Papa and I did take out from Mehfil Indian at 2nd and Folsom. I got Meatball Kadahi. The menu explains it as:

(Beef Meatballs cooked with green and red bell peppers and onions)
The big iron wok known as ‘Kadahi’ is used as it gives the best flavor as it keeps all the nutrition’s and the moisture sealed. Meatballs are added to the thick gravy made of onions and bell peppers and are cooked till the oil separates.

The meatballs and gravy were very flavorful and extremely tasty - especially for just $5.50.

For dinner, Tina and I tried an Indian restaurant we hadn't eaten at before called Bombay Oven in Cupertino. We ordered a Chef's Special Thali which came with Lentil Soup, Seekh Kabab, Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Tikka, Naan, Boti Kabab, Lamb Curry, Tandoori Shrimp, and Kheer for dessert. The meats were a bit dry and tough, but the curry and sauces were excellent. We also ordered Aloo Gobhi which was amazing. The cauliflower was perfectly cooked and the sauce and potatoes were extremely flavorful. This place just bumped up to one of our favorite Indian places.
