Chennai Dosa offered a large menu of curries, dosas, and more, but my pick was the North Indian Thali, which came with a sampling of 10 ramekins of dishes, along with two chapatti flatbreads and a papad cracker. The dishes included chana masala (chickpea curry); a decadent paneer butter masala; yellow dal; spicy potatoes; a mixed vegetable dish of potatoes, peas, and carrots; and two different mixed rice dishes (a slightly sweet rice and a more heavily spiced brown-colored rice). The thali also came with sides of raita, a yellow sweet made of semolina, and sliced cucumbers/carrots/onions to round it all out. This restaurant was definitely a hole-in-the-wall, but the service, flavors, and prices were all on point!

Aapo: So, how are you doing?…read more Osma: I'm good, pretty good. Aapo: The subject of this interview is that Katja told me that you once made a sausage-bacon boat. Could you describe me what the sausage-bacon boat looks like and why would you do one? Osma: Unfortunately the case is that this is just a persistent rumour, I have actually never made a sausage-bacon boat. However, I did fabricate a cheese-bacon roll from braided bacons, in which you use two packets of bacon and braid them into a flat, square slab. Then you top that with a thick layer of shredded mozzarella, and in the middle you put blue cheese, which becomes the heart of the roll. Then you roll the whole thing up and stick it into the oven. Once it's golden crispy, you eat it like a thick swiss roll cake, only with meat. But, you can find the instructions online for a sausage-bacon boat, or more accurately, a sausage-bacon pirate ship. Aapo: Ok, but you never made one then. Can you tell me how does it look like? Osma: It has bacon sails and sausage masts. Aapo: And what is the chassis of the boat made from? Osma: Minced meat. Aapo: pfff kekekeke lol Osma: The sausage-bacon pirate ship comes from the same era as Epic Meal Time, if you remember them? They had this bro cooking show and became famous youtubers by putting Jack Daniel's and a lot of meat in everything they made. Aapo: I'm not sure, were they the guys who were trying to make the most meaty things as possible. Like putting a chicken inside a pig inside a cow or something. Osma: Ah, you must be thinking of Turducken. Aapo: What's that? Osma: It's chicken inside a duck inside a turkey, with minced pork meat layers in-between. Aapo: Of course. What else could it be? Did you know that these things originate from medieval tradition of banquets that we're these long, extravagant dinners held by the lords that would include performances and several courses. And one of the things they would compete with was who would serve the most complicated food, and the dishes would be ridiculous. They would have bigger versions of Turducken, like starting from a cow and then a pig and then a turkey, and in the end it would be some tiny bird and maybe a small egg inside it. Some of them would have up to twenty layers. Osma: lol. Weren't swans a popular choice as well? Aapo: Yeah they would put pluck a swan, put smaller birds inside it and cook it, and then re-attach each feather individually before serving it. Osma: Did you know that swans are like the bullies of the bird world? They pick on other smaller birds for no reason. Aapo: Serves them right to be the center piece of a banquet then. Aapo: What's the meatiest food you've ever eaten? Osma: My brothers friend Pasi had this recipe where he would wrap beef tenderloin inside minced meat. Aapo: What? You mean a steak wrapped in minced meat? Osma: Yes it was kind of like beef wellington but he used minced meat instead of puff pastry. Aapo: wtf hahaha Osma: ...what else...I have to admit that in my past life I used to eat pretty meaty things. When I was a teenager I had an habit to buy frozen pizzas and top them of with an entire packet of bacon and mountain of cheese. There would be so much bacon grease that it would basically deep fry the pizza. Pretty nasty. Like fried snickers level nasty. Aapo: One of my friends in my hometown had a signature pizza in the local pizzeria which had five different meats, so basically everything they had. Salami, minced meat, kebab meat, pepperoni sausage and ham. And double cheese, of course. Osma: Goes without saying. Osma: I would say that in Portland I've eaten the most blatant things. It's the home base for both striptease and barbecue cultures. Aapo: Portland! I thought it was THE hipster city when it was a thing? Osma: Yes. But it's also actually a really good culinary city, and it has most strip clubs per capita in the world. They have insane portions and all these food challenges. Like if you manage eat this 2,5 kg blob of meat you'll get it for free. Also the strip clubs serve food and the most fucked up thing is that people told me it's sometimes really good. I didn't try it though. Aapo: Good to know, I guess. I had a meat overdose from a very traditional Finnish dish: the Iskender Kebab. Last time I ate one, which is years ago, I had the feeling that I really don't want to eat any meat for a week, or a month, or forever. Osma: Isn't it called "meat sweat" ? Aapo: Hah, what's that? When you so much meat that you start to sweat? Osma: Exactly. But I guess it's a believable phenomena, won't meat put your body through quite a stress? Aapo: For sure, and that kebab had at least triple effect. Osma: It's kinda fun to nostalgize eating meat, but I seriously feel much better when I don't eat meat. Aapo: Yeah, I know what you're saying, I mean I do eat meat also but I'd say 90% of my diet is plant based or vegan. It just makes you feel so much better.

