| - Kohli's is an Indian import and convenient shop. They sell a wide variety of things in a quite small space. Being a convenient shop, they have an impressive amount of drinks and candies. The import part includes a wide variety of items, including but not limited to: housewares, cookwares, representations of deities, spices, frozen foods, etc. They also have a limited amount of fresh groceries. I always encounter the same 3 people working there and they are all very friendly.
The impressive part (for me at least) is the take-away tali-type meals. They sell scrumptious samosas for $.90 and meals for less than $5, along with a few other hot items that seem to rotate in and out. The hot food comes from the Indian restaurant, Namaste, and each lunch portion includes two entrees, rice, and half a naan. There will be one with 2 veg options and one with 1 veg option and a chicken dish. The thing I really love about the food is that it has some spice to it, almost to medium (which is better than no spice--as some places do with any food prepared for the general public). Please note that the lunch portion size is not terribly big, so if you eat a lot, you might want to get that samosa to round things out. Also, the lunches sometimes run out fast, especially during the school year, so get there earlier than later if you are counting on it (the earliest I've seen them sell out is by 1230, but usually it is after 1).
This isn't the most charismatic Indian meal you'll ever get, but I can tell you after working in this neighborhood for nearly 2 years, it is a tasty and cheap option for lunch.
