You like spicy, eh? Crunch your way through two or three of the small green peppers from a bowl next to the microwaves and you will be flying very, very high, my friend.

Vegan only. $3 small rice bowl with curry sauce is a safe bet, quick and cheap lunch. couple seats in the back. otherwise, sit on the stoop directly west.

This is the real deal for a great deal. Get the small bowl w 2 veggies or a samosa to go. Perfect healthy pick-me-up.

The signature samosa chat is amazing. Make sure to grab a thumps up (Indian coke) to help wash down the awesomenes!

Gem for vegetarian indian food. Known as the taxi stand.

Contrary to everyone, I say avoid the samosa. it's always tempting but, heated in the microwave it's always disappointing. Otherwise great!
