A Very Unique and Satisfying Indian Dinner

Yesterday, I had visited a great Indian restaurant on the Upper West Side that is entitled Ayurveda Cafe. Since I had not eaten at that restaurant before, I honestly did not know what to expect of the food. This restaurant was very unique in the sense that there was no menu with a list of culinary options as one would expect in a restaurant; Instead, there was one main option on the menu. That option was an assorted platter with lentils, mustard green sauce, plain yogurts, salad, bell peppers and potatoes, pakora, and a choice of white or brown basmati rice. They did have a good assortment of drinks and beverages to choose from. I had ordered their mango juice. I was not only very impressed with the quality of the meal as I had eaten the full meal; I was also very impressed by them not having a traditional menu but one major specialty dish instead. I always tend to love restaurants that have one or a few major specialty dishes. I believe that that means that they have enough confidence in that one dish so that they feel that they can be successful with just one dish. I personally find that very admirable. As you can surmise, I had thoroughly enjoyed the restaurant and the food in every aspect.
