Desi Wok
We were out shopping tonight and were going to buy an entertainment center. Well, I was hungry, the store closed at 7:30 and I realized that we had to eat first because the box would be in the back of the truck. We were over at 41st and Sheridan, so my wife suggested we go to Panera Bread. We had just been there, but I knew it was fast.
As we pulled in, I noticed the sign for what I thought was Chinese food -
Desiwok - Indian and Asian Cuisine - Tulsa, Oklahoma. Note that the word ‘Indian’ was nowhere on the sign. I asked The Monster (my son) if he wanted to eat there or at Panera? Well we had just eaten at another Panera a couple of days ago (after an indoor soccer game) and we have a tradition of trying new Chinese places. So in we went.
As we entered, Stacy (my wife), started to wonder if it were Thai or Indian. MMM. Well, it had both Chinese and Indian entries. I wanted to try the Curry Chicken, but I really like the pale yellow one with coconut. They said they had a brown curry. So, I went with the Chicken Vindaloo - and I took it medium hot.
My son went with Sweet and Sour Chicken - my wife had already eaten. We started to wonder when they asked how hot he wanted it. We said mild.
By the way, the sign on the way out said it was Tandoorian style.
The rice ended up being Cumin and not the sticky steamed rice he likes. And the Sweet and Sour chicken looked glazed. Normally a sign that it is bad. He tried the rice, with and without Soy sauce. He didn’t like it.
My wife took him next door to get a bagel. I ended up eating all of mine. I can normally handle spiced food, but if that was medium, I don’t want to try hot without more Nan.
I tried a piece of pineapple from his dish - the sauce was spiced, but good. I didn’t want to try the meat.
When they came back, I got my wife to try the dish and she sat there picking at it until I left. She said it was better than it looked.
Overall, I will be going back at lunch time during the week. My wife said that if we didn’t have The Monster with us, she would be willing to dine with me if I was hungry for it.
The place is very casual - you get your own drinks for example.
