East is East

I cannot believe it took me 10.5 months to feature one of my favourite hangouts for Saturday lunch - East is East.

East is East is more than a restaurant; it is more than Indian food; what exactly it is, I cannot pinpoint it. For me, it is the pleasure of relaxing there with a book and munching on light meals. 

Not to miss is Kashmiri Sunset - a mango lassi flavoured generously with cardamon and rose water.

Another favourite is Eastern Ecstacy - rice pudding, ice cream and a warm gulab jamun (deep fried syrupy rolls) - all stacked on top of each other and sprinkled with rose water, pistachios and cardamon.

East is East has two locations: 4413 Main Street and 3239 West Broadway. 

Despite identical menus and ambiance, the Main Street location is by far my preferred one: better service, quieter seating area, more varied clientele and more generous with their rose water and cardamon.
