Indian Restaurant Biography

Six years ago today (21st August) I wrote the first post in this blog. It is hard to believe how fast six years have gone by. To celebrate the sixth anniversary of this blog, I will write about our visit to an Indian restaurant named Khana Khana. It is a small restaurant located in a place called Hiroomote Hirune along Highway 28 in Akita City.

Hubby and I had lunch at Khana Khana restaurant on 2nd August. The restaurant is located about 50 kilometers away from our home and it took us about an hour to reach there by our car. On reaching the restaurant area, we realized that they do not have a parking lot. But a supermarket named Itoku, located diagonally opposite the restaurant, has a huge parking lot that was almost empty at that time. So we parked our car at the supermarket parking lot.

On entering Khana Khana restaurant we realized that it is a very small restaurant with four tables and only ten customers can eat at a time. But it is a cute and extremely clean restaurant managed by Japanese staff. The restaurant serves authentic Indian food cooked by a Japanese chef and his assistants.

We ordered two types of Thali lunch set. Both the set menu lunch were priced at 850 Yen. I ordered red chicken curry (chicken vindaloo) Thali set and hubby ordered shrimp coconut curry (Goan prawn curry) Thali set. In addition to the chicken curry or the shrimp curry, each lunch set consisted of a dry curry, rice, salad, Papad, and mango pickle. Chicken curry and shrimp curry had a lot of curry sauce. The dry curry of that day was potato and cauliflower cooked in curry paste. The vegetable salad was made of shredded cabbage, tomato and crushed Papad, and was topped with a special curry dressing. The rice used was Indica rice grown in Niigata prefecture. Hubby and I shared our food so that we could taste both the lunch sets. The red chicken curry was hot and spicy while the shrimp curry was mild. The taste of the curries was balanced with the right consistency and went fairly well with Indica rice. We relished eating different curries with various levels of spiciness. All the curry dishes of the lunch sets were served in small steel bowls on a round steel main tray, and it was fun to eat from such cute little bowls. We enjoyed eating Thali lunch sets

We opened in 1990 and are still around, trying to preach the gospel that there really is no food as wonderful as Indian food. Now, almost twenty years later we have converted several connoisseurs; some forcefully, but mostly by offering our seductive cuisine. The critics themselves think we are great and have even given us awards now and then. Some guests have even invited us over to feed their friends, which we do with pleasure, providing fine china, linen and the works. Some just ask us to drop it off and leave, but we watch them through the windows and see them hungrily devour our creations. We have even married a few of our customers off; weddings from 50 to 2000 guests--we've done them all. We love to see everybody here, because this is our social life. We never leave our restaurant night or day, we cut and chop and boil and bake, stir and shake just for you, our dear guests, because we want you back with your friends--even dragging them in by force if you have to - we will be gentle with them. If you throw a party, call us. We'll cater it and it will be the talk of the town for quite a while.
Food has always been a passionate subject for us. We delight in the preparation of it, the presentation of it, and of course, in the partaking of it. We love it here - the Rice Village and Sugar Land Town Square are really our homes away from home - but most of all we love you, our dear guests. So enjoy, and if there is anything we can do to make your experience more pleasurable, do not hesitate to ask.

A recent testimony to it was established in Britain when an Indian restaurant namely Gymkhana was named as the National Restaurant of the Year. Situated in London’s Mayfair area, the restaurant had opened in 13 September and has been widely appreciated by renowned culinary experts in World.

Last Sunday we met up with an old friend for dinner. Because of our schedule, we only get to meet about once a year, so we were really looking forward to it. We chose our favourite Indian restaurant Bukhara for dinner, which was recommended by her years ago.

We have tried many Indian restaurants/ takeaways before, but nothing came close to how good the food is from Bukhara. It is so good that even Muslims will go there for meals. That more or less says it all about how authentic it is.
We ordered some Papadoms with the Pickle Tray while waiting for the starters to arrive. Our friend recommended the green chutney (not very certain what it was), which wasn't on the menu last time we were there, and it was really good! I even had it with my curry to cool it down a bit (we never order anything milder than hot!). Their onion chutney is delicious as well.

We ordered a Garlic Naan and 2 portions of Pilau rice to go with our 2 currys. Their currys are so full of flavours, and I'm not just talking about the spiciness, that you only need a little bit to go with the rice/ naan.

The Pilau Rice was really yummy. Apparently you are suppose to flavour your rice instead of just cooking it according to the package instructions. I'm glad that we could ask our friend for the secret of cooking perfect Pilau rice. Must try it soon! The naan was a bit disappointing not because it wasn't nice to eat, but we all thought that it has shrunk in size by quite a bit comparing to the last time we had it.

We ordered a Lahori Chicken and Chicken Korma. Lahori chicken has a tomato base with finely shredded ginger. It was our friend's favourite chicken curry from Bukhara, and it has become one of our must-order curry as well.
I was never a fan of Chicken Korma because it is sweet and I dislike raisins. This Chicken Korma however, is my favourite curry dish in Bukhara. It is nothing like the korma we know. It is savoury and full of flavours, and none of those dodgy raisins floating about.

The first time we ordered this korma, was for little Abby as we didn't want to order her a children meal. We specifically asked them to put no spices at all in the korma. When it arrived, it was as bland as we have asked for, but there was a lot of left overs. We didn't want to waste food but it was too mild for us, so we asked them to make it hot. Not sure whether it was because they were upset with our fussy requests, the korma arrived with all sorts of chili on top of it, yet it was the best korma we ever had! It was madly hot, but really tasty as well. I don't think the korma we ordered ever since then was as hot as that time, but they were still delicious.

The currys I'd definitely recommend is the two currys above, as well as Karahi Lamb (also recommended by our friend). We normally order the three currys for a takeaway and they can last us for two to three meals.
After you have visited them once, you can really tell that their curry are very different from outside. Our friend has pointed out that that was how homemade currys are like. Not only are they packed with flavours, they aren't as greasy either. You won't see puddles of oil surrounding their currys. I think that any Indian
curry lovers must visit Bukhara.
