I went to Top of India in Spokane Valley to shoot some food for next weeks lunch review. The proprietor brought out some pillav rice, butter chicken and chicken curry, dessert and lassi. Fantastic! As I started shooting she told me, "Wait this isn't all."

Food Photo Shoot

A short while later she brought out some dipping sauces, vegetarian somosas, tandoori chicken and lentil soup. Again I started taking pictures.

"No, no, no. It isn't ready yet."

But Wait This Isn't All!

Still a little later, we were ready with the addition of garlic naan and these crisp lentil chips. I gratefully sucked down the lassi as they bagged it all up for me to take home. The verdict: delicious!

The Spread

That looks fantastic. I'm hungry just looking at it. Good photo work.

That's pure torment, you know.

We still haven't located the nearest Indian restaurant. Sneaking suspicion is that the "nearest" is at least twenty miles away.

I'll bet there is a decent dim sum place there though. I am suffereing serious little snack withdrawals.

No... that's the worst part. Elk Grove incorporated only about five years ago, and it's still in über-suburban mode. Chevy's, Chili's, freakin' Cali-Mex all over the place, but very little non-chain restarauntage.

So for real restaraunts you have to go to to downtown Sac, which is fifteen-twenty miles one way.

That is horrible. Caliornia owes you some convenient shrimp balls.

I imagine you're not really spoilt for choice for Indian restaurants in Spokane (though I hear it's the new Peruvian) but DIZZAM, that looks tasty. If you can find it, try Bangladeshi, had it last week and ... yes. :D India: We do marvellous things with lentils!
