Guru the Caterer in the Globe again

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Our favorite local Indian take-out & catering has once again been featured in the Globe's food section!

My favorite bit, because it's so true:
Eager customers line up out the door and onto the sidewalk waiting to get to the counter and see what the choices are that day. Bhetia has a devoted following and chats with each fan at the small counter, greeting many as old friends. It's more a community happening than a tedious wait in line.

Guru is also expanding into the space next door (where the Chinese restaurant was before the fire) and will have a much larger kitchen and larger take-out area including a few tables. Presumably in warmer weather, there will be tables outside on the patio, too.

If you haven't tried this place yet, get thee up the hill to Teele (and a bit past) and get some. They also catered the last Theatre@First cast party and there were rave reviews. Yumyum.

I HAD GURU LEFTOVERS FOR LUNCH TODAY!!!

After reading the first article I got some folks together at work, and now Pushp delivers lunch to us once a week. The only disadvantage is that I don't want Indian food from anywhere else anymore. Today was chicken korma and it was amazing.

I hear ya. I wish I could get my office to use him for our periodic catered lunches, but he doesn't meet the apparently primary criterion of "excessively boring".

[ron_newman]

If you have the catered lunches every day, and he catered all of them, that might become excessively boring.

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

I suppose periodic *could* mean daily, except it does not in this case. It's once every two weeks. :P

But still, Guru wouldn't be excessively boring in high frequency because it's different every day.

This place has by far the shadiest storefront I've ever seen. It *always* smells good though. It'll be pretty cool to see it spruced up and I'll definitely be eating there more.

I think the success of the take-out portion of the business has been a bit of a surprise to him as well. I told him ages ago that he needs a better sign (and with lights, so you can actually see the place from the street after dark) and he's said he's taking that advice. :) I look forward to the new front as well.

Yeah, I've basically walked by it in the dark and just seen an open door with a sign on it. Part of me wondered what the deal was, it wasn't until I started hearing raves that I figured it out.

It will be cool, but also a shame to lose the shady storefront. I like getting great food from a secret hole in the wall.

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

I think I'll go tonight, before it goes away. :-)

[lbmango.livejournal.com]

Agreed. It's like our little secret.

ours and everyone elses, but still.

[m00n.livejournal.com]

Touche, but I *am* looking forward to the outdoor seating.

[ron_newman]

Unless that's going to start in the next week or two, might as well wait until May.

[m00n.livejournal.com]

Pshaw. I'd totally eat outside in the sleet and freezing rain. ;-)

we just tried him today ... he seems like a total sweetie, the food was great, and we'll definitely be going back!
