Better Than Bombay

Sheldon: I never eat in strange restaurants. One runs the risk of non-standard cutlery.
Ramona: Excuse me?
Leonard: Sheldon lives in fear of the three tine fork.
Sheldon: Three tines is not a fork. Three tines is a Trident. Forks are for eating. Tridents are for ruling the seven seas.

The other night my good friend and I decided to take a chance on a new restaurant. I do love trying new things but there is obviously still that fear--not the Sheldon fear of using a trident to eat with but the fear that the food will be bad and thus a waste of a perfectly good meal. Anyway, after much discussion about what kind of food to eat (Indian) we narrowed it down to two possibilities: one on Center Street in Provo and one on Freedom. Julia read the reviews and the one on Center had several reviews that said, "Even better than Bombay..."-- as if that could be true but we wanted to see if it was written by a true food snob like us or by someone who likes the Olive Garden. We went. We ate. We loved! The food was DELICIOUS! So so so so tasty and yes, folks, better than Bombay--cheaper, too! Here is a conversation that took place as we were both stuffing our faces:

Julia: Angie, this is a place where we could bring friends in from out-of-town and hold our heads high knowing that we have a GREAT place to eat.
Angie: A huh...(more vegetarian coconut kurma being shoved in my mouth).

Ahhhhhhh. I love new yummy food!
