I always seem to come back to food. Last night me and the hubby went out to dinner at a South Indian restaurant: Coromandel in Orange CT. We walked into the building and in front of us was a red framed glass door. The glass had been brushed to give it a cloudy look and colorful raindrop shapes were stained onto the glass. Once inside the red door there was a red carpet leading up to the host stand. A handsome Indian man with a thick mustache welcomed us and found us a table. All of the lights in the room were made from blown glass. At our table all of the napkins on the table were folded to look like hats. I went to try mine on, to amuse my husband and saw a few of the with staff smile broadly at me behind him. Thanks to my friend Nora, my Indian Home Cooking cook book, and my husband, it was fun to look at the menu for the restaurant and know exactly what I was ordering. Overall we had a nice time and the food was very good. I have a favorite place in town for Indian food called Tali II and they still are the best for Samosas and Eggplant and ambiance. However they are only vegetarian and this place gets my gold star for meat, we had a delicious Tandoori Chicken not to dry and very flavorful.
