We Are talking to Dicks without Leech and pm Krauches Wilhour fear. Bui we Are also  me of the bus tits this Side of Pierre Franey s summer Home. A slim lil Lille storefront named Fred s jumps its mind a place that served up Champion Chow and a truly awesome guacamole Sandwich. And there was Roberto a a cellar Hole Wilh a Kitchen where a slew of 1 3-year.nld waitresses whisked around Plale Fuls of Chicken Mote Ami a frightfully Good dish of onions smothering a Steak of unknown origin. Your first Rule is never ask about the nit in Slippery Bill used to say Between Biles. Never  and we dial not. I Kii to in i do not know whatever happened to the uld ,, but pulling a Slippery Bill has remained a special occasion for very Vurn and me a Gaslin Nokal no Pride night where we go Hunting around for Soori eals in not necessarily so Good surroundings our  find in the Slippery Bill tradition ii a place called Ihu Sudha Indian , a Greasy looking Lille place near Frankfurt s main train station just around the Corner from Kaise Strasse and not far from he Iran air office. The front of the join is fitted Oul like a new Delhi it reel cafe but the Back dining room if a Cluster of five tables deserves hem words is Nice enough if you do nol mind cramped quarters and paper Flowers and if you Are pulling .1 Slippery Bill Mcglaughlin you most certainly do not. Now As anyone who has Ever sampled Indian Chow con Tell you the Way to do in Rihl is to order up a main dish or two and Ihen surround yourself with these varied and assorted Side dishes of bread and curried vegetables and hot and Cool salads and Joe neatly gel your table looking like a picnic lunch out on the grounds of the Taj . We started out Wilh a pile of Capeci. Flat Rice breads that Are j very lot like Pringle potato chips except that they Are the site of jumbo Perry s face. And about the same color if you Nel my Drift. With the bread chips we got a bowl of Chutney and for the asking the recipe for the Chutney which includes Don t Opp cry anything thai looks a Good As the Taj mahal at the Sudha restaurant in Frankfurt. Coconut and garlic and Yourl and onions and Ginger ind tomatoes and which is Damn Fine stuff when taken in Small quantities. Very Vern and me followed hot up Wilh whal they Call Imit it link pile of veggies peppers and Zucchini and cauliflower chunks that have been battered up in Rice flour and sleep Fried and served with a bowl of Curry. I give you a word Here about the Curry they serve Al the Sudha and that is that if you want in hot they will be very willing to Sloke up the Curry and drop kick your table buds Inlo the Neil Nunly. But if you like it a Little on the mild Side the staff there is  to make sure you got the right degree of meltdown of the Mouth no problem. Very Vern and me figure somewhere in the Middle and we Gol pretty much what we ordered spicy enough to cause slight Seal hut without ruining the table of the Beer the main courses showed up shortly after. We re talking a Chicken and Rice Plale 6vryano, a Matching shrimp Biry Viand one of these Indian platters which was a whole slew of Little Metal bowls on a Matching tray Hal sort of looked like the spit equipment Al a de Liscs office. They were filled with curried Lamb and Chicken lentil Puree Rice Yogurt and a Tortilla like hunk of bread. There was also a Little bowl of full cocktail which to my knowledge was not invented in India but hey you never know. Solid Chow All of it. We also got a shrimp and Curry Platter and a bowl of Yogurt and cucumbers to Lake some of the  off during the meal All in All a Good feed that was made better by the fact that the staff seemed real interested in our impressions of Indian cuisine and Huw in is prepared and so Forth. My sole  about the food might be thai the Chicken in the Curry dish still had the skin on and was kind of Boney but whal the hey i still ate it right to finished things off with a lithic cake Ball in heavy syrup that they called a Sweet they Call Al their desserts sweets so that s nol much help and then a Pinch of a Lillif Herhal mixture called  Lull s Biol Betel null and cloves and dried Cucumber seeds and All kinds of other stuff in there and is supposed to Cool off the old Mouth after All that curried Chow. Ii worked on the Mouth but the rest of us was still sweating and so we skipped Coffee and a Brandy Illey gut four brands and headed out to cud Olf and work out our rating while heading for a Beller neighbourhood for starters the place is clean but otherwise pretty worthy of pulling a Slippery Bill night at. The service is Friendly fast and in at least three languages if you need it very Vern and me could t find Faull with the food and the prices Ore reasonable. About Ilo a head will Stoke you up hotter n a frat House on Friday night. And that includes drinks. The Sudha restaurant is located at karts Rasse 11 in Frankfurt. It s open from 11 . To 11 30 pm. Every Day they have take out and they accept most credit cards known to Man. Call 069-232407 if you gel loss or want to make sure one of the tables is saved for you. Very Vern and me give the place three pointy fingers. Rating 2 3 b 2 3 awesome Etta. We re talking Paradise on a plate Here is i 2 2 very line dining. Crack service and memorable food and drink.
