The temperature was just perfect, and we rather enjoyed our walk on the beach and watching the beautiful ocean under the sun. We didn&#8217;t stay long as I had to go to a friend&#8217;s birthday party in Surrey later, and we decided to have an early dinner nearby. Mom never had Indian food, so I found ourselves a local Indian restaurant, Connaught Place Indian cuisine, with a pretty high rating on Zomato.<\/p>\n<p>It was a little tricky to find the restaurant because the it was hidden in the back of a strip mall full of restaurants. While looking quite simple outside, inside the place it was quaint and elegant. The seats and tables were neatly placed and looked super clean. The artworks on the walls were quite magnificent. I already started to like this little place.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4914\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4914\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_6096.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4914\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_6096.jpg\" alt=\"Connaught Place Indian Cuisine\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_6096.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_6096-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_6096-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_6096-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_6096-70x53.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4914\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Connaught Place Indian Cuisine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4913\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4913\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_6097.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4913\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_6097.jpg\" alt=\"Connaught Place Indian Cuisine\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_6097.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_6097-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_6097-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_6097-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_6097-70x53.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4913\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Connaught Place Indian Cuisine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Getting a Kingfisher is always a must for me at any Indian restaurant &#8211; a clean and pleasant tasting beer that works great for cleansing the palette in between dishes with complex dishes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4912\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4912\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_6099.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4912\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_6099.jpg\" alt=\"Kingfisher Beer\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_6099.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_6099-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_6099-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_6099-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_6099-70x53.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4912\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kingfisher Beer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I ordered a Mango Lassi for Mom.
