Dawat, UCF Area - Closed

I stopped by this Indian place near that old Bowling Alley on 50 and Rouse Rd on Friday at lunch. It was supposed to be a good kebab house called Kurry and Kebab. They said those guys just got up and left one day. Just a few weeks ago. I guess dust doesn't gather in the Indian community. I looked at the buffet and then the prices and the general look of the restaurant and decided that all I could trust them with would be a $3.50 Chicken Samosa. I really wanted a kebab specialist (as the old place was reviewed elsewhere) and I wasn't going to be the guinea pig to see if these surprise contestants could match up. The samosas were ok. There were two of them. Although, I go to enough "foreign" markets now that I usually see these types of items in their frozen, packaged state. It kills the thrill when you know they are just warming things you could buy yourself. Dumpling lovers be scared (or mad). So, there you go. An Indian restaurant of zero distinction. A couple of locals said there weren't many (any) Indian places near by. Maybe that is why you'd go.

I liked the one in WP. Glad to see I'm not writing in a vacuum. I used to read your stuff when you were on Blogger too. Good to see I haven't alienated everyone in the area yet.

Nope. We're here watching you take a proper shit on people who don't care about their food.

Holy Crap. And I'm not kidding. That's exactly what I'm trying to do. I get all these complainers that want me to pity the owners plight. I didn't think anyone got it. I want them to know that they exist at our pleasure and not the other way around. I may use that line as my mission statement.
