Why We Go: A civilized lunch for $1 to $3 a plate in a swankily decorated Mount Vernon spot.
What We Eat: During aforesaid cheap-and-civilized midday meal, we eat everything in sight. But the lamb shank masala and chicken tikka mazadar are both worth ordering a dinner plate's worth--along with a basket of warm and chewy flatbread and cardamom chai.
What We'd Change: The service is often slow and inaccurate, though very nice.
