of mojitos and other madness: chutney chutney!

do you ever suddenly get hit by this weird craving to have indian food? you know...the get your hands dirty with piping hot garlic naans and oh-so-creamy paneers and chicken tikka masala kind of craving? well...g and i every once in a while get hit by these odd wants and to be honest, this girl is glad that we found this kick-ass joint just a stone's throw from one six b, saving her the potential trauma of having to battle the crowds of little india!

don't get me wrong...little india rocks with its perpetual buzz, noise, lights and people....but when you are hungry and just want to get that naan in your tum, chutney mary will be my recommended place to go. branded to serve indian cuisine fast food style, i would say chutney mary is more or less like an indian coffee-club. the food is good, prices are reasonable and you don't have to wait too long for the grub to get to your table.

the definite must-tries include the palek paneer or the paneer as is (for those who aren't crazy about cottage cheese), the chicken tikka masala and this brinjal mash dip thingy. all fantastically done, extremely authentic with rich flavors and fragrant spices but less the lemak or creaminess that most other places i find indulge excessively in. of course, all these dishes must aboslutely be eaten with their in house naans (garlic gets my vote!) which are baked on the spot, making each piece hot and fluffy, complimenting every single dip and curry perfectly. so if you ever have that indian food craving, i would recommend heading to chutney mary for some good indian grub.

ps: they deliver too!
