Sounds like it's perfect for non-desis but I get the feeling I would be paying for a meal I or my mother could easily prepare. I prefer Indian fusion restauarants that do things with Indian food that I've never seen before. On the other hand, the 'Single Hearts' even sounds like a great place to meet other like-minded people, which is one thing that these kinds of establishments are good for.</p> I agree with Shruti on this.

Imagine a restaurant where there are no prices on the menu and where the check reads $0.00 with only this footnote: “Your meal was a gift from someone who came before you. To keep the chain of gifts alive, we invite you to pay it forward for those dine after you.”

That’s Karma Kitchen, a volunteer-driven experiment in generosity.

When: Any Sunday between 12pm and 3pm Where: Polo India Club in Dupont Circly Why: delicious food, great way to meet new people (we have Community Tables), and the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon1

You know what, reading this just elevated my appreciation for aunties to a whole ‘nother level. I love my aunties.
