I've been curious about Middle-eastern cuisine for sometime now. And the visit to Sea Shells on Greams Road, finally happened. The service was quick and the salad served, tasted brilliant. The pleasure in enjoying delectable shawarma, with freshly prepared kubboos, hummus and the stinging tahina (Garlic paste?) was, very very dry. Well, the chaps have no curry in their food, but I really did enjoy swallowing the differently-prepared dishes. The sorepoint: Was left with parched lips and a breath that'd keep women miles away.

I couldn't help ordering some liquid. It was a tumbler of bleached-white super-chilled Apricot ice-cream shake. And they called it Blue Boy ? Was marvellous.

And what's with 'Sea Shells' ? Very confusing moniker, if you consider the cuisine. BTW, the only thing thing about the decor that made the place Middle-eastern, was the air-conditioning. The Arabs in Chennai are crazy.
