( menu had vegetraian and non-vegetarian selections)<\/p>\n<p>Right, the place was empty when we arrived&#8230; there were a no. of pple walking into the stall for take-aways and to buy cigaretts. The interior was very clean! Indian music was playing in the background with nice indian deco .. the aroma of spices and curry&#8230; \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I ordered<strong> Masala Dosai <\/strong>&#8211; this came with chutney. Dosai was made on the spot.. it was hot and crispy. The  potatoes were well marinated with spices.. and it tasted like those we had back home!!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/DSCF6454-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF6454\" title=\"DSCF6454\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-860\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/DSCF6454-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/DSCF6454-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/DSCF6454-624x468.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>BH ordered <strong>Chicken Briyani<\/strong>.
