Raj Darbar - Restaurant 20 (and Indian Garden - Restaurant 21)

After golfing at beautiful Lake Opeka (see below), we had planned to meet some friends up in Evanston at the Blind Faith Cafe for dinner. Unfortunately, Susan got stuck in such an enormous traffic jam on the way home from golf (welcome to city life :^) that we weren't able to make it on time. So we decided to walk down and try out an Indian restaurant called Raj Darbar not too far from where we live, near Diversey and Halsted. This is the best Indian food we've had here yet. (Earlier in the blog we mentioned Standard Indian. We had also visited Indian Garden on Devon which was better than Standard Indian, but still probably not a restaurant we'll be returning to soon.) At Raj Darbar, Susan had chicken shahi kurma and Kate had saag paneer. They were both quite good, but we both agreed that Susan's was the better of the two. The atomsphere was also quite pleasant and the prices were very reasonalbe. All in all it was pretty good compensation for missing our date for dinner in Evanston. We're looking forward to stopping in at Raj Darbar again and checking out some of the other entrees!
