India, West Hartford

When you move from one country to another country you probably carry your food memories along with all the other memories. After moving from India to the US, we visited many Indian restaurants from East coast to West coast. Most of the time, I failed to get that authentic Indian taste. Most restaurants had the same taste and same color whether its chicken Tikka or vegetable Korma. Somewhere, I lost interest in visiting Indian restaurants. But, there are a couple of times when you get that taste you are looking for. We recently heard that a new Indian restaurant had opened nearby to our city. I was hopeful to visit because it is the Thali brand, it is popular for its incredible Indian taste. India, West Hartford was a good find. We were there for lunch. Modern contemporary, clean set up was great with Indian touch like displaying framed saree and using colors like scarlet red and jet black which you rarely see in an Indian restaurant in the US. We recently visited India. For lunch they have options like a small plate(appetizer) and big plate(main course), you can choose one item from each. You have an option for vegetarian, vegan and nonvegetarian to glutton free. I ordered from small plate Jinga Manchurian (Shrimp Manchurian) and my husband ordered Chicken Tikka and our 7-year-old son Samosa (It comes with two Samosas). Everything tasted very delicious, rightly coated with spices and cooked to perfection. India, West Hartford is a good choice for family lunch or dinner outing. Kids friendly indeed. Food tastes better when served with love and care. The manager also came to check few times, if everything is perfect. His interacting with the kids to make them comfortable was a good part. The Waiter also came to check on us regularly.

For the main course, I ordered Chicken Kathi and my husband Paneer Tikka Masala, it came with basmati rice and for our son Malai tikka.Kathi roll is a good option for lunch. Chicken Tikka is a must try and that kind of tikka taste is rare to find near Hartford area. For dessert, we ordered Chenna Rabri(Sweet cheese ball with heavy cream). Parking might be little tricky as it is in the heart of the blue back square. But, there is a public parking area near to the restaurant and some street parking is also available. They have a different menu for dinner with an array of choices and for Sunday street style brunch menu looked quite interesting too. It is worth a visit if you want to taste delicious Indian cuisine. I am looking forward to my next trip soon.

My favorite pieces of Assamese Traditional jewelry

My grandmother's thuria, age-old and heirloom jewelry, of course, not part-able A piece of jewelry echoes a region's rich heritage, aesthetics and sensibilities and Assamese jewelry does not differ from that. A piece of jewelry not just enhances the wearer's beauty but identity as well. A land of flamboyant rivers engulfed in exotic flora and fauna, birds, musical instruments Assamese jewelry is highly inspired by that. Sharing a few assamese pieces of jewelry from my personal collection. An Assamese bride's dress up is incomplete without Assamese jewelry. Traditionally Assamese jewelry is purely handmade. The main frame is made out with 24-carat gold and lac is used as a filling material. Stones are studded on the top. The creatively and meticulously studded stone craftsmanship resembles with pomegranate seeds. The color and texture of the stone are opulent and lurid just like pomegranate. Nowadays imitation Assamese jewelry are als

Keeping it simple-random things about me

You will find more solid colors then prints or patterns in my wardrobe. 3. Am I fitnes

Bartaco, West Hartford , Connecticut review

It was a usual February day, the chill felt like tucking in the furry comforter and stay cozy at home. But, the matter of the fact was that it was my birthday and my family wanted me to take out for dinner. I was reluctant and wanted to stay at home. My little one was after me and I couldn't say no. I had no clue where we were heading for dinner and then here we were at the Bartaco. Vivacious Bartaco instantly took away my winter sluggishness. With a gracious greeting, modern contemporary laid back sitting and a bit of hustle and bustle made me alive in the winter freezing February. The high ceiling, ivory walls, earthy light shades stroked a tropical vibe and the food spoke a lot about Mexico and Latin America. As a sober, I chose housemade pomegranate lemonade and hubby got grapefruit ginger juice. I never had pomegranate lemonade before, I must say it was one of the coolest and refreshing lemonade I have ever had. The tint of lemonade not just took the look but
