Eating out:The Indian Chef Restaurant

The Indian Chef Restaurant is located at the foot of the Parliament Building next to Hotel Diplomat in Kimihurura. While this restaurant specializes in Southern Indian cuisine; they do Chinese and African cuisine too.Tandoor Aloo, a combination of smashed vegetables and paneer mixed with Indian masala and stuffed potatoes with mint sauce cooked on tandoor oven, is a crowd puller.On our visit we ordered Fish Tikka, 6 pieces of boneless fish marinated with yoghurt and Indian masala and served with medium spicy, we washed it down with fruit salad with ice-cream. If you are a mushroom enthusiast, you can opt for the Mushroom pepper fry, which is mushroom saunted with onion, chilly, ginger, garlic and flavored masala at Rwf3800.The place also has a wide range of drinks from beers to wines, whisky and soft drinks. A soda goes at Rwf800; a diet coke goes for Rwf1000. Johnson the manager is always around to giver diners a warm reception and to make sure all is well. If you are looking for great food, good service at a fair price out of town, check out this joint. Though it might not be ideal to go there when you are unaccompanied, its serene atmosphere might prove to be a little too much. The Indian Chef’s doors are open Monday to Fridays and serves breakfast as well.The staff: Smart and attentiveThe bad points: No music or TVThe good points: Spacious, excellent service The toilet: Clean
