Not just snacks, so good! Close to what I used to get in California.

And for ice cream have you tried Clementines? Their texture/taste is amazing. Brickleys is good local stuff, but clementines is something else.

I still can’t wrap my head around a place called “not just snacks” a) being a restaurant b) being an Indian restaurant

They are probably missing so much business because of this name.

For real, it's a crazy confusing/misleading name. Even better; they run a spices/imported foods minimart across the street named... "Not just spices". They do like a theme :)

But IMO they have the best "traditional" (i.e. what I've come to expect from american indian food, no idea if it's authentic) Indian food in the area that I've tried. Very no-frills, but very good.
