Kanda and Nimbu in Jamaica Man?
Akbar's restaurant in Kingston, Jamaica was like any other balti house in any other part of the world - low lighting, generic instrumental bollywood music and CTM. There claim to fame being that they cater for the Indian cricket team. A week of eating local cuisine and we felt like some Indian. A rather disappointing experience, until the Jamaican waiter asked us - " would you like kanda and nimbu?" huh? "kanda and nimbu (onion and lime to accompany the vegetable course)?"...wow he speaks hindi and it comes from spending years working for an Indian restaurant. How cool is that, man?
