Hey hey hey Y'all! Let me tell you about this scrumptious…read morefood truck that I stumbled upon in The Heights called Marcos Spice. I was craving Indian curry and this Marcos Spice place came up, and I was like Marcos is a Mexican name, but the pictures and the reviews on Yelp kept raving about this butter chicken. Sooo... I went. I almost never do food trucks but I stepped out of my comfort zone and boy am I soo happy I did! The owner, Lee, is amazing!!!! He makes everything himself, and his sauces are from scratch. He showed me his spices, so I know he is the real deal Holyfield! I mean them spices looked like you might slap ya mammy! And that butter chicken sauce was soooo scrumdiddlyumptious!!!! I will go wherever he is to have more. Lee and his awesome sauces are at R Bar, Little Woodrow's on White Oak, and Tikila's various nights. I think like 6-midnight. If I remember correctly. Anyway! Find him. Use a flashlight! Whatever you have to do. Get there! And get some grub! You won't be mad AT ALL!

They always made this curry really good in overall taste, texture, gravy base, spices, etc. I first had it in either 2017 or 2018 at the original Rice Village spot and always made it a top option there ever since. It was really delicious, not too sour, not too loose. It had a right amount of oil, herbs n spice aromas and full of tender chicken too. It's an onion gravy, not creamy, but still so satisfying and exciting. Great, welcoming, friendly service as well.

The interior is decorated tastefully and the service is friendly and timely. The space is utilized smartly, with plenty of seating available. The dishes taste wonderful, and are considerate of palates that may not be able to tolerate extreme spice levels, like me. The dishes are rich and flavorful, with my personal favorites being saag paneer and chicken tikka masala. A nice place for some great Indian food!

You order your food up front and get your drinks up front; food is sent to your table and that's about the extent of service here. Unfortunately, there's a lot of construction going on all around outside currently. Their menu changed a bit since I last visited a year ago, and it seemed like some heavy hitters were removed. Their banh mi was swapped for a vegan version, for example. I tried their avocado quinoa salad with added chicken and got a side of curry couscous. Overall was not a fan of the salad and its flavor profile. The couscous was actually decent but fairly monotone. Overall, for a fast casual health spot, I think there's better options in the downtown / tunnel loop.

They have some of the most affordable prices and the quality is just as good if not better than the chain restaurants. They have daily specials as well as a mini store filled with snacks and drinks, desserts and fruit. My go to is always the soup special. I could live off of Tuesday's chicken and dumpling soup. Full of flavor and filled to the brim, it's the next best thing to my mom's on a cold day. The owners are sweet and service is quick, and they've even added a few tables!

As you pass Adair's coming from the tunnels tucked away behind the escalators past the last bay of elevators in Wells Fargo you will find this deli...very hidden gem. Lots of different food options...sandwiches, wraps, salads, soups. A lot of convenient store type of items as well. Service is very friendly. Thus far the chicken wrap, the club, and the soups are my go to's. Con: some food items seem a bit on the smaller side

Enticed by the promise of flavors, I ordered a chicken tikka kati roll and a paneer naan pizza. I…read moreinitially thought the color of the chicken in the tikka roll was a little off putting (a shade of pink instead of the classic orange), and the flavor wasn't quite right. but then I realized they had given me a chicken cilantro wrap instead. The meat needed some flavor, and there weren't any sauces or dips (which would've helped a bit!) to save the day. The naan pizza was essentially a perfectly flat store-bought naan with the texture of a slightly softer version of a Lunchables pizza crust. The paneer was bright red but didn't have much flavor. The bits of onions and melty cheese were the highlight. MT said it was like bad school cafeteria pizza, but I'm easily satisfied with melty cheese on bread (although this one was quite dry) :) I liked how the food was hot and fresh, but it was pretty pricey for the quality, lack of flavor, and amount of food. I'm a little bummed they messed up my order. Probably would try something else at Lyric Market next time!

Kati Roll Wala is not at all like the Kati Roll in NYC, but the smells and nostalgia in the mango juice rings true. I found their tikka bowl little spicy but their wraps add enough carbs (sorry not sorry) to soften the spice. My husband, however, will devour any and all food from Kati Roll Wala. He even commented, "your mom would enjoy this" - that made me laugh. No matter what you order, definitely get a mango juice. The service is quick and this is a a great stop before theater, symphony, or ballet.
