Indian Food Cravings

On our amazing honeymoon to Europe, we were lucky enough to visit London and partake of the fabulous Indian food there. We like Cafe Maharani in Honolulu, but the Indian food we had in London took the cuisine to another level for us. We visited the fabled Brick Lane and were actually a little turned off by the salesmen luring us into their restaurant with free drinks or 15% discounts. It was dizzying choosing from "Best Curry of 2007" or "Best Chef 2008," every restaurant had a claim to fame. Nonetheless, we had an amazing meal there. Our personal favorite, though, was a chain restaurant just a few steps from our hotel in the Earl's Court area, Masala Zone. It was very warm, trendy and had such wonderful food! We filled out our comment card and asked if they could please open up a restaurant in Hawaii!!

I've had a sort of love affair with things Indian, stemming from a few Indian movies I've seen. Han too has begun to appreciate Indian food and culture more too since we've been together. So, he recently created a wonderful Indian meal for me. We enjoyed Indian Ginger Chicken, Tomato Dal Soup, Cucumber Raita, Vegetable Biryani with Naan from Maharani. Hope you enjoy the pictures and get to grab some Indian food soon.

  2. I can't believe I found your blog I googled croissant in Hawaii and your blog is awesome! I won't ramble since you haven't posted in a year maybe you are gone.
    If not, we must be friends, I am having a rough time missing my SoCal foodie joints and I wonder if I'll survive Hawaii without them, how did you do it?
    Reply when you get back.
