Indian Mango

Occasion: Dinner with Yining (while it's full light out - weird)
Location: Indian Mango on Frakkastigur in Reykjavik, Iceland (indianmango.is)
Edibles: chicken tikka masala, aloo gobi (stewed potatoes and cauliflower), tandoori lamb kebabs and two sides of rice (we're Chinese - we like our rice)

Musings: The food was great, on par with what I've had in cities with major Indian populations (i.e. Vancouver, New York, London - that's as close as I can tell on authenticity, having never been to actual India). The spices were well-balanced, the meats were tender, the rice, fragrant and fluffly.

The only slight ding would be for price. The meal ran us about $100 after tip, and that's with no beverages at all. A similar meal at Brick Lane would probably come to about $80 all told. So I figure the math works out something like this: New York real estate < Iceland's short tourist season + cost of importing all of the exotic ingredients, and probably a goodly number of the mundane ones.
