I often look for an Indian place in the cities where I'm on my second (or more frequent) trip. After all, there's only so many schnitzels one can eat in Vienna, for example. My basic approach to finding a place is to use Google Maps, search for (in this case) "indian restaurant" and see what comes up. Demi Tass was the highest-rated place in the G-Maps aggregation. It wasn't that far from the metro, so off I went.
Palak Soup. Spinach-cream soup, not too spicy. Good starter.
I had a couple of glasses of the house red with the meal. One of the downsides of my European dining adventures is I often just order the house red or house white, and forget to ask what it actually is. Rarely is the wine bad, and I don't want to spend a fortune when I'm by myself.
Lamb Buhna, rice, and nan.
Lamb in a tomato sauce with lots of green onion in it. Spicy, but not overwhelming. The lamb was tender and tasty. Loved the tomato and onions combined with the meat; it all made for a tasty sauce. The rice was aromatic and flavorful, and the nan cooked up just right.
Being from New Orleans, I always bristle a bit at being charged for bread (like in an Indian or a tapas place, but you gotta do it to get the sauce properly.
"Mango Coup." OK, this was worth the price of admission. Fresh fruit and vanilla ice cream. I'm glad I didn't gorge on the rice and nan!
I'll be back to Demi Tass on my next trip to Vienna.
