paneer tikka masala


A classic, even in its frozen form, due to the curry. Ideally best not to have frozen food that may come from India, but due to the curry, everything changes. As the saying goes, curry changes everything.

Magic Hour Tea


It would be correct to say we spent a magic hour at Magic Hour Tea in Ojai. This pleasant space gets overlooked, and shockingly so on a Friday when half of Los Angeles filled up the rest of the arcade plaza. Oh well, that just meant a more peaceful interlude of well-crafted tea for us.

Cajé corner


The corner in Cajé where I sat for the first time, waiting for my drink. The design here is mostly good, except for a few narrow areas by the busy entrance.
