I agree, it was a much nicer showing than most lunch buffets I’ve been to in the past. You’re spot on about the rice pudding… once you start, it’s so tempting to continue. :)

The balance of the spices is subtle and just perfect. Even their lunch buffet is way above any other such bufets I ever ate in the city. And I have to seriously stop my self from polishing off the large bowl of self-serve rice pudding.

I was aware that this is originally an Afghan dish, but I was also under the impression it was quite popular in Pakistan as well, hence the Pakistani favorite bit. I didn’t know it was only a minority there that regularly eats this dish, so thanks for writing in!

There is a minority population of Pashtuns(one of Afghanistan’s major ethnic tribes) in Northern Pakistan, but it is definitely Afghan food.

Your take on my Save Our Faves 2007 meme hit the nail square on the head. Thanks for participating!

I’ve been lactose intolerant ever since junior high. It definitely is no fun. Thanks for the Yoda comment, though. Appreciates it, Yoda does. :)

But I am going to add “thoughtful and very well-mannered like Yoda,” because after reading how you provide directions via the MUNI lines, I can totally imagine you being someone who opens doors for ladies and who puts his coat over puddles for grandmothers!

Also, in response to your question: Why yes, I am lactose intolerant! Unfortunately, I became lactose intolerant in high school and it has plagued me and my companions ever since. …But, I am sure that is a lot more than you wanted to know!

Well, your posts are witty and charming, so although I haven’t actually met you, I assume that the same would be true of you as well :D

Chutney is tasty too! Though unfortunately I haven’t been in awhile. I hear about Indian Oven a lot, so it’s somewhere on the list but I still haven’t made it yet. Perhaps I should bump it up?

You called me “witty and charming!” And I loved the post! You did the meme so much more justice than my feeble attempt. I’ve never tried Darbar before, but I’d have to say that my favorite Indian place in the city is Chutney, which is on Jones and O’Farrell. But with mango pickles and goat curry, it appears that the authenticity and selection of Darbar is unrivaled.

Also, have you ever tried Indian Oven? I’d say that place has the best plain naan I’ve had in the City.
