Janani

Where to go for cheap and tasty Indian and Sri Lankan food? Janani of course. They claim to be open "continuously 7 days a week" and seem to be a good substitute if you can't find that kebab shop at 4 in the morning (or in Patrick's case, if you want Dosai for breakfast). The thing that sets this place apart from your run of the mill Indian restaurant is that they serve more than just curries and naan (although they have those too).

We started off this meal with guava and woodapple nectar. The guava nectar was refreshing but the woodapple nectar was a bit too sickly sweet.

We also ordered a Marsala Dosai, a large crepe-like roll filled with curried potato and served with sambar and chutney...

A Puri Pack, three large pieces of greasy puri bread accompanied with sambar, curried chickpeas and potatoes...

Vegge String Hoppers, vermicelli-like noodles with chickpeas and veggies and lots of chili...

And the Butter Chicken Package which consisted of a selection of five curries in addition to butter chicken, rasam, rice and a pappadam.

And dessert? They do have quite a few on offer but we were way too full... maybe next time.
