Editorial Review for Lassi – by Allison Austin
The Scene
Inside its seven-foot-wide confines, sunny, painted-brick walls and wood-and-copper fixtures keep things homey and neat. And while a narrow wood counter and three stools provide desperation seating, most folks choose to take lunch and dinner to go.
The Food
While several of the northern Indian specialties remain on the menu perenially, including the parathas and flavored lassis, most of the main-course dishes change daily. That means you'll have to call ahead or drop by to see if the shahi chicken, dark meat roasted with cilantro and ground nuts, slow-cooked cardamom-laced eggplant, or the tender lamb stew in a heavenly gravy are on the day's chalkboard menu. An order of the goat- or daikon-filled paratha (warm pancake-like flatbreads) and a mango or cardamom lassi (the yogurt-based drink the restaurant is named for) round out a perfectly pleasant, picnic-ready meal.

We order from Lassi all the time---pretty much since it opened and have had nothing but great food and service. We are Indian and it is the closest thing to home cooking out there. If you want Indian restaurant food, it's not the place for you. The food is clean and delicious--just like home. Delivery is timely considering what one has to go through for good delivery. We had one very late delivery and the next time we ordered, the owner had remembered and sent us a dessert on the house! I wouldn't let one bad day take you away from Lassi.
Pros: great food, great service
Cons: very small, no bar

We went to Lassi on a rainy day, so we were able to sit down, etc. But frankly, I've had better Indian food- better parathas in general. My husband and me also tried the mango and the cardamom lassi- again- I've had much better lassi. On the whole, we were excited before we came to eat there, and left a bit dissapointed.
