What's wrong with having curry for your first date?

🍛 Tashan: Bedford’s Indian Gem—Big Portions, Bold Flavors, and No Omakase Required Why splurge on omakase for a date or blind date? This spot in Bedford serves up huge portions, vibrant dishes, and flavors that hit way harder than overpriced sushi. As someone who’s “woken up” to the hype vs. substance of fancy dining—this place is a revelation. 🥘 The Must-Tries (Flavor + Value = Win) Pani Puri (Indian Street Crispy Balls): 🌶️ Perfectly balanced. Crunchy shells filled with tangy, spicy-sweet liquid—explosive in the best way. A total crowd-pleaser to start. Masala: 🕉️ Rich, aromatic, and full of depth. It’s the kind of base that elevates every dish—you’ll want to soak it up with naan (don’t skip the naan). Lamb Curry with Bone: 🐑 Tender, fall-off-the-bone meat swimming in a fragrant, slightly spicy sauce. Authentic, hearty, and so satisfying. Spiced Chicken Biryani: 🍚 Fragrant rice, juicy chicken, and just the right kick of spice. No dryness here—each bite is packed with flavor. 🍨 The Sweet Send-Off Indian Rainbow Ice Cream: 🌈 A colorful, creamy dessert with subtle spice hints (think cardamom or saffron). Light enough to end the meal on a high, not a heavy note. Portions are massive, plating is eye-catching, and the flavors impress without trying too hard. Let’s be real—if your date insists on overpriced omakase? Maybe they’re not the one. As part of the “enlightened crew,” I say: let them treat you here. You’ll both leave full, happy, and maybe even planning a second date. 📍 Tashan: 213 Burlington Rd, Bedford. Skip the fancy stuff—this is where it’s at. #BostonIndianFood #DateNightWins #FoodOverHype
