Restaurant Review #2

This evening since I was still not feeling up to snuff and the idea of reheating leftover soup or pizza was not appealing, B and I decided to give Tamarind (our first Bucharest Indian food experience) a second chance. We also thought that some spicy food would help my sinus congestion. As the owner explained to us on the first visit that his primary business is food made to order for home delivery, we decided to try this option. As usual, I had to try the Dal Makhni (for a direct comparison, you see) and B tried something called Lamb Bombay (?). We also ordered aloo paratha and some rice with my dish (B's came with rice). We were told to expect a delivery in 1-1.5 hours! Shortly after placing the order, we got a call back stating that the only kind of paratha they had was with raisins-plain was not even available, so raisin it was. The food did finally arrive and we got only 1 piece of bread. As B and I dug in, we both realized this was not what we had been looking for. B said his dish was spicy, as ordered, but he was not at all impressed by the dish and neither was I by mine. I think its becoming clear that Dal Makhni may not happen in Bucharest. This time, at least, there were lentils, but also a strange reddish sauce that tasted faintly like tomatoes-weird. As for the raisin paratha-very doughy and greasy. All in all, Tamarind continues to rate only 2 Samosas. -S
