Bengal Cafe

Problem: Most Indian Restaurants have oily, way- too- spicy food that you'd never find in India.

Solution: 2263 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge .

In this authentic Bangladeshi restaurant, a wide variety of foods are available; from the classic chicken curry to the lesser known Lao Chingri, this place has it all. The best part? Its all food that you can find in Bangladesh. Homemade, and delicious, it's the perfect place to go for a snack, lunch, or dinner.

After you order, you can smell your food cooking from where you sit. The ceiling is made of sari's, in a beautiful pattern as unique as the food it watches. If you go, try the sweet or mango lassi. The salt lassi is a bit less dessert-like, but still delectable to most. The only downside is that it's relatively new, so all the dishes aren't mastered, but, "It's worth it to eat food just like Mom would make if Mom were from Bangladesh," (First, 1/5/06).

A personal recommendation: try the Shami Kebobs. They melt in your mouth, and have just the right amount of spice.

Overall, 9 1/2 out of 10 stars.

Rosie's Bakery: Triple Layer Fudge Cake

I finally figured out what to fill all this empty blog space with: Reviews!!!! Thank you, Eliza.

I'll start with something delicious: a Triple Layer Fudge Cake.

One layer vanilla, one layer chocolate, one layer fudge, topped with vanilla frosting and fudge on the sides. Garnished with sprinkles. ( Picture is of cake without the sprinkles and lettering). This cake was a decadent mixture of vanilla and chocolate. Loved by adults and children alike, it was rumored to be 50 dollars. However, it was from Cambridge...

The Bakery that created this moist delight was Rosie's Bakery, a chain also located in Porter's square, South Station, Chestnut Hill, and Wellesley. Even though it was small and round, its height made up for its lack of size. Perfect for a small party. The only downside was that at times, the chocolate was a little much, and unless you have a large sweet tooth, one thin slice would be the height of dessert for that day.

9 out of 10 stars.
