spice cove

6th st between 1st & 2nd aves

after borat (slightly disappointing, actually), cynthia and i went for indian food along the strip of 6th st. indian restaurants. on the south side of the street, we went for the best bargain – a place offering a $9.95 prix fixe of soup, appetizer, naan, entree, and dessert! spice cove is a tiny (nearly clautrophobic) restaurant with a kind of intensely decorated atmosphere. the service is friendly, though, and the food is intensely spiced in a tasty way! the tomato-lentil soup was delicious, the meat samosa a little less spiced than i would have liked, but the lamb curry also very tasty. the naan is soft and slightly salted. i wouldn’t say it was amazing amazing food, but i think for the combination of price and food quality, it is a recommended east village location. and also such a short walk away!
