For those who've missed it, here's the link. Apologies if mention's already been made--I'm too beside myself to do a search :o) :o).

I'd eaten there a number of times when I worked in the area, and while it was certainly far superior to the terrible overpriced salad bars the neighborhood teems with, it never struck me as being great. Maybe I should have ordered something besides the dosas (which Robert Sietsema did not mention in his write-up). --Adam Fri Apr 27 21:25:10 -0700 2001 1020660 0 Adam Stephanides 2 1020669 Minar is not known for doing Dosas, so rightly Robert did not mention it. For dosas in that neighborhood, go a block south to 30th (between 5th & Bwy) a kosher place called Dimple. Sat Apr 28 05:53:47 -0700 2001 1020665 0 Anil Khullar
