Don't expect it to come out as quick as they do in the US. What I like is that the pad thai that I ordered had some good kick to it and they gave me a side of the spices as well so I could add some more heat to the dish. Definitely will come back when I'm in town.

3.5 stars Gopala is a casual, hipster restaurant offering…read moreIndian-inspired vegetarian eats. They offer a changing daily menu, always accompanied by a starter salad and juice of the day. The selection on my visit included brown rice with mixed vegetables, mattar paneer (peas, tomatoes, and cheese cubes), vadai (lentil fritters with yogurt sauce), roasted potatoes, roasted cucumber with cheese, and a three-cheese lasagna with tomato sauce. All of the items were prepared simply using almost no spices--some of the dishes had the appearance and inspiration of Indian food but certainly lacked the soul. While the flavors could have been better, this still made for a healthy vegetarian lunch that came at an affordable price, and the meal was capped off with a dessert of bananas baked with brown sugar.

On a chilly Saturday night, I decided to try the new Peruvian place, La Peruana Cevicheria, close…read moreto home and in a few blocks I was inside this colourful restaurant with an extremely friendly bar - the 2 versions of pisco I tried were really nice and not small when it came to serving size. Ask the bartender for his recommendations and he definitely knows how to pamper you. The ambient is laid back, Spanish music in the background and the place is good for quilt bites or small groups (max 4 recommended). Wasn't very hungry so just tried the 'Ceviche Mixto' - the flavours really pop and it's a very nicely served individual portion - you could share it but you wouldn't want to. La Peruana is originally a food truck that has now opened 'cevicherias' - fixed restaurants. The principal staff like the ceviche chef, barman etc are Peruvian and they do a great job. One place I have to return !

It wasn't too crowded when I arrived shortly after 7pm, but it soon became pretty full, reflecting its apparent popularity. I wasn't too sure how to order--are the ceviches intended as a starter or a main, and what size is everything?--but the staff are helpful, and I decided to have anticuchos of veal heart as a starter, followed by the ceviche mixto, and see how I got on with that. I also ordered a Pisco sour, of course. The anticuchos come as two skewers with four slices of meat on each, together with a spicy sauce. This was really excellent, with deep flavours, good texture and just the right amount of food. The ceviche came next, and it looked wonderful, with bright colours and plated appealingly. I sat at the bar, so I saw the chef make each batch of ceviche to order, tasting the marinade each time to make sure it was well balanced between citrus, salt and spice. Mine was surely excellent, and I decided there was no need to have anything else. Pricing is very reasonable, too.