The pictures on the menu do not necessarily match up with the entree it is next to. Ate palak paneer and butter paneer for dinner with side of parathas, and an extra cheese paratha. Palak paneer left much to be desired, was a little low on the flavor side. Butter paneer was much better, a little sweeter, and had a coconut flavor coming through. The plain parathas were thick and fluffy, great for sopping up sauces. The cheese paratha was really my star of the show- it was a kinda of Brie/cream cheese filling that was gooey on the inside. Somehow, it really brought extra flavor out in the entrees. We arrived at an opportune time, so we didn't wait, but we were the last to arrive before the rush. After us, there was a constant wait and solo customers were seated in any available space, even with other guests. This did not impact us. The staff did not rush any of the guests to turn over tables and accommodate the rush. The food seemed to be made upon request and the staff was constantly moving and serving. In sum, if you are a vegetarian, looking for relatively cheap and tasty Indian food, don't mind a divey/crowded atmosphere, definitely check this place out- it clearly gets a lot of hype.

We tried a couple of the other places down the street, but hands down Sangeetha was the best and most accommodating to our dietary restrictions. Certain members of my family eat a semi-Jain diet and do not eat any food items with onion or garlic in it. Because of this, traveling can be quite difficult and it's often very hard for them to find food items that they can eat, especially while abroad. This restaurant was very understanding about their dietary restrictions and was able to modify dishes for them so they could actually have a full meal. Service was great and the interior was clean. Chaat service does end at a certain time so you can't get it later in the day, but their menu is still pretty appealing. Honestly, one of the better Indian restaurants in Paris esp if you have dietary issues.

Ordered samosas to start, which came piping hot and delicious, although they may or may not have been frozen before. Rose lassi was okay, but tasted artificial.

Lamb was slightly on the tough side, but the spinach and cheese were creamy and smooth. It was a lot of food, as I could barely finish everything on my own. Unfortunately, I'd gone on the weekend, which didn't allow for a lunch special: I would definitely recommend going on the weekdays, as my food came out to nearly 30 euros (bread and rice were charged extra), as opposed to 16 euros for the special. Food was pretty good, but it was the courteous and welcoming staff which made my experience in Gwadar a good one. Worth a try!

On Yelp, we had found Le Palais de Raja Maharaja and it was one of the best decisions I made in France. Actually, I believe that it is one of the best Indian restaurants I have been to in my life. If you don't speak French, they are very accommodating. When we walked in the restaurant, we were greeted and sat right away. The host and the owner was very friendly and inviting. He made some great recommendations on the menu. For a free starter, we were offered some papadum with some nice chutneys. It was all very tasty and fresh. We ended up ordering some vegetable samosas, butter chicken, and a lentil chicken soup. The samosas were fresh and crispy with nice flavors! Be careful, these things come out hot. The butter chicken did not have overcooked chicken which is a huge plus! It was savory, rich, and creamy. Sometimes, excess oil is a problem in butter chicken. But, not here! This dish was great. I have no complaints about the lentil soup, but it is pretty standard. Although it was quite good, it definitely wasn't the star of the meal. To end the night, we ordered halva dessert. It is a very sweet, dense confection dessert. It was absolutely delicious and will fulfill any sweet tooth.

The lamb was deliciously tender and not gamy at all. The chicken tikka masala was great though a little different from we have had in the past; this was the first time we have the dish with green pepper. I normally and thematically loathe green pepper. But the taste really worked with the sauce and the chicken to make it delectable. The naan and cheese naan were very good as was the rice.
