It was 6:45 pm on Saturday night. We were whisked away by Ashok's driver in a sparkling clean Toyota. We emerged from the car to see Geeta and her husband, Ashok, right behind us. Geeta wore a sheer black pant and top with a shimmering black wrap with fringes and round hanging earrings that glistened. Absolutely stunning!
The restaurant was named Setz. It was very elegant. The kitchen was surrounded by glass. We were seated overlooking the chefs; they were all dressed in white with perfect white chef hats. There had to be about 30 of them, all quite busy; flames galore.
Sam was given the wine list; Sam, Geeta and Robbin shared a bottle of red Super Tuscan. Robbin was a bit hesitant so Geeta told him to have some salt before drinking the wine and then electrolytes when we got back. Robbin only had about 2-3 ounces, which he enjoyed, but got a hangover at the table!
Ashok ordered an excellent assortment of appetizers; it reminded me of Jav. We had shrimp, tandoori chicken, and a lamb roll - all with an assortment of delicious chutneys.
Then he ordered another assortment including chicken biryani with raita, chicken tikka masala, fish & a small bowl of dal. It was all so deliciously tasty! The finest.
For dessert, I had 2 scoops of dark chocolate gelato; scrumptious!
There were conversations all night about music, favorite movies, family stories, travel plans and more. It was a lot of fun. They were great hosts.
We all thanked them and Ashok's driver took us home - it was about 11:00 when we arrived.
