Chakra

Finally. There is a decent Indian restaurant in Tallinn. Chakra opened couple of weeks ago. I've been walking by it and so I went tonight. It is good, real good. You will be reminded of all the reasons why you love Indian food, it's fresh, fragrant and you'll get all the spices. Don't get me wrong I do enjoy a plate of young boiled potatoes with fresh dill, that is so popular at this time of the year, but my heart lies with spices... and parties with spices ... and dances with spices... and so on...

I got a battered and fried chicken appetizer that came with three different dipping sauces. Mild one based on yogurt, dark chutney - possibly black plum, but I could be wrong and a real nice green spicy something, that made my tongue curl up with joy. Followed with a lamb curry that was nice and spicy, but managed not be one-dimensionally hot, instead there was deepness to the whole tasting experience. You know, it starts off by hitting the tip of your tongue, then carries over to the sides and finally just flattens the whole dorsum with a little party of your own.

Now, I also had a naan, possibly my favorite bread. Unfortunately, that was a disappointment. No biggy though, bottomless pit that I am, I managed to stuff myself until I was noxious. Portions are generous. So go now, you never know how the economic downward spiral will effect this one. Building is nice, place pleasant, waiting staff friendly and smiling, if not little rough around the edges, but they have been open for a short time.
