Naan 'n Curry

Something I love about the Bay Area is the abundance of good, cheap eats. I do love a tasting menu, but sometimes (or often) you just get a calling for cheap, hearty Indian food. One of my favorite joints is Naan 'n Curry. Just as there is a rivalry between Marina Subs and Subs, there is one between Shalimar and N'nC. I guess I shall enter the fray by choosing the latter.

Chicken Tikka Masala

Boneless chicken cubes in a rich, creamy yogurt sauce. I admit this picture looks like meat in uni-shade goop, but it is so good. The best thing about the chicken is that it is doused in the sauce, or as I like to call it, ambrosia. For five bucks, this is dirt cheap.

Poofy ass naan

Nothing goes better with the sauce than a piece of naan. Crunchy, toasty, and poofy, this is simply delicious. I like to just dip it, or make a "naanwich" like those of Indian Bread Co in nyc.

Naan n Curry isn't fancy nor tries to be, but it's a good place for straight up good food. Hell, even Pooja, epitome of everything Indian, eats there.
