Curry • Vegan • Indian • Breakfast
"I feel like I am in Mumbai picking up food to take to my relatives in Malabar Hills who are out of town and I have to fend for myself BUT I am in Chelsea and since I dont cook this take out/ cabbie stand up eatery is THE choice for simple great food at a great price. 2 sizes lunch or dinner or 6 or 10 dollars. I used to get the dinners but it was a lot of food BUT I ATE IT. NOW I order lunch size because it is perfect for the freezer so I can stock up a few meals for late night eating. Of course...VEGETERIAN....I Love chickpeas...carrots..potatoes...caulflower..dishes over rice. But the real find is the CHAI but becareful they serve it HOT. I TRIED to drink one on the way home one very cold night...but too hot. Now they place in two cups sealed with foil. I warm it up and add extra spices because I like it extra spicey and add splenda and use it as an end of meal special treat. The cabbies are usually collegial and I ask for advice on the nights there are curries. WHAT MAKES THIS SMALL CUBBY HOLE EATERY A FIND: great food...great prices... Everytime I leave I think of my relatives in Mumbai and I leave with a big smile and my soul filled with nostalgia."
