Sree's

Amazing food. Awesome decor and inspiring owner, Vaidehi. Food was good: not too much of oil, healthy vegetables cooked home style. No colors, msg or anything else. Decor: Indian decor with amazing portraits. What is super inspiring is that Vaidehi cooks the food herself. She told me how she and her husband, Sree, started the business and she touched and cooked food for her customers for decades. Amazing, inspiring and extraordinary. I would strongly recommend. May her well lived life and good food inspire many people.

Sree's isn't fashionable, trendy, high-concept, or open for dinner. But what it IS is delicious and comforting. You get fragrant, flavorful, unpretentious home cooking served up in hefty portions, and it's an excellent value too. I had vegetable biryani with masala potatoes and yogurt salad, and it was exactly what I needed on a chilly fall day. I'm genuinely sad I'm not in town longer to dine here more. Recommended without hesitation or reservation!

I try to hit this up whenever I'm doing a weekday downtown walkabout. If I worked downtown I would be a much more frequent guest! It's very affordable, very portable and great flavors for anyone who loves Indian food. Usually I takeout and eat in on the bench by the river about a block away. When I've had company with me, we've eaten in but really this atmosphere is pretty sterile-- this is mainly a takeout place. If you're driving, the parking is pretty nonexistent most of the time but there are places you can pull over for a minute and service is fast if you feel lucky and don't have someone to stay with the car. Really the only downside is that-- as of this writing anyway-- Sree's is only open for weekday lunch.
