Rainy Day, Greasy Grub

Bombay Cafe
11213 Lee Hwy # D, Fairfax, VA - 22030

Since I've converted most of my co-workers to spice addicts (in a highly slow but insidious fashion), the die hards know where to head when it's time for a good ol' desi buffet. Bombay Cafe (20 mins. outside of DC) sits in one of those corner malls with large boxes of mithai decorating the windows. More importantly, it's about a 7 min. drive from my office. Forget the cheap plastic chairs, run towards the chaat. Everyday there's a new menu to choose from - although the south indian choices leave much to be desired - and today we had things like chhole, mutton curry, aloo shimla mirch and urad daal to choose from. Then there's the gulab jamun, which may be from the packaged variety, but does the job for satisfying your sweet craving. Back to work, people? Zzzz... afternoon siesta methinks.

Cost: Lunch buffet $7.99 (weekdays)
