I tried these stalls on Saturday at lunch. They are in a new food hall (Great Southern Box Co) off Princeton and OBT. Across Princeton from the equally new shopping area with a Publix. They call it The Packing District or something. I believe it opened six weeks ago. It's better than the recently shuttered one at Lake Ivanhoe. It has free, plentiful, covered parking that you don't have to compete with condo residents for. It even has e-chargers. I was there at 11am. It was just opening. But, people were dripping in as I left. These are the other stalls inside: Antica Pizza, Braza (Brazilian), Kayos (Jamaican), Koa (Poke/Sushi), A'Lo Cubano (Cuban), Kabab2Go (Middle Eastern), Rajdhani (Indian), Fui Yo (Mexican), Eighty Twenty (Burgers) and Stackd Brownies. It is a small room with a bar in the center. Very new looking. High ceilings.
Dancing Yeti - I had the Jimbu Chicken Curry Bowl to go for $15. It came with dry basmati rice and a cucumber and tomato side salad. The dish was chunks of chicken in a bland tomato sauce. They were supposed to put hot sauce on the side, but, they forgot. I'm not sure how much difference it would have made. I kind of wish that I had stuck to my guns and ordered a naan sandwich. I could have had the same dish on bread. Most of the six mains are with rice or on naan. They also have some bites (like samosas). Indian drinks too. One location in Tampa. At the left rear of the hall. They added a $1.20 "common fee". I'm getting sick of these tack ons.
The Stuffed Puff Co - Across from Yeti. Also, owned by Stackd Brownies (you can see my Lake Mary review of them). I had a chicken pot pie to go for $14. I was good. I ate it three days later and it held up. They said to reheat/nuke the whole pie (it was cooked) for six minutes. I cut it into thirds and nuked it for under two minutes and that was enough. And they wanted me to bake it a little. That ain't happening. White meat chicken, potatoes, carrots, corn, etc. The pie dough could have used an oven's touch. It was huge. Individual pizza size. They gave me a cup of some kind of cream of chicken looking "sauce" that I used sparingly because of calorie concerns. They also had chicken and dumplings, lasagna, beef stroganoff and a few other puffs. A $7 knish. They added a $1.12 "common fee". You realize I just reduce the tip by these fees or leave none?
*I'm going to try to try the new food hall in Maitland later this week.
