I was very excited when I heard The Lakeview reopened for business.

Delicious saag paneer roti served here! Creamy, spicy, spinachy goodness with bits of potato and cheese inside. Yummy.

Frugal Eats in the Money District (11)

My quest is to find good, inexpensive food ($10 or less) that doesn't qualify as "street meat".

Beer & Whiskey Joints (11)

When I need a drink, I mean really NEED a drink, you'll find me here.
