Tuli Bistro

2031 S St, Sacramento, CA 95814, (916) 451-8854On a recent cold and wet Sacramento night, exhausted from dealing with the holiday crowds, a friend and I braved the elements and made our way to the Tuli Bistro.

When I mentioned this to her she said that when someone ridicules desis for these, she feels offended and hence the effort to make sure to avoid behaviour that left a negative impression about Indians...

On one of the Television shows on the lives of celebrities, Cricketer Yuvraj Singh was the guest.
