IR GTG 2023-03-19 @ The Ladle, PA Shah Rd Connector - Nikhilesh Roy

At 7.45 pm on Sunday 2023-03-19 I was at home feeling terribly tired after a day of hectic work. 

Indian Roadie Nikhilesh Roy called me to enquire about my whereabouts. On getting to know that I was at home, he literally ordered me to leave everything and meet him for dinner at a newly opened food joint, The Ladle on Prince Anwar Shah Road Connector (about a km West from Abhisikta Apartments). 

I dressed up and reached him driving my VW Vento within the next 1 hour. 

The invitation to the treat was to commemorate the purchase of his brand new beauty, a Maruti Suzuki Baleno. 

It had drizzled off and on the whole day. The sweltering heat and high humidity had vanished. Being a Sunday, the EM Bypass was devoid of the usually heavy evening traffic. It was such a pleasant to and fro relaxed drive of exactly 18 kms. 

Thank you, Nikhilesh for getting me introduced to the couple owning The Ladle.  Btw, the chicken fried rice was really good 😘

Indian Roadie Drive For Food to Putiram on 2022-10-17 with Nikhilesh Roy

Indian Roadie Nikhilesh Roy and I drove to the plumbing accessories hub (market) in College Street, North Kolkata on 2022-10-17 afternoon for a lot of work. By evening we were terribly hungry. Nikhilesh suggested that we should walk down to have Singara (samosa), Kachuri (that's how we Bengalis pronounce Kachori) with thick Daal, Darbesh (a special sweet) and Rasogolla at the age old mithai shop Putiram on Surya Sen Street. 

After more than two decades I entered the shop to have Kachuri and Daal. I was disappointed. Local shops in predominantly Bengali localities make far tastier Kachuris. The Rasogolla and Darbesh were nothing great either ☹️ 

Here are some photos from our Indian Roadie Drive For Food.

Drive out for brunch at Azad Hind Dhaba, Uluberia by Indian Roadie Nikhilesh Roy with friends on 2022-01-17

Brunch at Azad Hind Dhaba, NH16, Uluberia (40 kms from Victoria Memorial, Kolkata) with friends on Monday, 17/01/2022. 

The sprawling dhaba with open air dining facilities and ample car parking is a perfect drive to destination which was introduced to us by Deep Banerjee about 6 years ago. The food and the ambience is too too too good. 

Let the Covid situation improve a bit. We in Indian Roadie must drive out to this #IndianRoadiePreferredCafe for a day's outing.
