Pretty good Indian spot, right by public square.
While being stuck on jury duty, I was looking around a new restaurant to try on my long lunch break. Enter Desi101.
It's located across the street from Jack casino on Ontario. It's a good price for what you get- for $6.99, you get a bowl (entree + side), $8.99 a super bowl (two entrees + side), and $10.99 for the largest one (I forget the name of it, but it's three entrees + side).
The sides range from samosas to naan or briyanis- I chose a vegetable briyani.
They have lots of different entrees- I chose the tandoori chicken. I was surprised on how much they really loaded onto my bowl size- I'm glad I didn't get a larger size because there would be no way to finish it!
It also comes with the yogurt sauce or whatever that's called too..
Overall, I thought the food was good. I underestimated the spice level of the tandoori chicken (oops) and my nose wouldn't stop running due to my weak spice tolerance.. haha.. but I thought the food was cooked well- and it felt like a homey hole in the wall type of restaurant.
If I'm ever back downtown and need an Indian spot to stop by, I would definitely stop here again!
