Indian Brasserie Limited

For Matias, and all of the rest of you who love Indian food, I found the best on the planet at the Indian Brasserie, Limited in London.  This is where my family and I had Christmas dinner, just a short walk from our hotel on Trafalgar Square.

Our meal began with golden meat and vegetable samosas followed by crisp onion bhaji served with some kind of coconut sauce.  Mmmm.  I have to tell you that the English have a way with meat pies and this, combined with fragrant Indian spices, was heaven.   Dinner was Tandoori chicken tikka masala, cooked in exotic spices and fresh cream, very spicy chicken vindaloo, and alu gobi (aka cauliflower and potatoes in a smooth, coconut-curry sauce).  And the nan!  It was soft and hot off the tandoori: simply to die for.

The Indian Brasserie Limited is located in at 18A Rupert Street, Piccadilly Circus, London, right in the heart of the theater district.  Mama Mia was showing at one end of the block, and Cabaret was showing at the other.   

Three forks for this one!

1st thing, I think nothing i to die for but this sounds great. One question, is it spicy cause it sounded like there are some spicy stuff in it.
