Thought For Food: First Time Trying Out A Dish In First Time At Desi Restaurant In Bradenton - IMRAN® 

This past Sunday marked my first time in Bradenton in quite a while. As the evening grew late, I decided to stop for dinner before heading home. I passed a Desi restaurant I had never visited before and chose to try it—my first time at that establishment.

Once seated, I faced a familiar decision: Chicken Tikka Masala (this pic), is a staple in my visits to Pakistani or meat-serving Indian restaurants. But I also wanted to try something new. The menu offered a sweet mango chicken dish, which briefly caught my attention. However, I prefer the sharper, more traditional Pakistani pickled mango chicken—unavailable here.

Instead, I opted for the staff’s recommendation: a yogurt-based chicken dish with herbs and spices. It was my first time trying that preparation. The dish was acceptable, though not memorable. Still, the overall food quality and service were quite good, making the experience worthwhile.
