Please, please let things pick up just a bit. The Centennial Gateway retail center at the corner of West Ann Road and U.S. Highway 95 must thrive, because this tiny, delicious restaurant in the middle of a lonely parking lot cannot be allowed to close up shop. Indian Curry Bowl must live!
A big 24-Hour Fitness just opened here, but a Sportsman's Warehouse just closed. There is a Cafe Rio Mexican fast-food spot and a tanning salon, and a Fresh & Easy waiting to open. But everything else is empty in this center, save for the ICB. It's maybe a few weeks old and we've already been twice, and the food keeps getting better. Lamb samosas are my new favorite snack. Curries are complex and delicious, made mild but spiced up at your request. Chicken tikka and lamb vindaloo with potatoes are great, but the favorite dish so far is paneer masala tikka, grilled paneer cheese in a slow-simmered sauce of onion, garlic, ginger, and too many other spices to bother yourself with. Just good. And with freshly made naan bread, especially the potato-filled aloo kulcha, you will be too stuffed to believe this is one of the most healthy meals around. If we have to, we are willing to keep this place in business until the recession relents. Whatever it takes.
Other delicious things consumed yesterday:
Albondigas soup from Frank & Fina's Cocina.
Lime pie from Cafe Deia.
Chili and cheese fondue covered potato chips ("Potato Twister") at LBS in Red Rock.
Cucumber gimlet with Hendricks gin at T-Bones bar in Red Rock.
