Tiffan Wallah- questionable curry in Curry Hill

After watching "Slumdog Millionaire" last night, it was hard to resist going to Tiffan Wallah in honor of Slumdog's Chai Wallah. Reviews for the South Indian vegetarian restaurant were overwhelmingly possitive. Myths of dosas of epic proportions were ubiquitous. So maybe it was a mistake to stand by my standard dish of punjabi style curry.

While it is easy to see in the hip and stylish restaurant (which thankfully shyed away from Curry Row's stylistic tendancies) that the dosas were indeed humongous, crispy, and overwhelmingly popular, the generous menu space dedicated to vegitarian curries of every type was not a direct indication that I should order one.

My aloo chana (potato chickpea curry in tomato sauce) was fresh but lacked the salty ghee infused kick that I have come to love, while the boyfriend's okra curry was surprisingly smokey and mild. We remained undecided at the end of the meal whether the smokiness was intentional or his curry was burnt.

Overall I may come back to give Tiffan Wallah another try- but it will probably be durring the $6.95 lunch buffet. Ten dollars is a decent curry price, but I'd prefer to spend that money elsewhere next time.
