It is called Shree Foods on the main street. Went there a few months back. It is a very small family run eats place. It features South Indian Cuisine. Dosas, Idlis, Rice, Sambar Chutneys and pickles. It targets "cost-conscious" diners. Mainly self serve. Side dishes were on the side bars. Some of them free. Some not. The menu is very much limited. He makes fixed quantities of a few items and scracthes them off the menu as they run out. The day I went he had, {1. masala dosa, 2. pesarat (a variant of dosa) 3. Samosas 4. vadas 5. spinach curry and rice 6. some spicy dhal and rice}. The list changes everyday. Quality of food was decent, portions were a wee bit on the skimpier side. Generally felt like home-cooked food. Get this: My friend tells me he runs a high tech operation on the internet and email! Accepts packed lunch orders by email and brings them to UPitt parking lot for distribution. I did see a fossilized vt100 terminal incongruously behind the pickles bar. So it could be true. So the key words here are: Limited Choice, Lower Cost, South Indian (andhra to be precise). Paper plates, Plastic spoons and styrofoam cups. I would go there again. Ravi Sundaram 08/16/95
