To be fair, Chote Nawab was not our initial destination, but it turned out to be an incredibly afternoon of deliciousness. The restaurant we intended to eat at (whose name I will with-hold since we didn’t actually eat a bite there) did not have even one thing on the menu that was gluten and/or dairy free, meaning I would not be able to eat. So on we went, and a few moments later walked into Chote Nawab. This was the best accident we could have had happen. Upon walking in, we were very warmly welcomed and seated right away. The restaurant is very new and has a chic modern decor, that was comfortable and warm. We were brought menus and water right away. We also were offered drink menus, which due to the fact that it was still mid-afternoon and we all had classes were politely declined.
We quickly decided on what we would order, myself going for the chicken saag – a delicious mix of cubed chicken and heavily spiced spinach, very similar to creamed spinach (minus the cream). Along with that I had some rice, and dal, made of lentils. They also brought naan bread to the table, but sadly I was not able to eat any of that due to it being gluten laden. It looked just as delightful as everything else that was on the table.
I have eaten at my fair share of Indian restaurants in the city and have to say, Chote Nawab is high on the list of them. The quality was very high, the flavors awesome, and the atmosphere and service equally great. I will definitely be going back, and I will be bringing friends!

It was a concise review. I love the element of surprise when eating, so I really liked how you added in the anecdote to your blog post.
I would have loved if you described the food more closely. Also the description that you did have made me wish there was a picture! Hopefully, you can add one in at a later time.

Ive actually been pretty burned by Indian food. In Scotland i met the nicest Indian man who told me to try it again now that I’m older (I was 12 at the time). What do you think? Does food taste different with age?

It is a nice but, short review. I think you need to describe more about the food and décor of the restaurant. And a picture would add more plus to the review. But, I was glad that you were able to enjoy the dairy free food over there. Indeed, we really had a great time on that day.
