When you move to a new place it takes some time to find "your" new places. Your go to Mexican place. Your most comfy coffee shop. The right amount of laid back bar.
We're starting to make some progress, but we've been here 8 months. I keep hearing things feel more homey at the year mark.
We've been searching for a go to Indian place since we moved and dare I say (we cheated) but we found one!
We've tried several Indian places around the area, Mike has high standards for his Chicken Tikka Masala. ;) And nothing was really clicking, except a place Mike went in the suburbs, which we don't want to hike out to all the time.
A couple weeks ago we were deciding where to go to dinner and decided to stay in the neighborhood and go to one of the places we hadn't made it to yet. We ended up at Sameem Afghan Restaurant. We we surprised to find a wait (a short one) and a bustling restaurant. And we sure did find out why! It was so good! So very very good!
I say we cheated because it's not Indian, it's Afghan. Honestly, Mike was super impressed with their Chicken Teekah Masala and we both found it so similar to Indian food. So in our minds it's our new go to Indian place. And Afghan too. I've never had a go to Afghan place before!
P.S. If you make it there, may I recommend the Mixed Vegetable Plate. I ordered a different vegetarian dish when the waitress suggested it and I'm so glad she did!
