Came here for Dollar Stroll, so take what I say with a grain of salt since I didn't have the full…read moresit-down experience. This is a small mom-and-pop run place, and I saw the kids outside trying to help bring customers in, especially with the Doro Bet line running right in front of their store. But honestly, don't underestimate this little place.
THE FOOD IS VERY WELL SEASONED.
For Dollar Stroll I got basically a little bit of everything they were offering, including the samosa, pakora, fried chicken, and chicken drumstick. Everything was very fairly priced for the crawl, and since I mostly use these events as a way to find places for future meal planning, I was happy to try a bunch of things.
The chicken drumstick was the surprise winner. I took it home and reheated it, and WOW. It was tandoori-style and SO flavorful. Super smoky, with that bright red color that makes you immediately wonder how much seasoning they managed to get into this thing lol. The flavor really went all the way into the meat instead of just sitting on the outside. Really, really good.
The fried chicken, though, I'd probably skip. My first piece looked like it was going to be a wing, and then I realized it was basically the spine/tailbone/butt area of the chicken. There was barely any meat on it. Basically fried bone. Usually that's the part of a rotisserie chicken I would just throw away, so getting that as my $1 piece was a little disappointing. If I hadn't gotten several other things, I probably would've been much more annoyed.
The veggie pakora was REALLY good. Crispy and savory on the outside, with a flavorful vegetable mixture inside. This is the kind of snack where you can keep eating it because the seasoning is doing all the work. Definitely one I'd get again.
The samosa was on the greasier side, but again, very flavorful. Crispy, flaky exterior with a nicely seasoned filling. Not the lightest samosa I've ever had, but definitely not lacking flavor.
The store itself is small and pretty unassuming, and you could easily walk right past it. But don't. From a flavor standpoint, this place is STRONG. I didn't get the full restaurant experience, so I can't speak to everything on the menu, but based on what I tried, I definitely want to come back and try an actual meal.
Small mom-and-pop spot, big seasoning. The tandoori chicken alone has me curious about what else they're making back there.
