Real Taste of India

Location: 5th & Stark - Oak
Type: Indian
Cost: $6.00
Food: Daily meat special
Wait: Longish, but I had good company
Size: Way too much food

The naan was fun and nice (and huge), but I didn't enjoy the rest as much. I don't like the individual grain, no chew rice texture. It reminds me of microwave instant rice, even if it is traditional for biriyani. The chicken and chickpea (chana masala) curry dishes were good, especially the chicken texture and moisture, but sloppy and overwhelming in flavor. (Raj's view on curry houses was playing in my head.) The pakoras was very salty. Oh well, it was enough food to fuel lunch on Saturday and I don't have to go again. I did however enjoy sharing a knowing smile with the woman tending the counter and we waited and watched people order.

Summary:
Would go again if someone else wanted to? no
Would take Dave there for a repeat visit? no
