Taipei's newest Indian restaurant is Cafe India. A clean and cozy place in TienMu with over 100 delicious items on the menu, it's already a hit. Over 150 people showed up for the grand opening and, just two weeks later it, people were lining up outside for a seat. Owner and 25-year veteran chef Pravin Kapoor brought in two 5-star chefs from India, imported all spices, makes the yoghurt on site, and insists on his staff's attention to detail and fine quality of service. It's a vicious rumor that all Indian food is spicy. The food is as spicy as you like, or mild if you prefer. Take the Murgh Patilala (NT$320) a tender boneless chicken with tomato, capsicum and mustard seeds in a thick dry gravy; it's mild, full of flavor and leaves you wanting more. Dinner orders can be placed up to midnight, Saturday and Sunday Lunch Buffets include is different dishes and a free drink at NT$400. Catering and home delivery are also offered. --By Joe Duffer, translated by Echo Tsai
