Popular Inman Square eatery offers budget-minded area residents the opportunity to fill up on fresh, inexpensive Indian fare.

In Short
Classic Punjabi dishes--plus a handful of other classics from al over the continent--come quickly and cheap in this, one of the Boston area's few fast-food Indian spots. Popular items include tender lamb vindaloo over basmati, chicken tikka with tangy-sweet mango chutney and crisp samosas. Drinks like buttermilk-laced pineapple lassi are available to put the fire out. Due in part to the nondescript seating areas, most patrons take their curries to go.
