“Let's get real: the 'restaurant' appellation is a stretch. This is a stall in a food hall. Not a problem unless perhaps you're trying to impress a date or something, just something of which to be aware. Back in February, I got the Lamb Jalfrezi. It was memorable enough to get me to make a special trip back today. This time I got the Fish Jalfrezi. Warming spice, mellow tartness, and a balancing dose of sweetness are the watchwords for the luscious sauce enrobing healthy chunks of green bell pepper, onion, and the lightly-breaded fried mild white fish (tilapia?). Fries are thick, hot, and tasty, fluffy inside with a slightly craggy crisp exterior and seasoned throughout -- ace! I asked for HOT and was neither disappointed nor overwhelmed. Portion size is generous. Peripheral benefits accrue from the Lents MAX stop just a block away, the colocation with Zoiglhaus Brewing, and the pinball available under the same roof.”
