IGTC Endorses: Radha Food House, Stone Town, Zanzibar

Because of Helene's eye problems last night, I popped into the Radha to get some take-away. After a pleasant wait watching 20/20 cricket and chatting with the owner, my order of 1 chick pea curry with rice, 1 dal soup, 4 chapatis, 3 papadum and two lassies arrived.

We ate it on our room's little balcony at the Shangani Hotel and oh my, was it ever delicious... possibly the best Indian food I've ever had. Certainly the best dal soup, which was perfectly spiced and peppered with little baby bay leaves... not too picante, either (although this has been our experience of most curries in Africa: they're flavourful but not killer hot).

Two enthusiastic thumbs up...
