Bombay dreams!

Last night we had a great night out in Pigneto. We started with glasses of red wine and a delicious platter of bits and bobs at Bar Necci - one of the best places in Rome (see below). Then we went to the amazing Tiger Tandoori just around the corner. Like desert travellers stumbling towards an oasis of spicey goodness, for once we were in our culinary element and knew much more about what was going on than most of the people there. The Fritti Misti - mixed fried stuff (pappadums, bhajis, samosas, etc.) - were immense and looked great served on a wooden board. The Chicken Tikka Masala, Goan Fish Curry with Idli, and the Kingfisher were all splendid. We feel properly topped up now.



The inside of Tiger Tandoori is a great mix of eye-popping decor, retro Bollywood posters and diner-esque vinyl-covered booths. Very cool. When we read up about it this morning we were unsurprised to discover that the people behind the rejuvenation of Bar Necci also set up Tiger Tandoori.
