Out in Saudi for an Indian





Tonight I went in search of food and found this beautiful Indian eatery. It was hidden at the end of a street filled with Chillis, Nandos, Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, Pizza Hut and a Toni Romero's rib house (with no pig).

The Wrong Door


I sauntered in after opening the door for a horrified looking lady who was in the middle of putting on her face veil. I realized straight away that I had entered through the wrong door...(the family door). Red faced I was ushered out of the door around to the other side of the building and shown in through the rear door marked in Arabic and below it in English 'Singles'.

The Green Door (The right door)


I had the most amazing chicken Biriani alone at my 'singles table'




Then I took a longer than expected walk to the 'western supermarket. where I 'scored' some marmite (a 5 year supply in a 50g jar), some vanilla cola, a coffee mug (as the tea cups here are like egg cups) and a six pack of non alcoholic malt flavoured beverage (in Becks bottles)...you never know they could stave off the withdrawal shakes at 3am (after a whole summer of touring with the band).
