Bright colors for Indian celebrations, spicy food and digestive sweets

How to find an Indian mood in Florence?

Just going to Via Guelfa, in a very comfortable and welcoming restaurant:

It’s the first time for an Indian taste here, so maybe it’s better to have the fixed-price menu and enjoy several dishes, spicy creams, tikka chicken, vegetables, flavored rice and, obviously, tandoori chicken. Typical products to remember: Pappadam and Puri, two kind of flat bread.

In the meantime, let’s see the place: all those colors drew my attention, green, purple, red, yellow, like the original pigments.

Then, here you are some particular staff shown on the shelf, like these turbans:

Indian hats
Indian turbans

Actually, the traditional names for Indian turbans are ‘Safa‘ or ‘Pagri‘, depending on the kind of tissue they are made of. And generally, the colors depend on the kind of celebration you’re going to have: weddings, birthday or obviously, pale colors as brown and blue for unhappy ceremonies.

Well, let’s finish with the traditional Indian black tea named ‘masala chai‘ and typical desserts (almost based on sugar and coconut) and colorful sweets you’re served at the end of the dinner, in order to help you to digest:
