India Sweets & Curry House — Restaurant in Los Angeles

My Pico Boulevard pilgrimage began in earnest at India Sweet House, an institution since 1981 that wears its years with quiet pride. Behind the counter, trays of sweets glistened like treasure, but my quarry was the samosa—a proud, triangular parcel that has launched a thousand daydreams.

Here it was: a fat, well-formed samosa, warm in the hand, its crust flaking just enough to reveal a heart of potatoes and peas touched with what seemed the right measure of spice. Not so fiery as to alarm a cautious diner, yet lively enough to remind him he is alive.

And so, the Great Samosa Quest sails on, with India Sweet House as a worthy first entry… and the kachori as the stowaway that...

I politely asked to change from for-here to to-go. She said “but I already put the food on the [plastic] plate.” I just accepted it and ate in a rush and left. It wasn’t even crowded either.

1. What difference would it have made if I had actually eaten for-here and then asked for a to-go box later?

2. Why is preserving a plastic plate—that costs fractions of a penny—worth more than customer service satisfaction and future potential sales? You save a penny, but potentially lose a customer’s future visits and their positive recommendations and word of mouth to...
