Cheapest Indian / Halal / other South Asian in Western CT

Submitted by blaze1234 t3_10pd9sd in Connecticut

My kids want this category for our monthly eating-out treat, we are kinda poor these days and they have not kept up with chores lately, so looking to spend as little as possible.

Area centered around Danbury up to the MA border, west of Waterbury north of Norwalk.

Does not need to be anything gourmet or "special", and ambiance and service quality are irrelevant,

in fact if the food is super great value even takeaway is acceptable.

Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Afghani, Uighur really any Middle Eastern would be fine too, but not east of Nepal.

And yes I have advanced google-fu skillz, looking for members' input based on experience or even hearsay please

Royal Guard Fish and Chips on main st Danbury is my go to for Indian/ Pakistani in Danbury. The restaurant is a pretty shitty hole in the wall but the food is good and cheap.

The Brookfield Market in the four corners also has a really good Indian menu.

Excellent thanks.

Which gives bigger portions? We share amongst the group

Royal Guard, but portion size for indian food tends to be small in general.

Yes. The Halal (Banglashi??) place next door used to do all you can eat lunch buffet for like $16, those were the days.

Dunya in Waterbury is great!

My son and I had dinner on Saturday night at Salvador right next door, DELICIOUS Turkish food and even a belly dancer! Highly recommend!

Kolam in Newtown is good. Coromandel in Darien and Orange is exceptional Indian. They aren’t “cheap” but entree portions are huge enough to share amongst family, so you wind up not spending that much.

Is New Haven too far? Tons of options in New Haven and nearby towns.

Yes too far but feel free I'll add them to gMaps for when we're in the area.

Thanks

I think there’s a decent middle eastern/Indian population in the area. So lots of good stuff! There’s also some random ones like Lalibela - Ethiopian, Tibetan Kitchen, Hachiroku - izakaya, Toka - Indonesian, Ketkeo - Laotian. Interesting Thai at Sept in Bangkok and Noa. Amazing sushi at Rockfish and ramen at Menya. Great city for ethnic foods.

Almost forgot Havenly, for middle eastern food. they support refugees.

Makes me want to move (close) to New Haven.

Longer commute into the city though

I bet not just immigrant populations, but the University = lots of diversity, and lovers of diversity

Wonderful place when I'm feeling flush or by myself.

Not at all the kind of pricing I'm asking for here, rarely can we three get out for under $80 all up.

I really miss the lunch buffet, all you could eat for $12

I would not jave used multiple labels if I thought they were the same.

I am looking for suggestions in any / all those categories.

We do cook dishes from all these cuisines at home, but once a month we go out, as a family, for a treat of food prepared by others.
