Downtown employees have it so nice sometimes. Places like this have a very specific group of customers, as is evidenced by their limited hours. So I consider myself very lucky to have found this place during one of the few times I'm in the area during a weekday lunch time. It doesn't help that you really wouldn't suspect much about this place unless you got closer, since "coffee house" doesn't really say much about the unique food here! The place has no seating and is meant purely for takeout, but it is quite nice and efficient, while the owner is very friendly.
The food is fantastic. Portions are a decent size, and a large for $9 is very worthwhile if you are hungry. In particular I had the Thursday special of spaghetti and ribs. I've never had curry with either of these items, but I was definitely a fan. The curry had a good flavor and kick, but it was still mild in a good way. It also helped that the spaghetti was made well on its own and the ribs were basically tender chunks of meat falling off the bone. I'm sure any of her other daily specials would be just as good.
To go with this, we also ordered the Kenyan chai tea, which was quite ginger-y and less strong than a typical chai. Very good!
