| - Whoa I've been craving Indian food and falafel like no other. This place completely cured that (well...except now I'm kind of addicted and want to go back).
The place is on Green Street, but it's situated inside a corrider-Old-Orchard-like hideaway, so going inside made me forget that I was on campus for the yummy 30 minutes I was inside.
I went today for a late lunch (about 2 PM) and the place was empty. The menu is taped to the counter top, right in front of the register, so you have the luxury to peruse the menu at your leisure while the cashier rushes around, helping the cooks and basically doing everything she can before helping the hungry people waiting in line. That was great for me, because I was having a hard time choosing what I should get.
The interior is sparse. There are about 6 tables, with bench like chairs, and the walls have a weird bamboo motif that I'm not sure I was getting. Indian music blares from the stereo and a muted soccer game was playing on the big screen TV. The bathrooms were passably clean.
My sister got the vegetarian sloppy joe (a HUGE serving that came with three hamburger buns), my mom got the falafel platter (teeny weeny, but 6 yummy falafels nestled on top of paprika-speckled hummus between 6 slices of pita), and I got the paneer Zyggy roll (SO SPICY at level 3). We also split a mango lassai to share, which was so creamy and thick I think I went to mango heaven (I do wish it was colder, but that was probably because I was alternating between ice water and mango lassai and the spicy roll).
Like the previous reviewer, Zyggyz took a while to get the food out, but everything turned out amazing so I'm not complaining. When you order, the cashier asks how spicy you want your food, from a level of 1 to 10. Now. I'm a Korean, so I know spicy food, but I asked for 3 and OH MAN! My mouth is STILL on FIRE. My roll came out wrapped in foil, and it was basically a cheese cube and vegetable burrito slathered in spicy Indian sauce. I could live on that alone. My mom's falafel platter was good, but it was incredibly small. My sister absolutely loved her sloppy joes and asked for more bread. She was just munching away. The cilantro sprinkled on top was a great touch. To me, the first bite of the sloppy joe was AMAZING, but then it kind of got...not so tasty after a while. But that could all be because my tongue tastebuds were numbed.
I am definitely going back to try the aloo Zyggy roll, but after studying the menu online and trying out tips from other Yelpers. DID I MENTION IT'S DIRT CHEAP? My wallet was very pleased.
