So where is this mystery restaurant that we are going to?
那我们到底要去哪家神秘餐厅呢?
It’s an Indian restaurant! I know you have never had Indian food, so I thought you might want to try.
是一家印度餐厅!我知道你没吃过印度菜,所以想着你可能会想试试。
That sounds great! I am craving some type of beef dish.
听起来不错!我正想吃点牛肉做的菜。
Well, Indian cuisine actually doesn’t serve beef. You see, cows are a sacred animal, a very important element inthe Hindu religion, so beef is not eaten.
嗯,印度菜其实不吃牛肉。你看,牛是神圣的动物,在印度教里是非常重要的元素,所以不吃牛肉。
I see, so what are we having? Chicken?

Sounds good! I have always heard that Indian spices give a rich flavor to food.

Yeah. Also, we can have some Naan bread which is baked in a tandoori oven. Since you don’t use any utensils to eat, you can use this bread to scoop upthe curry or rice.
是啊。我们还可以点馕饼,是用土窑烤的。因为不用餐具吃,你可以用这个饼来舀咖喱或米饭。
What about veggies?
那蔬菜呢?
They have a good variety of vegetable based dishes like palak paneer, vegetable samosas or Daal.
他们有各种各样的蔬菜类菜肴,比如菠菜奶酪、蔬菜咖喱角或者豆汤。
