I came across a restaurant with a screeching halt
Larger than an elephant, it had a gleaming font
I floated in, and saw a sight
I can't remove from my mind;
Paneer tikka, burnt and smoked,
Shouting invitingly, “eat me before I’m cold”
Potato 65, tangy like lemon and nectar
Drenched in cheese and chopped chilli
Garlic naan, crispy like papad
Crunchy and soft, like roasted marshmallows
Jeera rice, smaller than a grain of sand
Dancing around while cooking
Midnight black, the colour of Dal makhani
Forming an array on the tablecloth!
Fried bhindi, longer than me!
Stuffing my appetite with a single bite.
Strawberry ice-cream, frozen like stones in a refrigerator
Singing melodiously, “enjoy my lip-smacking flavour”
Gulab jamun, an egg about to burst
Like water it melts in your mouth
Ending your meal with a feeling of wholeness...
