| - Totally solid, no-frills Indian food. The lunch specials are affordable and come with rice/naan (THE LARGEST PIECE OF NAAN YOU'VE EVER SEEN), salad, and a veggie pakora - for under $10. Yes, please!
I've only been to the 1st Street location once, but from what I've tasted, the food is basically the same here. Creamy chicken tikka masala (my fave, I'm a gringo, I know) with crispy, buttery naan, mmm. I tried my boyfriend's Lamb Saag dish and loved it also.
Why is the lunch so affordable? Because it's a really small place (the tables are tightly-packed in), there's no waiter service, and your meal is served on Styrofoam. This is Indian food for poor college students. If you want a more relaxed, "restaurant-y" atmosphere (and don't mind paying a few extra dollars), head over to the Bombay Grill on 1st. But if, like me, you are in grad school and up to your ass in student loan debt, this is the place for you.
