Naan Stop may be my favorite lunch spot in Isla Vista. The food is not the usual ginormo burritos for drunk people, it’s tasty, they serve it up quickly from a buffet style counter, and the price is right. A two-item combo costs about $8, and includes rice, salad and naan. Here’s McMarko’s combination with [...]
Drummond Street has been known for vegetarian Indian food and desserts for as long as I can remember. If I found myself with an Underground Travelcard, it was nice to make the trek up here for a cheap meal, ideally a thali of several curries, rice, naan and dessert. Or a dosa. It was an [...]
McMarko is not allowed to eat Indian food around his wife. There is something about the spice mixtures she finds unappetizing. So I am de facto Indian food lunch buddy.
