28/09/2015: As noted past times Natalie below, Bismi Gold An Fork is no more.
Cindy together with I stood off to i side together with gave the carte du jour our attention, speedily settling on 2 dissimilar types of thali. It was exclusively in i lawsuit we'd made it to the front end of the describe of piece of employment that nosotros realised that the thalis were a dejeuner exclusively phenomenon. So it was dorsum to the side to written report the carte du jour some more. We made our decisions together with rejoined the line, but my hopes were dashed in i lawsuit to a greater extent than when I was told that the palak paneer was unavailable. Curses. Rather than become through the whole cycle again, I speedily settled on a uncomplicated mixed vegie curry ($5.50) to become amongst my masala roti ($4). Cindy couldn't resist a vegi dosai ($5.50), then neither of us sampled their 'famous' pizza dosais. Maybe side past times side time. I had the touchstone mango lassi to drink, spell Cindy was to a greater extent than adventurous together with ordered the tea tarek (tea made amongst condensed milk - she wasn't adventurous plenty to attempt the traditional Horlicks or hot milo that were also on offer).
Cindy's dosai was the touchstone packet - a large crispy pancakey affair stuffed amongst lightly spiced vegies, amongst some sambar together with a yoke of chutneys for flavouring. The filling was generally potato, which was but what Cindy was afterward and, although i of the chutneys was a fleck spicy for her, she polished off the balance happily. I'm ever a fleck disappointed when nosotros society a dosai somewhere together with it isn't a The 39 Steps began) to sample something from Bismi's fairly substantial dessert menu. She picked out the banana uttappam ($5) - a sweetness dosai cooked amongst butter together with served amongst caramel sauce. Cindy rejected the offering of chocolate sauce, but shortly regretted it - the dosai on its ain was a niggling on the bland together with floury side, together with the whole affair was dense together with filling. In the end, she picked out the caramelised bits together with enjoyed them, leaving large chunks of the pancake behind.
Realising that our fourth dimension was running out nosotros scurried out the door together with onto a tram, our stomachs filled amongst a fairly satisfying together with remarkably inexpensive Indian feast. Now if mortal tin dismiss but explicate what a Gold An Fork is...
