yes, well, Yelp.
it's a pretty good site if you're into looking for semi-obscure types of restaurants. like, vegan Caribbean food, for example.
it also helped me relocate the BEST Indian restaurant i've ever been to, which was, oddly enough, in the northern suburbs of Massachusetts. it was a cute, vegetarian, northern Indian-style buffet. only, apparently it is now closed down.
whelp, there goes any reason i had to go to MA (ok, Jon, you're still cool i'ma come up).
this thread lead me to some searching around today (online, anyhow). after becoming heartbroken over the loss of Masalaa, i decided to see if there were any decent Indian buffets in the Queens area.
i was lead to this place,
http://www.yelp.com/biz/annam-brahma-restaurant-jamaica, located in Jamaica.
it sounds up my alley and, quite frankly, little nuggets like this one here make it sound pretty fun:
"Once when I went I wanted 3 things. I just wanted those flavors, though I knew I couldn't eat an entree, an appetizer, and a bread. So, when I was finished, I let the server know. She asked me if I wanted the food wrapped, and I said no. I knew I had a long time left and work and I didn't want the food sitting in my office all afternoon. She looked very sad that I was wasting food. I said "I just know myself; I won't eat the leftovers if I take them home."
At that, she perked right up and smiled at me, in a very friendly way, saying "self-knowledge is the beginning of the path to enlightenment." And that made me feel good all day.
There you have it."
