| - This is one of those really hip, hole-in-the-wall places that I'd love to recommend as a hidden gem. Unfortunately, I can't. I had some high hopes that this was some sort of undiscovered vegan sensation, but I felt let down.
This is almost an Indian fusion place, sort of diner / take out style. I was passing by and wanted to grab something to go - I'm fortunate that it was empty, but even so I ended up waiting for my food for a solid 8 minutes because it was prepared at a glacial pace.
I ended up going with the "millionaire burger", which consists of a smashed samosa, some coleslaw greens, and some onions in a bun. Unfortunately, the was literally just that - a sad looking bun, a samosa that was squished in, and some sad looking coleslaw greens.
For a production cost of probably $1.50, they charged me $9 - which would have been fine if I had my mind blown.
Instead, I got a vegetarian experience that many meat eaters expect - lackluster, with no texture and little flavor. This would be the kind of lunch that I would have put together whilst living in a basement during university and having next to nothing in my pantry with a samosa I'd bought off the street (All of those things have happened, truthfully).
I can't say that it was off-putting or gross or particularly offensive - it just lacked any sort of flavor or texture. I may as well have eaten the bun with some multivitamins.
Unfortunately I would have no interest in returning given that Stone Bowl is around the corner for some great Korean food.
