text: Last weeks creative loafing had an article about Bollywood Bites that inspired me to give it a shot.My co-worker is married to an Indian man and is quite familiar with the cuisine ( I am not) - so she offered to take a group of us in and help us decide what to get.\n\nBe warned: This place is difficult to find -CL didn't refer to it as a hidden gem for nothing. If you look on their website they give great directions with a map, making it much easier.\n\nAlso be warned that if your meal is under $10 it is cash only. We came with a group of 7 and waited for about a half hour for our meals...it is take-out only, so this may not be ideal for a workday lunch unless you work in the vicinity. They also do not have everything listed on their menu on a given day- so unless you are extremely familiar with Indian fare - I recommend going in and talking to the lady rather than calling the order in. She was friendly and helpful. \n\nDespite the above warnings, the food itself is really beyond delicious and earns the four stars solidly. My co-worker said it reminded her of meals cooked in her in-laws kitchen.\n\nI ordered the paneer tikka masala (Which was killer) make sure you get the roti that goes with it. I also had the Pani Puri (which isnt on their menu online). If you have never tried Pani Puri - get it now! So delicious..make sure you ask how to eat it though or you'll be lost. I had quite a bit of food for $9- the menu is super affordable. \n\nKeep in mind everything is vegan and/or vegetarian. \n\nThis gem was certainly worth the effort of finding!
