everyone needs a good restaurant in the neighborhood

Ashley and i will be living just a couple blocks from each other, with a fantastic South Indian restaurant conveniently located between our houses (surprisingly enough, Belize actually has a sizable East Indian population). we discovered it a month or so ago, and have made it a regular stop. it's owned by a couple from Kerala. mom does the cooking, dad waits on the customers and their two young sons watch cartoons and Indian soap operas and ride their big wheels around the outdoor dining area. and they serve a mean dhosa. i went there last week with Maya, who happened to be on the phone with her father when we arrived. as we walked up to the counter, she handed her cell phone to the proprieter and said, "my dad wants to talk to you." at which point he gave her a puzzled look, took the phone, and immediately started chattering away with my uncle in Malayalam. a fascinating way to begin any meal! and the world just keeps getting smaller...
