A type of Indian food that's not that popular in Vancouver. too bad, really.

best price ever: Monday all day, $5.99 for any dosa!

gluten-intolerant folks: the dosa is made from lentil and rice flours, hurrah!

I've tried the aloo gobi, lamb palak, and…More »

Four-star pho...for the area. Kingsway and East Hastings have my absolute fave places. But for downtown, it doesn't get better.

I ususally get 27e: 2 lemongrass chicken skewers (with skewers removed!) and rice paper spring roll on a bed of vermecelli,…More »

the salad and rice pot makes my body and mouth sing. very fresh and crunchy salad veggies and perfectly cooked brown rice.

I get it with the chicken add-on. costs about $8.  I ask them for half pesto, half sundried tomato hummus to use as dressing.…More »

finding a freshly made-as-you-order corn tortilla is about as difficult as finding a place that makes fresh jiao-zi from scratch. when i saw the reviews for this place i had to check it out, corn allergy be damned.

it's easy to miss as it's awkwardly…More »

get the vega bread. now. just do it. it's delicious. As a nut/corn/wheat allergic person this rocks my universe.
(preslice it and chuck it in the freezer, since as a natural product it goes off quite quickly)
their granola is scrumptious and sweet.

if you're on a budget, bang for the buck is where it's at. Doing post-secondary for 13 years = much starving student experience. It not all pizza and gyros. Here's my partial list of places to go for under $10.
