Wellesley Foodies Welcome Singh’s Cafe

Spices

Part of the allure of travel has always been experiencing the cuisine of other lands.

And now part of the allure of Wellesley is the diverse restaurant scene that is evolving in town.

This week marked the opening of Singh’s Cafe, 312 Washington St., in Wellesley Hills.

While the building is the same as the one which previously housed Vela’s, that’s where the similarity ends.

Newly painted in cheerful, vibrant colors this purveyor of fine Indian cuisine is helmed by Master Chef Harpreet Singh, well known for both his mastery of North Indian Punjabi flavors and fresh ingredients, as well as for his Somerville eatery, The Kebab Factory.

Mouthwatering aromas fill the air, along with the rhythmic sounds of Indian music.

The service is very attentive – from the mid-meal greeting of Chef Singh, the ‘Zagat designated Spice Scientist;’  right through to the young fellow making sure that you never want for water.

For the opening, the format was a buffet dinner, and I have to say that even though buffets are not my first choice for fine dining, Singh’s Cafe did a very  credible job with their buffet selection.

Appetizers are served to you at your table, as are drinks from the full bar.  We enjoyed samosas filled with ‘mildy spiced potatoes,’ and marinated chicken tenders.

The bartender chose a spicy, full-bodied red wine for us, but King Fisher and Taj Beer were also in plentiful supply.

Warm and hearty, Chana Masala is chick peas cooked in traditional north Indian spices, served with basmati rice.

Plain paratha, traditional unleavened bread, accompanied the buffet items/entrees.

Unfamiliar with a number of the entrees, I was delighted to discover the delicious and reasonably  priced Punjabi cuisine now available right in Wellesley!

A weekday lunch buffet is served from 11:30 am – 3:00 pm.

Take a Peek – Twitter Style!

While the Twitterverse continues to grow, those doing the tweeting have for the most part, been focused on the software component which allows the microblogging service to establish its role as an essential tool in our daily dialogues.

The folks at Twitter however, have been looking at yet another side of the Twitter equation, and that is hardware – hardware that will continue fleshing out all that is Twitter.

Tweet Peek - Stylish Tweeting On The Go

The First Mobile Device Dedicated Exclusively To Twitter - Twitter PeekWSJ http://bit.ly/LQ5DO

Someday, that may mean scales that tweet that it’s time to cut back on the carbs, tweets that prod us to begin preparing our taxes, home fire detectors that will send us a tweet when it’s time to change batteries…you get the idea.

But today, the first product to roll off the Twitter hardware conveyor belt launches – and it’s Twitter Peek!

Aimed at gadget geeks, teenagers, twitter addicts, and maybe those not inclined to twitter from a smartphone or fully powered computer, Twitter Peek isn’t shy.

Stylin’ in Twitter Blue, coming in at what the manufacturer considers to be an affordable price point, and offering all things Twitter 24/7, the new gadget is being hyped as an integral part of Twitter’s mobile platform.

Naysayers describe Tweet Peek as the latest application in ‘Tweet Creep.”

Undoubtedly, sales figures will determine the distinction.
