01:06 pm - FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT TO MOVE TO THE DOLLAR CURRY HOUSE

. . . and I used to LIVE on Allston Way across the street from this place. I still can't believe it. I'm going here this weekend or the next.
Dollar Curry House

2136 Oxford St. at Allston Way
Berkeley CA 94704
(510) 849-0149
DollarCurryHouse.com

As members of the family that owns Khana Peena on Solano Avenue, Vikas and Deepak Aggarwal wanted to upgrade the dollar-restaurant look and feel. Dollar Curry House is a split-level, Bollywood-soundtrack-pulsing, beer-on-tap, high-energy paisley vision in jade-green, aquamarine, and scarlet velveteen. Four types of appetizer, two soups, three salads, three breads, ten vegetarian entrées, three desserts, and drinks including beer on tap are $1 each. Twelve chicken and lamb entrees are $1.99. Because of the prices and because it’s right across the street from UC Berkeley’s West Gate, this place can be dauntingly loud. But these rock-bottom prices make up for just about anything.

Hours: 11:00 a.m.-9:30 p.m. daily
Price: $
Serving: Lunch, Dinner, Snack Food
Reservations: Accepted
Parking: Street
Dress: casual
Features: Takeout, Wheelchair Accessible, Vegetarian Friendly
Entertainment: none
Cuisine(s): Indian and/or Pakistani

Come visit me. I'm no longer on Allston. But I'm about 5-6 blocks down the road!!! Oh. did I mention it is one door down from Ben and Jerry's and Ben and Jerry's is next to Starbucks and Quizno's as well as about 50 restaurants are on the neighboring 3-4 streets? Including CHEAP Chinese.

I guess I'm lucky that I never got into the habit of buying food. That sounds awful. I only go grocery shopping with my bf, and pay for my own stuff, and we eat out only on the weekends, during which he pays for me. I usually just get a salad because I'm still ashamed of eating in front of people for the most part unless I'm binging or drunk.

I've just been anorexic longer than I've been bulimic and never really went to restaurants to buy binge food, so I probably never will, and there is no temptation to do so.

Wow...I never comment anymore, but I had to when I saw your post. I am a grad student at Berkeley and I work like 2 minutes away from Dollar Curry and live on Allston Way. That is probably way too much info for the internet, but I just got kinda excited. I heart Indian food :)
