The Best Indian Food In LA Is In A Gas Station | Legendary Eats

I'm from Bombay, and Bombay street food is Frankie, and this is the only place that actually serves that. And it's kind of authentic, and it's really tasty. This is so good. This is amazing. This is really, really delicious. Oh my god. Take the Mexican burrito, which people know is like a mainstay of L.A. culture, and then you package that up into like an Indian offering, but the way you prepare it is Indian in nature with a naan, and then all the flavors inside too. People love it. I mean, we had a sign outside for a few months, and people were taking pictures and posting it, and that's kind of how the popularity grew, and then once they started eating the food and tasting the flavors, they were floored by it. We had a space free here, a fully working kitchen that was empty, and we decided, let's do something with it. Our dad is a big cook, and we've always grown up around food. When we're eating dinner, we're already talking about tomorrow's dinner. Cooking has been such a huge influence in our lives. Ah, it smells so good. Mmm. I love cooking. My mom loves cooking. My hobby is cooking, so I learned a lot of things from my mom. Frankie's are pretty hard to find in L.A., so this is one of the only spots I know to come to. I like this. It has a lot of gravy, and the cucumber is a nice touch too. So my first time having a Frankie's is going to be at a gas station on Santa Monica, which I just feel is like the most L.A. thing I could possibly think of, other than good old salad pizza. It's stuffed with cauliflower, and it smells so good, and they threw a whole bunch of different sauces on it, and I just know that it's going to be packed with flavor, but it's vegetarian, which is really nice. You know, it's good to be able to not have to stuff your face full of meat, which is usually what I'm doing while I'm working. There's something really comforting about it too. I think it's all the cheese, and the potatoes, and like the garlicky bread. It, to me, is very similar to what a lot of Americans consider to be comfort food. This is amazing. This is exactly what I want to eat for lunch. It's not a burrito. It's a Frankie. It's crunchy. It's kind of smooshy in certain places. It's like, you know, sour, and it's spicy, and all of the different things work together really well, and every time you go back for another bite, you get something different. You can't figure it out, and like, that's what's so great. To see someone that, like, never tried Indian food take this, I guess, risk, and come into a convenience store, and then try, you know, gas-dishing Indian food, and then be overwhelmed, and then go to another restaurant and be like, hey, wait a sec, that doesn't even stack up to the gas-dishing Indian food. So, we're overjoyed when we see that kind of reaction. Yeah, dude. That was incredible. Hang on. Wow.
