Lest Corner readers should think I have embarked on a jihad (K: Am I allowed

to say that? OK, thanks) against the fair city of Stamford, Connecticut,

let me give you some good news about the place.

There is an Indian takeout shop/restaurant named “Chez Indus” (no, that

wouldn’t be my first choice if I were naming an Indian restaurant, either –

but please read on) right opposite Glenbrook railroad station. It’s just a

Mom & Pop operation run by two Punjabis (surname Gupta), serving really good

home-style North Indian food. WARNING: If you go for a sit-down meal — the

place seats about ten — you may wait AGES for your food. For takeout meals

though — I mean, phone in your order then go pick it up — I don’t see how

the place could be beat. Really, really good Indian food. I speak as a

person raised in England, of whose first 1,000 restaurant experiences,

approx. 800 were Indian.
