| - Mmmm good Indian street food.
Upon recommendations from friends, we ventured to the new Indian street food restaurant at about 9pm one night. Thank goodness for places that stay open later at night!
The restaurant is nestled off of Euclid, right on the corner. We easily found parking at the meters on the street perpendicular (this also was the case later in the week, when I came for the lunch buffet).
The restaurant has an interesting menu- Indian street food, regular dishes and then Indo-Chinese dishes. We chose the chole bhatura- puffy bread with a chickpea curry- so delicious!! That puffy bread was so good. We also got the paper dosa which was gigantic, but also good with the sauces it came with. Mmmmmm...
Later on in the week (upon recommendation to my coworkers), I was sent to pick up some dishes to bring back for lunch. However, I found out that between 11am-3pm they only serve the lunch buffet and ONLY the lunch buffet. Bahhhhhh. I mean the buffet is ok, but I really didn't think it was that great and that the meal dishes were much better. The buffet had an assortment of different dishes- paleek paneer, spicy gourd, butter chicken, etcera.. But I really honestly prefer the meal dishes. Don't bother with the buffet... Plus it was kind of pricey (for takeout it's $6.99 a pound... Probably the last time my coworkers send me out to pick up the food!)
Luckily, after much asking (and me, being Asian and not giving up), they did make some chaat food for me-some Bombay bhel, samosas, and tikki. It was sooo good.
I'm a huge fan of this place- just skip the lunch buffet, come after 3pm and order the meal dishes. Good spice level and quality food- can't go wrong! Next time, I really want to try those Hakka noodles...!
