Indian Take Out

The day of the wedding we napped for 3 hours after returning to the hotel.  We didn't get to eat any lunch, so when we woke up at 4pm we were starving.  We took an auto rickshaw to Haldiram to get some grub and it turned out it is not a sit down restaurant.  (Even with all my research, quite a few things in India turned out not to be what I thought.  Lost in translation, I suppose.) 

Haldiram is a take out place with a few standing only high top tables to eat there.  It was very crowded, looked modern and clean, and there was a security guard out front.  All good signs that it's a good place to get food from.

It was a bit confusing at first figuring out how and where to order, and then we had to wait 10 minutes for 5pm to arrive so that we could order the South Indian Platter.  It was worth the wait.

So we got our Indian take out, took our waiting rickshaw back to the hotel and enjoyed some very tasty dosas, idlis and some pizza-like thing.  G found the dosa too spicy but was happy with rice and dahl. 

This may be hard to believe, but this was one of the best meals we had in India.  We got 2 South Indian Platters (as seen below), one order of masala dosa, an order of dalh and rice, and 2 waters.  Our total, with 12.50% tax, was 576 rupees ($12.80 USD).  And we couldn't finish all of it.

G eating an idli, which she surprisingly doesn't care for.  Although she won't use it to scoop up anything, so by itself it is rather bland.
