After the Durga Puja break, and back at work for just a day, before the weekend, it was only fair that we went on a night on the town with some friends. Since they had started partying at 6:30 pm and were pretty dug in, we decided to join them at DASH, City Center. The place has been around for the past couple of years but this was my first visit.
From the moment we stepped in, I kind of took a liking to it. Small (seat about 20 pax) and yet managed to fit in a small bar with a counter. The menu was interesting too and had a “Dash of this and a dash of that”.
We started with a couple of Tuborg beers and having seen the plates of Crab shells on the plates of Angshuman & Sagar being cleared, we got a fair idea, that this place really did a dash of some interesting food.
So as the Tuborg beers kept coming, we ordered a plate each of Szechuan Chicken, Chilli Chicken & Chicken Satay. The Satay was particularly interesting as I wouldn’t really bet my palate on whether it was authentic Thai, as the chef did manage to give it a dash of that Indian flavour! Interesting! The Szechuan Chicken was hot as promised and had the steam blow out of my ears.
As we wound up and deliberated on the plan ahead, we had the courteous staff eagerly waiting on us to leave as they could shut shop and head home. Did they complain, not one bit, even though we kept them waiting on us, half an hour after it was time for them to pull the shutters down.
It was a lovely experience with friends and some very friendly staff at Dash.
Then we made a dash for the Mecca of Live Music...Some Place Else.
