"Restaurants are overdoing it with mac and cheese—places nowadays just take any ingredient, toss it in with some cheese and elbow macaroni, and charge $25 for it. That’s not the case at Curry And Tikka, an Indian spot in South Nashville where the tikka mac and cheese contains large chunks of bell pepper and a healthy swirl of spicy tikka masala sauce for around $10. It’s a dish that somehow gets tastier after bites of delhiwalla chicken tikka, a plate of melt-off-the-bone, expertly charred poultry with a visible layer of yogurt and spices. It’s hard to find a better, more affordable (and tasty) lunch than this, especially considering they have a $15-per-person buffet. But whatever you decide to order, make sure it includes some garlic naan, just one of seven homemade breads on the menu, along with some saucy cauliflower manchurian." - ann walczak, carlo mantuano, jackie gutierrez jones 2
