This week I went to an Indian restaurant called Khana
Khazanah. It is at 2118 N. Knoxville. They serve “fine home style Desi cuisine
with traditional Indian curries”. I had never had Indian food before, but this
was an excellent first experience! This is definitely one of Peoria’s hidden
gems.
They have a daily special lunch platter for $4.99. They prepare different
entrees for this special every day. These were the option when I went. I got
the Chicken Manchuria and Achari Chicken Curry. My friend got the Chana Masala
and Chicken Manchuria. (My meal is on the top and his is on the bottom.) Both lunches came with a soup and homemade flat bread,
which dipping the flat bread in the soup was yummy!
Khana Khazanah was very small and not very imaginative in their decor, but the food was awesome! Especially for a five dollar lunch special. It definitely beats going to McDonald's and clogging your arteries. Instead you can come here and get some authentic cuisine that you may actually enjoy eating!
That food looks delicious. It seems like so many people (myself included) are intimidated by Indian food because of lack of familiarity. My older brother has been into it for awhile and had to cook it at home for my family to force us to try it and we were all pleasantly surprised.
ReplyDeleteIn my childhood this was originally Mr. Doughnut. It eventually became Dunkin' Donut and then a bit of everything since. Sounds like the food is good, so hopefully it will be this for a long time to come.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't really sure what the proper way to eat the food was, so I just went for it. Might have been culturally incorrect, but it still tasted good!
