| - Feeling a little nostalgic, I decided to go for a Halwa-Puri breakfast served here on Saturday+Sunday mornings from 11am to 3pm. I'm glad to report these guys did a fine job of taking me back!
For those unacquainted with this breakfast treat, a puri is a deep fried thin flat bread which is pretty difficult to get right. Halwa, as it's used here, refers to a sweet, gooey semolina confection.
For $11.99, you get the breakfast combo consisting of two (large!) puris, a side of halwa, plus sides of curried potatoes and chickpeas. The puris are made fresh to order and are easily the best part of this meal. The rest of the sides were made well too, but I was a little disappointed at the lukewarm temperature they were served at from the buffet behind a glass display. All 3000 calories are served in a large, compartmentalized stainless steel tray with plasticware to assist the use of hands (no getting away with not using hands...). Seriously though, getting your hands dirty is part of the experience.
Bon Apetit!
