hidden gems?

Two weeks ago I stumbled upon a very small indian takeout place that that is only open on weekdays, between 11 and 5 (Guru, up on Broadway, 5 blocks north from Teele)). The food is heavenly, but they do not advertise their existence at all.

I wonder if there are any other very small places I should know about that are similar - great food at cheap prices, zero advertising?

I've heard SO much about that place that I have to check it out before I move out of the neighborhood.

Also, if you're willing to travel over to Central one day, there's a place called Baraka on Pearl Street - very small, but amazing Moroccan food and the best lemonade I've tasted (with rose-water and muddled mint and cardamom - SOOO good!) Very reasonably priced.

I'll echo praises of Baraka. Try the pureed carrot appetizer.

that, and the cheese/fig plate, as well as the Eggplant dish. A bit oily, but SOOO good.

Baraka is very good and unusual! It's really like stepping in to another part of the world inside that restaurant. Until recently, they did even have a sign outside, making it too easy to miss.

seconded/thirded whatever -- this place is the real deal. i spent a while in the "slum" areas of paris where a lot of north africans like the baraka patrons lived, this food is pretty much bar-none some of the best i've had.
and they speak north african french, which is awesome XD
