Food was great! Authentic for sure. The man serving us was very very very polite and welcoming. The place is cafeteria style. You eat on a styrofoam plate. Great food, but lacks decor. They also warmed my naan in a microwave behind the food sterno. Cheap, large portion, and quick!
giving this place a solid 4.5! the food is decent (though i wish my naan was a bit thinner and flakier, but that's personal preference.)
the curry is great and the ingredients are really fresh tasting. i am super finicky about meat in my indian curry because it is too easy to overcook the meat or some places cut costs as use fatty, cheaper, less desirable meat chunks hoping the curry will hide the taste/quality.
that being said, the spicy hyderabadi style chicken 65 was faaaaantastic! the best part of my meal was the overwhelmingly wonderful customer service. i am training for an upcoming spicy curry eating contest and the gentleman who helped me was patient, informative, helpful, and generous. so was the older lady (his mom perhaps?).
this place is great for: affordable prices, fast food, delicious food, centrally located, helpful staff, halal meat
things to consider about this place: has sit down but is focused more on grab & go, cash only, food is not warmed so ask to have it heated or heat it at home, menu is preset so modifications are difficult to accommodate
Lasani is that Indian place I always glanced at askance on my way to Chandni. But this last time I was in a more adventurous mode and looked in, lured by the $5.99 price tag. For that you get a generous portion of two veggie dishes and some rice.
The lady manning (or wo-manning) the buffet first tried to sell me a "ready" lunchbox that was obviously rejected for some reason by a previous costumer. On most days I would consider this $1 discount (or even bargain for more), but Lasani and I were not yet in a circle of trust, and starting off our relationship with a mystery lunch box was not the way I wanted to go. The propietress relented and served me the normal way.
Despite the "A" awarded it by the Health Department, Lasani seems to have collected several reviews skeptical of its commitment to cleanliness of preparation and presentation. I cannot vouch for its culinary hygiene but experienced no gastric disturbances, so take that for what it's worth. The food was good. I went with chickpeas and a squash stew, both of which were really great.
There's little decor to speak off, but it does have a really homey family feel, with folks who seem to be friends or relatives of the family sitting around reading the paper and playing with their kids.
