I'm a usual Sukhadia customer and while I eat it, I have to admit their take-out selection is typically old-tasting and dry. This place was a wonderful surprise...the $7 vege-plate is huge, fresh and definitely less oily than a lot of lower-priced Indian stuff I've had. Didn't seem too busy to sit down and eat there either. Loved the roti, had a delightful mini-eggplant dish (stuffed with nuts and spices), the pickle was small but so tasty. I could have used a little more spice but I'll be back again. The chaats looked also to be huge and a steal at $5!

I opted for the veggie plate for 7 dollars. I have no idea what I was eating but i know it was really very good. Additionally I am stuffed and even though i had a decent ampunt left over to bring back to the office. Turns out they now have more traditional meat dishes such as tikki masala.

Something so great about simple indian veggies that is delicious and is exactly the way i ate in India, Pakistan & Nepal. $6.99 for rice, 2 veg, a stack of roti-like bread, salad, soup, chutney/pickle, & an odd little sweet All-in-all a tasty, spicy affordable lunch I had to repost because i went back and made sure to have the veggies from the front – great meal!

I thought it was all one indian food establishment but each steam table is semi-autonomous. I saw the veggie items that looked fantastic but accidentally asked the guy in front of the meat curries if i could have a special/one of each type meal. He said yes so i picked the chicken curry and then was informed the only option i had was the dhal (veggie?). I paid $7 for a small plate of rice, watery + bland + stringy chicken and soup tasteless dhal. Basically, i ate four bites of it in the park - threw it away and got a salad - it was that bad. Stick to the veggies in front! Unfortunately they are also serving indian meat items which is the worst mistake i could make.

Just ate here for the first time today, and it's seriously good stuff. I'm a desi - Punjabi, not Gujurati, but I've had Gujurati cuisine enough times to know great food when I taste it. The food at this place well-spiced and seems really healthy (no layer of oil on top). It's more like (well executed) home cooking than heavy restaurant food, which is exactly what I'm looking for. And the Gujurati thali is a ton of food! This is my new favorite place for lunch. The decor isn't the best. But it's good enough (i.e., they provide tables and chairs). There's more seating than I expected - six or seven tables - so I'm guessing there'll usually be no problem finding a seat (especially if you avoid the main lunch rush). I used to eat at Sukhadia's or Minar at least twice a week. This place is better and more food at a better price than either. I imagine I'll be eating here almost everyday! Wow . . .
