I called a friend who has been there to suggest to us what to try. He recommended the chicken tikka masala (Php195) and mushroom greenpeas masala (Php185) and the chapati (Php30 each). So that was what we ordered. He later texted to further suggest the biryani but we doubted whether we could consume that much food between the two of us. We saved the other specialties for another time.
