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. --Prem Janardhan
