For all those who will miss Sambar, keep the yearning and the craving intact. We will be back on July 10th! For those who are more used to the concept of countdowns, thats 16 days away!

Following the resounding welcome it received last week, Chaat room continues this week. Come by to savour the mouth-watering delicacies. Chaat is a traditional roadside cuisine that had its origins in the fast-paced streets of Mumbai.

Our menu for June 19th, 2007:

Pani Puri- $3.00

Shells of wheat flour filled with a spicy mix of potatoes and tamarind water.

Plain Dosas - $3.00

Upma - $3.00

Vegetable Biriyani - $4.00

Paal payasam - $2.00

To allow everyone to enjoy in various other ways (rather than just Sambar), we will have Sambar every other week in Summer. Consequently, there will be NO Sambar this Tuesday :( Sorry for inconvenience, but hope to see everyone on 19th. Enjoy summer!
