    Lunch 2. Tuesday Combo Special
    Sarah K.

    This place is a hidden gem and I will fight anyone who says otherwise! I have never tried Indian or Pakistani Food prior to this and was super nervous that it would be too spicy for my typical taste buds. However my co worker convinced me to try this and I got the Tikka Masala and Chicken Masala, which comes with really well flavored jasmine rice. I'm now obessed with this. It has a touch of heat for me, but the flavors are so rich and unlike anything else I've made, that I find myself scooping up every last bite of sauce and rice. I'm sad that they don't deliver and they aren't open for lunch in addition to be located in a strange basement area, which is why I took it down a little in stars. However, it is amazing and I will go here for lunch on any work day possible.

    You know how they (whoever "they" are) say that hole-in-the-wall restaurants are usually the best? Well, Shah Jee's is a hole-in-the-GROUND restaurant. Yes, it's literally the basement level of a parking garage/office building. There is no signage, there is no warning. You literally have to know someone in order to find your way to this establishment. And hey, you know me! Very simple. Belly up to the bar, tell the guy that you have no idea what you're doing and you want today's special. Pay (CASH ONLY). Eat. And while you're eating, wonder how you never knew about this little diamond in the rough. Today was a chicken dish and something with chick peas (lentils were also available) and a huge pile of rice. Don't ask what it is. You don't need to know. Just eat the stuff and be very very happy. Some tips and suggestions: It is spicy. A little hot (maybe 6-7 on a scale of 1 to 10) and very flavorful. Expect it. It can be messy. Big pieces of meat in sauces are never a good thing for clumsy klutzes like me, so be prepared and wear something that will hide stains. It is ONLY open for lunch and they do sell out. So arrive early and be hungry. It is cash only. At the moment, $8 gets you lunch and a can/bottle. I would recommend getting it "to go" even if you're having it to stay. Larger portion!

    Based on my last review, some new menu items may be in order, but everything I have here is always solid! Today's chicken masala and saag paneer was just as good as the last time I had them.

But it's pretty minimal inside and it's a place that you would get stuff to go. The guy at the counter was very nice and extremely helpful. I made a couple modifications and he was so kind about it even though I know I was being kind of annoying and apologized for it. He was so nice and did not make me feel bad. The service is great. I did notice that he both works the counter and cooks the food in the back, so he's clearly very hard-working. The fries were great crispy on the outside but fluffy on the inside. The chicken sandwich was made well, but the chicken was a little bit dry, which is why I gave four stars instead of five. I added some extra sauce I had at home and it was perfect. I would maybe recommend asking for extra sauce if you plan on eating it there. Overall good food and great service. Will definitely be back if we need something quick to go.

    Where has this dosa been all my life? Having read a recent article about this restaurant, BF and I…read morewanted to come try it. I was concerned about the availability of vegetarian options, but there are a few options and they are accommodating. The space is fairly basic, but it has what you need. There are several tables available. They have a TV playing Bollywood-style videos. Parking is on the street. I saw a counter where it said you should order and pick up, but we had our order taken at the table and our food was brought to us. Everyone who worked there was very nice, but they did not speak a great deal of English. I ordered a cheese and butter non-traditional dosa, but I received a veggie dosa. I was not mad about it at all. The dosa was amazing - crispy and light and perfect and stuffed with veggies that were somehow still crunchy, but infused with great flavor, as if they'd been cooked for hours. The dosas come with a dal type of sauce, something quite hot and another cold sauce we couldn't identify, but it was good. BF had a masala dosa and it was divine as well. Great potato filling, amazing flavor and the same sauces and superb dosa texture and flavor. Not understanding the generous size of the dosa, I'd ordered a veggie fried rice as well. I just barely tried it since I was stuffed, but it was excellent as well. Fresh flavor, which was complex, despite the veggies remaining al dente, with a short grain rice that I haven't identified. The dish does have eggs, which the cook/server/owner cleared with me when I ordered. I look forward to having this food again and again, but I'll be hard pressed to order anything other than the dosa. It's all about the food.

It smells great and is clean. Watching the roti process is mesmerizing. We likely over ordered out of anticipation from how long we've had to wait to find another Malaysian restaurant. The roti stuffed with onion and spices and chicken with the curry sauce was delicious! Amazing flavors, not too spicy, so tasty! The spicy squid dish was warm and the flavor went all across the palate. Asked my date and heard "The noodles are so good!!" Please give this place a try.
