Lagnaa-Bare Foot Dining
Lagnaa- Bare-Foot DiningLittle India. What a colourful and underrated territory!! How many singaporeans have actually spent time exploring this area?? I was there one evening with my cousin after shopping, searching for a nice north indian restaurant to dine at. Previously, I had the chance to try out at Sree Anantham restaurant, this time round , I was gamed for a brand new experience.Out of the corner of my eye, a flyer distributor caught my attention. He handed me a flyer that was stated, Lagnaa..A Bare Foot Dining. Immediately, I alarmed Badrun that we should die die must try out this restauarnt. *Cause of the phrase: Bare-Foot Dining*I follwed its direction to a sidewalk at upper dickson road. Then, finally, the restaurant caught my eyes. Named, "Lagnaa". If not for that cute guy who gave me the flyer...I wouldn't have known such a restaurant exist.
Lagnaa was a North Indian restaurant that offered bare-foot dining. Which means, you need to take off your footwear before entering the restaurant. *Obviously* Isn't this a very nice dining concept in Singapore? There was this indian dark lady who coaxed us to get our heels off and brought us up to the second level of the restaurant.
We were greeted by low round tables with cushions surrouned at the side
for resting your butts.Soothing atmospheric music played in the background as we made ourselves at home on one of the comfy cushions. I was begining to love the place aready. Nice Ambience.
I was still missing the taste of tea. I knew that I must have it. I love it!!!! Papadam was served while the main dishes were being prepared. Badrun and I were so hungry, that we finished all the papadams.We ordered plain basmati rice with other side dishes. On the lady boss' recommendation, we ordered, chicken tikka masala, mutton masala and aloo gobi(*mashed potato*). 
The chicken tikka masala was, in a word, Awesome. I used a spoon and scooped a bit of the masala and placed it inside my mouth. That's it!!! I was already closing my eyes with and gave out a moan...Hmmmmmmmmmm....* Hahahahahaha* I was slanting behind, about to faint.
Even if the tea wasn't enough to buy me over, upon tasting the gravy, I was completely sold. It had this vibrant and exciting flavour that was very addictive.
Badrun let out a can't wait to try out expression and tried the masala too.
I'm not exaggerating. It was true.
I'm definitely trying it again the next time I visit Lagnaa.
Unfortunately. the mutton masala didn't fare too well. Was something normal that all indian mothers could cook. It was a pity that it didn't taste as good as it looked. The dish, we regret ordering was the aloo gobi. It was too stiff for my liking. Rather bland.
Besides only me and Badrun enjoying the food, the chef of Lagnaa, known as K7, actually made his way out from the kitchen to the dining area and had a small chat session with us. K7 is really an amazing and a cool guy who lives his whole life being a bachelor.
Probably, he must be in his late 40s.
*Guess, he shouldn't be having any problems. Leading a good life though*
That was not the only thing. After your meals and after the payment, we were actually given markers to leave our grafitti on the tiles of the restaurant to keep our memories flowing.
Lagnaa, a perfect experience indeed. All credits go to K7, the indian lady and also the cute guy who worked there as a waiter.
