I worked up an appetite after a meeting in UCity, so I Yelped around and found a few reviews about an Indian restaurant at the back of the Rice and Spice Grocery store. I walked straight to the back and was given a pen and pad to write down my order.

I really like chaat. I like the uniqueness of it, I like trying different versions, I really like the tangy yogurt sauce and the mix of crispy surprises. So when I found myself in UCity, where I was a 15 minute walk away from Desi Chaat House, I dragged myself over there despite the fact that I was exhausted and my feet really hurt. I was relieved to finally reach the orange shack. Then I had some big decisions to make. Which of the 20 or so chaats would I choose?
Living Social is doing 1/2 Indian Fare at Lovash Restaurant. I have yet to go, so I made the purchase. I think the lamb sandwich is calling my name.
A while back, Meal Ticket posted about the opening of a new Indian restaurant on South Street, called Indian Restaurant, and I was really hoping the name was just temporary. But at the Grand Opening in March we found out it wasn’t. What’s in a name anyway? And so I visited to try some of their lunch specials.
A new Indian food delivery service popped up on Twitter today. Place your order in the morning, and get it delivered in time for lunch. Right now they are serving UCity, with Center City service to follow. Rice, a samosa, and 2 sides come with your order of 2 entrees from a selection that changes each day, for example tomorrow you could get Chicken Tikka Masala and Veggie Korma with mango chutney and raita for $9.
While walking in University City I passed by the International Foods and Spices Grocery Store and hoped I could stock up on some fun grocery items. The store mainly specializes in Indian and Pakistani food products (canned, frozen, dried, etc). I ended up leaving with 4 bags of groceries and lunch.

In March I enjoyed the chaat at the Desi Chaat house in the Bellevue food court. Commenter Spikyone reminded me that Minar Palace had chaat on their menu, which I had totally forgotten about. (Chaat = combo of chickpeas, yogurt and tamarind sauce mixed with crunchy dough) I visited Minar last a year ago and was very impressed by their lamb rogan josh so when I had a craving for yogurt and tamarind, I made the return trip.
