Naga’s Fast Food

One of my friends (another Elite member) has always raved to me about how I had to eat «stripper dosas». Today I finally had the chance.
The place almost looks like a side entrance to the adjacent Penthouse strip club. Adding to my suspicions was the fact that random people kept coming and going while we were waiting for our food.
The place is tiny and beaten up. I’m not sure how they operate in there. There are no seats here, and barely enough room to stand inside to have your order taken. May I suggest eating in the nearby park, 1 – 2 blocks south.
I had a chance to try the Masala dosa ($ 7). It came with chili sauce and a bowl of chutney. It was done just right. The chili sauce had just the right amount of kick, and so did the chutney.
One thing to mention is that the service here is SLOW. Unless you’re ordering the pre-​made stuff like fried chicken or samosas, the chef makes everything from scratch. It took over 20 minutes for us to get our orders. But the food is fresh. Even after I got to the park, my food was still way too hot to hold in my hand.
The price is a bit high, as the other items (such as chicken dosas) were $ 9 – 10. But admittedly it’s not out of line with similar places.
Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed~

When there’s a restaurant attached to a strip-​club, you have to try it. I noticed the little dosas placard next to the Penthouse a couple of months ago and made a mental note to try it sometime. Tonight, when I failed to realise that I wanted dinner until 9pm, Naga’s was the place to go (seriously, I had pizza for lunch and everything else fit for 1 person take out was closed).
I walked in to find a dingy space with two men sitting in the back. I ordered the Paneer Dosa and it came out to $ 10.50 after tax. This place is take out only, there’s no seating unless you want to join the employees in the back while you wait. Which I was invited to do after awhile. I neglected to accept the offer as I was taking the «fast food» part of their name seriously. My mistake. My dosa took forever to make even though the filling came straight out of the refrigerator and into a pan to heat.
End result? A massive two meal dosa that tasted better for lunch the next day, full of more potato than paneer (I couldn’t even taste the paneer), and not nearly spicy enough. It came with a very processed seeming carrot chutney and a scummy overly salted soup.
I grabbed a take out menu, which purports to have all sorts of things — samosas, pakora, chicken wings, ceaser salad, curries, pizza. .. considering that the clapboard signs, the wall menu, and the takeout menu all have different items and prices, I’m not entirely convinced that they would actually be able to produce many of those items if asked. I saw no evidence of any vats of curry bubbling away, and I find it hard to believe that all of the dishes on their menu could be stored in the household kitchen sized refrigerator.
