India Chaat Cafe

So, I have to admit to a shameful lack of knowledge when it comes to ordering food at an Indian restaurant. It is always a crap shoot, wheather what I think I ordered and what arrives have anything in common. I am slowly but surely remembering names of dishes but it is the one time [...]
