Hi,

For those who have arrived newly this semester, I just want to inform you of 
what is, in my opinion, one of the best lunch options on campus, and my
personal favorite now for a long time.

Sree serves Indian lunch boxes out of a green van on Frew Street, just outside
Scaife Hall (next to Flagstaff Hill), every weekday from 11AM to 2PM, rain or
shine.  The boxes come in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian varieties, both of
which contain two varieties of rice, a pita bread, and either three
curries/dals or two, depending on whether it is vegetarian or non.  This lunch
is a lot less greasy than your standard restaurant fare, which has certainly
been a boon for my stomach in the long run, believe me, and it is very tasty,
while not being outrageously spiced.  I sometimes take a spicy pickle that he
also provides on the side.  The lunch is really cheap compared to most (all?)
other options on campus at three dollars.  It is a very good and balanced
vegetarian option in my opinion, and the chicken is also quite good.

Sree's is on the web at http://www.srees.com, and has an 800 number:
1-800-390-SREE.  I think he publishes his menu on the web.  He has a location
next to the Open Flame in Squirrel Hill, and also a restaurant in Sharpsburg
where you can eat stuff that is more South Indian rather than the North Indian
stuff he serves for lunch.

Anyway, I just want to say, the food is tasty, cheap, healthy, and served
with a smile.  If you are also a regular Sree customer and I have missed some
relevant bboards, I encourage you to post to them, and to tell your friends.
