Still amused, just different camera settings. If you haven't noticed, that's quite a chair.	J's no longer amused. Apologies for all these pictures; I don't like deleting or selecting pictures, so I simply uploaded them all.	Me, taking notes. I love the background; I think it gives a great impression of the feel of the restaurant.	Our friend/host and N examine the menu.
This is likely the goan masala fish: "boneless pieces of river sole cooked with capsicum, tomato and onion, flavoured with curry patta and mustard seeds." It was very good.	This is probably the butter chicken. It's a common dish that I've had many times and this definitely ranks with the top examples I've seen.	I think that's a piece of the blackened "parsi sea bass (paatra ni nacchi)" and its accompanying coconut rice. Also visible is the good lemon rice.	Malai kofta (cheese balls stuffed with nuts). Great; definitely the best I've ever had.
We also ordered a variety of drinks. Many of the mixed drinks they mixed at the table: very cool. My mojito was quite respectable. I'm also amused that the bar menu also lists cigarettes.	We had a variety of roti delivered throughout dinner. Sorry, I didn't bother to photograph them.	Our host, and a mirror.	N and J listen earnestly.
My notes say "Shadi - definitely tastes like shadi."	Fahrai (sp?). An Indian variant on rice pudding. This one wasn't as good as the previous day's (which I wasn't a great fan of anyway).
