Restaurant:India Sweets and Spices
Location: 3126 Los Feliz Blvd (just east of Griffith Park)
Type of restaurant: Fast-food Indian
They stipulated: Like your veggies. India Sweets and Spices sticks to a non-meat menu.
What we ordered: Bengan bartha (eggplant); chickpeas; vegetables and mushrooms
High point: Food is served cafeteria style -- you can grab and run. Plus, the adjacent Indian grocery is huge -- and carries a wide variety of product, including imported British candy bars (Nestle Aero bars!)
Low point: The menu says a medium serving of rice costs $2. The woman behind the counter insisted that it cost $2.50. I challenged her, but she wouldn't budge. I finally gave up.
Overall impression: Cheap, good Indian food in a pinch -- perfect when you're just not in the mood to cook. But this is by no means a replacement for tastier spots like Electric Lotus. In particular, the Bartha was kinda disappointing (we're big eggplant fans) -- way too salty.
Chance we will go back: Definitely-- when we're looking for a quick dinner option.
