Indian Day away from India

I never thought that I would ever get some good food in US, specially after all the vile meals at all the Italian Mexican and other bullshit retaurants. Only way to relish Indian food was to cook, and I try to do that as much as possible. But you know sometimes you are not in the mood..while at others you just can't
be perfect. Evanston has this Nepali cuisine restaurants which closely resembles the Indian cuisine (with chicken & lamb curry). But I didn't feel the urge to visit it. Instead I always prefer to goto Devon (the great Indian market place in North US). Today we decided just not to do away with the usual shopping of Indian stuffs but to have a buffet dinner(specially buffets come cheap here and you can grab as much as you can:)) at the Viceroy of India Restaurant and to tell the truth...the lunch was really cool. I stuffed my stomach with Chicaken Tandoori (gives and idea of the old treat days), saag paneer, lamb curry (US version of pathar mansho), chicken wings, punjab curry, pakora, samosa, kheer, gajar ka halwa, pantua, simai er payesh and also the mango flavored icecream. Also had the first american hair-cut in a desi salon. And the day ended with a shopping in Patel Bros. which is nothing but the best Indian grocery store. Overall I didn't miss Indian for half of a day.
