Lunch Date is my judgment on that speed-dating experience.) Who's your date today? Salvation Boulevard, by Larry Beinhart. Where'd you go? Mirch Masala. I was inspired by Dave's review this week. What'd you eat? I had the lunch buffet ($7.95.) How was the food? Delicious! The butter chicken and the paneer curry were my favorites, but the piping-hot naan delivered to the table was great, too.

I hear we're the best falafel in town.
