Tried the paramount indian place. It was nice, but for 15 bucks vs 20 at Chilli India I think I'd take Chilli India.

Also everyone seemed to have like sweet and sour pork or honey chicken or whatever with plain rice, but the only place I could find (on the left as your walked in) that had the deep fried meat/sauce combo had fried rice? Am I missing something?

Indian or Sri Lankan? Ceylon Wok is pretty legit, but generally has a long lineup after 12:15

Indian. yeah the line at Ceylon was a turn off. Couldnt even see the food. Shame about the no dumplings thing. I also recon I'd make a friggin killing opening a toastie shop in there.

Ah yeah, the indian joint is okay, but definitely not the best curry place in the court. For dumplings it's hard to beat ShanDong Mama, but you need to go with a group. Getting one plate there isn't worth it.

Honestly try the Lankan joint next time if you can. The devilled chicken/fish are soooo good. Kottu rice as well.
