Ghareeb Nawaz Restaurant — an indian spot in Devon Avenue. The kind of place your parents probably knew about too. They don't skimp here. Easy on the wallet, cash only. "The experience was a blur but the cauliflower (orange dish) was the best, alongside the garlic naan" — Andy Le [$]

🌱Vegan & vegetarian friendly — real options, not one sad pasta.
💵Cash only — hit the ATM first, worth it.

The prices are great. $9 - $12 typically. CASH ONLY. Great deal. Lots of food for your money. No frills. The butter chicken was good. Huge picture menu. Huge place. Many patrons seem to be Indian and Pakistani and Middle Eastern customers it seemed so I assume the food tastes pretty good and decently authentic. There's a prayer room. Bathrooms could use better cleaning please.
