Post-Concert Indian Food

It has been our tradition to go out to eat sometime during a concert weekend. You can read about the Claremont Concert Orchestra concert on my music blog. This post is about a new place for Indian food.

I was hankering for some Indian food, so checked on yelp and found good reviews for a brand new place in Upland called the Delhi Bazaar. It has been open for 8 weeks. It is a grocery store and you order at the counter. You can eat at one of the tables or take out. We chose to take out.

When we walked in, two gentlemen greeted us warmly and happily told us all about their food selection and even talked us into Mango Lissi - a yogurt/mango smoothie. While one man was making up some special curry that I requested, the other started talking to us and Hal said that he has made Dal. That got them talking and pretty soon we had added a few pounds of dry lentils and a package of spices to our order.

We had samosas with chutney, gobi cauliflower, the yellow curry with cheese chunks, and matar paneer (curried peas and cheese), and everything was very, very good. They gave us a small amount of a sauce they call "the silent killer" and it was way too hot, even for Hal, the kimchi lover.

We will definitely go back.
