Operating inside a mango lassi-gold-colored building, the spacious and attractively decorated Delhi Diner restaurant serves a traditional Indian menu with many, many choices.  Lunch is a good time to pick up a bit of a bargain.  Though prices aren’t in the cheap category, lunch entrees do include a tasty soup, naan, and rice.  Condiments are always complimentary.  My dining partner and I shared a pakora appetizer, a chicken masala curry, and a mango lassi and were well fed.  My only quibble was with the chicken, which was not first cooked in a tandoori oven (I thought that was a requirement for this dish).  Items are cooked to order, so you can request your spiciness levels, though I found that medium-high seemed to translate as bland.  Vegan and gluten-free items are available.  Service was very good, and the practice here is to automatically add a 15% gratuity to the tab.
