Sister Restaurants - Kabob and Curry and Rasoi

Providence is a really awesome city for many reasons - one of them being the delicious eateries on nearly every corner and all those others restaurants hidden away in plain-view nooks and crannies.

Two great restaurants are Kabob and Curry, located on Thayer Street, and Rasoi over on Hope Street. Theses two restaurants have the same owner and both feature a tasty assortment of Indian dishes.

Kabob and Curry

Food - 4/5 - lots and lots of appetizers and entrees that are all delicious and perfectly spiced!

Drink - 3/5 - awesome tamarind margaritas and several imported beers

Service - 4.5/5 - very attentive without being pushy or overbearing

Price - 4.5/5 - very affordable

Ambiance - 3.5/5 - can be pretty crowded and noisy - a bit impersonal, which isn't always a bad thing...
Kabob and Curry is situated right in the center of Thayer Street, which is right by several colleges including Brown University and The Rhode Island School of Design. This fact means that Kabob and Curry is always bustling with a young, happening and hipster crowd. Also, this young crowd is relatively thrifty, meaning that prices are very reasonable.


Rasoi

Food - 4.5/5 - much more diverse menu with loads of interesting, and uncommon entrees

Drink - 3/5 - usual fare - some beer, some mixed drinks - very nice bar seating area

Service - 4.5/5 - speedy and friendly

Price - 4/5 - pretty affordable

Ambiance - 4/5 - nice open space - can be crowded and still feel very personal

Rasoi is an example of one of those hidden in plain-view restaurants. It is located right off of Hope Street, a street which cuts through the East Side of Providence and features several other phenomenal eateries. The food at Rasoi is heavenly - I am normally in complete euphoria when I eat here, and perhaps you will be too! Rasoi features a more diverse menu than Kabob and Curry and I always like to try something new when I go - I think my favorite thing is the Lamb Pasanda - highly recommended!

So, if your up for an Indian adventure, get out to either one of these restaurants and feast your face on some scrumptious grub!
