Short Orders (Bombay Sweets)
A Sweet Deal
Bombay
Sweets has two unlikely locations, one in a Brookfield strip mall
(19555 W. Bluemound Road) and the original at 3401 S. 13th St. As the
name suggests, the cooking is East Indian, but in this case everything
is vegetarian.
The setting is modest—you order at the counter
and help yourself to plastic flatware—but there are compensations:
Prices are very cheap. A samosa is only 75 cents—the same as a piece of
poori bread—and it’s the equal of any other local Indian
restaurant. Most entrée items cost between $4 and $6.
This is not
ordinary vegetarian fare, either. Many items will not be found
elsewhere. An example is the idli sambhar, a pair of steamed lentil
patties served with a cup of sambhar, a South Indian spicy broth. This
one comes dotted with black mustard seeds, along with a side of
delightful coconut sauce prepared with minced, fresh coconut.
The
setting may lack elegance, but the food is equal to, if not better
than, all of the local competition. Bombay Sweets is a diamond in the
rough for the dedicated vegetarian.

In 1964, the time of Doubt, no one spoke of pedophile priests, even if the Roman Catholic Church was already riddled with them. Directed by John Patrick Shanley from his own play, one of the most provocative recent productions on a Broadway that has surre
Although the wacky, anonymous, eyeball-mask-wearing members of The Residents make a point of labeling it a collection of "pop songs," The Bunny Boy isn't simply a pop album. It's also a cryptic Internet series that "inspired" the album, a live performance
Steve Grimm's place in Milwaukee music history remains secure for having fronted one of the city's most prominent bands to make it to a major label. It's been a while since Bad Boy was a happening entity, but Grimm remains vital-if inextricably linked to
Mitchell Street was once known as the Polish Grand Avenue, the main drag for Milwaukee’s large Polish-American community. The Poles began moving away in the 1970s, making way for new chapters in the city’s immigrant story. Mitchell Street has
Little touches set it apart: the twist of lime on the rim of a glass of cranberry juice, the faux modern paintings on the wall… Ten years after it opened, Metro Bar & Cafe, just off the lobby of Hotel Metro (411 E. Mason St.), remains a timelessly
