There's this great place to get a Naanwich in Arlington Center. What's a Naanwich you ask? It's a piece of delicious Naan wrapped around chicken or lamb with some veggies and a yogurt sauce. Basically, if you like kabobs or gyros, you will like the Naanwich. The place my co-workers and I frequent is called Punjab Market/Chai Cafe. It's a small Indian market that sells lots of reasonably priced spices, lentils, prepared foods and the like. In the back is a small take-out counter specializing in sweet and savory Indian delights (lassis, samosas, and also the naanwich). Punjab, the full-service restaurant across the street, is also a highly-recommended destination for those wanting a bigger sit-down meal. They also have the Naanwich and other tasty lunch specials and dinner entrees.
Here are a few reasons why I love the Naanwich:
1) it's made with Naan. need I say more?
2) it's warm. a warm sandwich is always better than a cold one.
3) the yogurt sauce.
4) a welcome alternative to a typical American lunch: deli-meats, tuna salad, pb&j
5) wallet-friendly.
6) it comes wrapped in wax paper/foil so although it can be slightly messy with the yogurt sauce, it is a good bite to eat on the run.
