Friday night dinner with Bhavik and Pravin at Lahore Karahi
Pravin and Bhavik, two other Mauritian friends in the bay area came to the city yesterday night to go to the Asian Massive concert. We met at my place and decided to have an Indian dinner. My favorite Indian place in the city is in the tenderloin - Lahore Karahi (http://www.yelp.com/biz/lahore-karahi-san-francisco) at the corner of Jones and O'Farrell. Unlike the other similar style Indian places in the city, Lahore Karahi cooks everything from scratch rather than stock sauces and stock meats mixed together + also it is BYOB without a corkage fee. We ordered
- Tandoori Fish
- Aloo Ghobi (potatoes and Califlower)
- Chicken Karahi
- Dal Massala
- Naan
Thai Dinner in the tenderloin with John
My ex housemate from the Memphis days - John Satumba is visiting San Francisco for a conference. We met after work today for dinner and strolled around town a bit and ended up in the tenderloin for dinner at a thai place - Bang San Thai on Jones and Ofarell. (http://www.yelp.com/biz/bang-san-thai-cuisine-san-francisco)
Here's what we ate...
- Vegetarian Spring Rolls
- Fish cakes
- Whole Tilapia with spicy sauce
- Green Curry Salmon
- Mixed Vegetables
- Steamed Rice
The food was delicious, cheap and too much.
Bourbon and Branch - Modern day speakeasy in San Francisco
Last night, I went to have some drinks with Drew, Hilla and Monica at Bourbon and Branch. Hilla is visiting from the Israel office and I thought B&B was one of the nice SF things to show her. Bourbon and Branch tries to have a re-enactment of the prohibition days, trying to be a modern day speakeasy. Its at O'Farell and Jones street in the core midst of the tenderloin.
There's no sign or anything to identify it. All there is a door and a buzzer. You ring in the buzzer and they ask you for the secret word. For every day, they have a secret word and you get the secret word when you make a reservation. Our secret word was 'owl'. The mood, atmosphere, music and setup is very nice inside and it did actually make me feel that I took a trip back in the past. Also, once inside they have a secret wall disguised in a bookshelf. The bookshelf opens up and you can go to the back bar.
They have a huge drink list - some 20 pages or so long. Too many choices. We all got cocktails from the B&B favorites section though. I got the 'Cucumber Gimlet' cocktail. It was so gooooood and refreshing. You could taste the cucumber's freshness in every sip of the drink.
