As Manish has been craving gobi manchurian for a while, we decided to go another Indian restaurant, despite just having gone to one the day before. This time, together with Mark, we went to a South Indian, specifically Kerala, restaurant in Culver City. I decided on one of my favorite Indian dishes, bhindi masala; Manish naturally ordered gobi manchurian (despite it not being on the menu); and Mark got lamb biryani. The bhindi masala arrived first, and it was spectacular, easily one the best I have had. The gobi manchurian arrived next, and it was even better! I have not had cauliflower tasting so good before. The lamb biryani arrived last, and it did not live up to its high expectations, expectations brought high by the amazing first two dishes. Nonetheless, our appetites were very satisfied after the meal. I will definitely pay Mayura another visit soon.
