In addition to a number of Italian restaurants, Stamford has a number of Indian restaurants. One of the nicest ones in Stamford is Tawa.
My wife and I both like Indian food, however, we haven't had any Indian food since we moved to Stamford last Spring. Last Friday, after trying to have dinner at a few different places we decided to give Tawa a try. We are glad we did.
It probably goes without saying that Indian cuisine is known for its breads. Poori is a whole wheat bread that is deep fried. It comes out puffed up like a ball. To eat it, you simply tear it apart. Within five minutes of it be placed at our table, we tore through the two pieces that came with our order.
After the poori, we had the Malai Kofta and the Mehti Murg. The Malai Kofta is a dumpling stuffed with mixed vegetables. It was lightly fried and served in an almond sauce. This description does not do it justice -- IT WAS FREAKING UNBELIEVABLE. The Mehti Murg is a chicken dish with tomatoes and onion and a hint of yogurt. Indian food is also known for its innovative use of spices. The spices in both our dishes were incredible. My wife and I spent several minutes trying figure out which spices were in each dish.
Our dinner was rounded out with a bottle of Moet & Chandon Imperial Champagne. Champagne goes very well with Indian food. My wife, the wine expert, could do a better job of explaining why, so I won't even try here.
In Stamford, you can be faced with several choices for an Indian restaurant. For the best value and taste, I suggest that you eat at Tawa.
