| - First time trying Indian street food!! I had pondered the menu for a while, very confused by what all the words meant. Ultimately, with the help of my Indian friends and trusted Google, I settled on ordering channa chawal, and paid an additional $2 for chai. Meanwhile, my friend ordered pav bhaji, with a side of samosa chaat and chai.
The entire restaurant is very well designed! The order and pickup counter resembles the front of a food truck, and the restaurant interior screams food truck.
When we picked up our orders, I was astonished by the difference in size between my friend's and my orders. Mine was quite large and hearty, but, as can be seen from the photos, my friend's was tiny!
The channa chawal was quite delicious, and not too heavy. The curry was rich, and there was so much rice that I couldn't finish it (packed almost half of it to go - that being said, I am a small eater). Unfortunately, the fried bits got soggy while I was waiting for my friend to get her food, so they didn't taste that good.
My friend's pav was really good, albeit thick. I loved that it was quite tangy and tomato-ey. Her two bread rolls came generously buttered - to the point that it masked the flavour of the pav when I tried it, giving me the excuse to try more. ;)
The chai was tiny, but if you're sitting in the restaurant, they offer free refills (I got two refills!). I asked what was in it, and one of the workers hilariously became all secretive and refused to disclose any details, haha!
The service was also impeccable. While sitting, we were asked if we required anything more. Upon leaving, we were also asked if we enjoyed our experience and told to return if possible! Overall, a very comfortable and relaxing setting, although the music can get quite loud and limit conversation.
