The photo note

Curry w/ naan bread always hits the spot! Definitely one of the better Indian joints in town! #grub #foodforfoodies #foodography #goodeats #foodspotting #sandiegofoodie #sdfoodie #sdig #igsd #sandiego #punjabitandoor #curry #indian #livetoeat #foodnation

Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

Two frames of the same generous tray: blistered naan, a golden curry, a red tandoori-style dish, white rice and small cups of raita.

Definitely one of the better Indian joints in town is a real ranking, not a throwaway line. The food comes plainly on a red tray; the ranking is all about what is on it.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • Charred, blistered naan
  • Curry over rice with raita
  • No-frills service, serious food

Bottom line

Archive verdict

Rated by Roger in 2013 as one of San Diego’s better Indian spots — straightforward curry and naan done right.
