Alexander the Great was indeed delicious

While I haven't been in an Indian restaurant for ages, thanks to my best friend and fellow blogger, I had the opportunity to do so last Wednesday night at Iskander restaurant in the southern suburbs.

"Iskander" Hindu for our great Greek ancestor, Alexander the Great, was a reminder of how much I love Indian cuisine, the spices, the taste the ambiance.
The whole space was completely decorated with Indian artifacts, from carved wooden statues to the bronze Buddha who welcomed us by the entrance (not to mention the music).
A party of no less than 12 attending, occupied one of the longest tables available in the room. All Aude Sapere members present (of course), we stuck together on one end and mingled mostly with each other as the rainfall of Indian delights kept coming like a rainfall thus preventing us from further talking with the other end.
Not having the slightest idea of what we were eating the guessing game begun.
"this must be chicken" "this must be lamb" and so on, but one thing was certain. We tried everything and it was delicious. Curry being present in almost every single dish, from the entrees to the salads and even the main course, we couldn't help but appreciate and acknowledge the importance of spices in meals, or as others would say, in our very life.
It seems that Alexander the Great had left some significant heritage beyond civilization, the heritage of the excellent mixture of tastes.
The only thing that wasn't Indian must have been our red wine, which was from Chile, but no point of mentioning it as it was fine and obviously well consumed.
A great thanks to Rahid, our dedicated waiter with his humble smile who ensured we had everything to our satisfaction.
