| - I use to go out for lunch all the time but lately I haven't gone out for lunch because I'm trying to be more 'healthy' and I bring my own lunches to work. I work in the NE so lunch options are normally limited to fast food joints as one hour lunch just doesn't seem long enough. Even though I don't eat out that often, I still search Yelp! because I enjoy reading review and trying new places.
Indian food. That is what I have been craving for a long time. I could be flakey when people ask me to go out for lunch because I'd rather go to the gym but this time I chose a restaurant and set a date so I know I wouldn't flake out.
Spice hut is located in a strip mall area, semi hidden, right across from the KFC in the Hunterhorn shopping area NE. It was around 11:45am on a Wednesday afternoon when we arrived. Before entering, I pause and said "wow this place does look pretty ghetto...it must be amazing then!" because most hole in the walls are...at least for me! Surprisingly, it wasn't busy at all! There were only two other people dining at this hour. Spice hut is a pretty small restaurant with only 7 tables - 2x4 tops, 2x6 tops and 3x2 tops and a visible kitchen area. From reading the review, we immediately knew what we wanted but still glanced at the menu. The menu doesn't have the lunch special in it but there is a poster on the window outside as well as a small poster inside that promotes the $7.95 lunch special. The lunch special includes: butter chicken, curried veggies, miz vegi pakoras, vegetable samosa, rice and a piece of naan bread. It also came with two sauces: a medium hot sauce and a sweet yogurt sauce. For drinks, we ordered waters to which we received a jug of water and plastic cups (a little ghetto ;)). I had to order a mango lassi which is a traditional indian beverage which is normally made from yogurt, water and mango pulp. It's a perfect pairing for spicy indian food - it helps cool your tongue and it's pretty tasty.
Our food came out pretty fast and I got super giddy as per usual. Of course I had to snap 100 pics before I dug in. I went for a mixture of the butter chicken sauce and rice ...bliiiiissss! It was exactly what I wanted. It was tasty, the butter chicken wasn't anything AMAZING but it was good. The butter chicken was a mild spice which was nice for me (I don't like toooo spicy). While I was eating, I could see them preparing some naan so I asked the guys if they wanted to share an order of garlic naan..but before they could answer, I had already gone up to the front and ordered it :) hehe. It didn't take long for them to prepare garlic naan which came in four pieces. The pakora is a deep fried vegetable snack, there are two pieces and they have a nice chewy crunch and a slight onion flavor, yummy. The vegetarian samosa was crunchy with a mash potato texture inside. Overall everything was really tasty, Steven and Parker literally wiped their plates clean. You definitely get a bang for your buck with this lunch special.
Okay, so now you know my secret.....$7.95 for *see photo* all of that delicious food? It's FANTASTIC! You definitely get your money's worth here. Go...now!!
