Just this past week, Ms. Dish and I were visited by our friends from the West, Lefty and Righty. Since L&R are vegetarians, we decided to take them to India Square in Jersey City for some vegetarian Indian food. We found ourselves at Sapthagiri:
I really like Sapthagiri in that it is exotic to a guy like me, but still very welcoming. It certainly did not hurt that on this trip we had Righty with us, who knows his way around an Indian menu. He went to work ordering and as dish after dish came out from the kitchen each seemed progressively more delicious. I hate to even bring it up, but the most surprising part of the night may have been the check which was about half of what we were expecting!
If you're like me, you may be wondering what "Sapthagiri" means. According to The Internet, it is a hill in Tirumala, India consisting of seven peaks. The peaks are taken to represent the seven heads of the deity Adisesha.
Aside from being a vegetarian's paradise, Sapthagiri is also a spoon-swappers paradise, as each dish comes with its own spoon. Here is our new Spoon number 38:
Marked "Winco Stainless 18-0", this looks like a Winco "Dots" spoon, just like #35. 38 is just a little different in that the "Mysterious Winco 8" at the bowl is not in a circle.
Stay tuned Spoon-swappers, as Ms. Dish and I have a bit of a road trip planned!
