Jyoti Bihanga/More on Urban Plates

Jyoti Bihanga: so freakin' delicious. When I first moved to SD and didn't know a ton of restaurants, I used to go there frequently. Now that I know so many more, and since CH doesn't eat veggie, I almost never go there. But when I make my yearly visit (usually with my visiting Mama), I am always struck by how yummy and fresh the food is. This time, I had a yummy fresh Indian kind-of-dal soup (it was not a traditional dahl); and the Buddha Burger, which was super-delish. Very wonderful bread, and a great veggie burger. Mom got the veggie stir fry, which she always loves and also the soup.

Urban Plates: Not always consistent. I think the salad has gone downhill. I wasn't wild about the kale (Jimbo's sesame kale is much better and the kale doesn't taste so raw and chewy). Mashed potatos are still good. The economics of meat/fish are interesting. For the $10 carve up, they give you massive quantities of steak if you order that, but only a little bit of ahi. I end up still hungry and CH is very full. I did enjoy the kids' pizzette that SB got (fabulous artisan bread crust), but he didn't.
