Queen Vic's

I NEED tell you all about this place I tried for happy hour last night!  It's called The Queen Vic Pub and Kitchen on the north side of Richmond just west of the Kirby intersection here in Houston.  I've been wanting to check it out and my partner-in-crime friend, Vicky, came with me and we salivated over the menu of Indian/Gastropub options.  Lovely European decor and cozy (think a more intimate Feast, perhaps!) and a good place for getting together for an evening of relaxing after work or playing catch-up with a friend or two.

Our happy hour choices:
vegetable samosas
mini-burgers with chutney
saag pizza
bottle of house wine for $20

No regrets. In fact I've been thinking about that delicious pizza all day and wondering how they pulled it off (I don't even love pizza!).  This would also be a great way to introduce a person to Indian flavors who might otherwise be leery (Hello, brother John), though this is not a problem for Vicky or myself.  In fact, being a WhIndian, she's quite the experienced eater-of-Indian-food (north-west Indian, I believe) and approved of the culinary inventions.

I'll be working on the best way to do my posts, and try to incorporate a lot of photos, but last night I didn't take any because I didn't know I'd be doing this blog today!
