Yugaraj. 14 rue Dauphine. Paris 6.
There are moments in life when you feel
privileged, watched upon by the gods of beautiful souls and great spice
mix. It felt all too much like a
blessing when my lovely Indian friend forgave me for arriving one hour late for
dinner. And she
welcomed me with a smile. But, my hungry
mind and belly will always be grateful to her for one particular gift she
granted me : she picked an Indian restaurant for us. The seeing leading the blind.
And after the meal she once cooked for me,
and the one we shared at Yugaraj, I understand...
Why millions of people across the world develop inevitable addictions to
Indian food. They must have all tried
the Yugaraj pistachio chicken curry. Or probably anything else on the menu there,
filled with surprises. I bow my head in
respect to a chef who is able to present me with the gift of flavor experiences
I had never lived before.
Now I have to build a shrine.
I'm always delighted with your portraits perhaps because of the way you make us travel with you ... Keep on sharing ! Flo

ReplyDeleteCan't get enough Indian Food. We have a favorite place that we seem to end up at every weekend. Hopefully I will get the chance to try this place one day.
ReplyDeleteIt is a long way since my last good indian food experience, surely at Delhi Beli in Old Nice !! I hope visite this one soon....
ReplyDeleteBerenice, love the way you spread the light!! :-) As an Indian I have to say that Paris is a difficult place to find authentic Indian food...so when you find one, it's a keeper!!
