Det var interessant at prøve et sådant udvalg af indisk mad, men vi skulle nok selv have valgt vores retter, da de tre grøntsagsretter ikke lige var os, og der var nok også lige rigelig fiske foretter.

Maden var god, men jeg tror, at man kan finde billigere indiske steder, som kan lave ligesågod indisk mad, så vi vender nok ikke tilbage hertil.
