We therefore find Iranian films most alluring.

Indus Flavour – Pocket friendly vegetarian food
The North Campus area has sprouted countless restaurants in the GTB Nagar area. We have tried quite a few of them and are frankly impressed.

And this may be a deterrent for some diners who are not comfortable eating at joints serving non-vegetarian. This one is for them and for anyone who fancies sumptuous food of the vegetarian variety.
