Place: Hotel Sri Durga Bhavan, otherwise known as the Sit-Down Stand-Up.
Time: 10 am (ish)
Meal: Breakfast
The Scoop: We never tried this small diner, known as a 'hotel' when it was just across the street at the end of our block. It is known as the 'Sit-Down' because most places only have bistro style tables to stand at. In their new space, there are six tables that fit 30 people and the walk up High Tension Road really makes the trek worth a sit-down. Our Canadian friends Jenni and Raven showed us this space and we had to go back. Vivian and I ordered Rice Bath with an Indian minestroni-like sambar sauce instead of yoghurt, and two Wada plates came with more sambar and coconut chutney. The rice was tamarind flavored this time, and the dough and veggie wadas were fried to perfection. This was washed down with a bottle of water, hand opened by the 14 year old on duty. Total cost with tip (optional in India) 65 rupees, or about a buck fifty. We are definitely coming back.
