First off, this food hall was fully of some many exciting vendors. It was hard to choose a place to eat - they all looked amazing but Smokin’ Joe won me over with the aroma of curry.The fish cutlet and curry rice was fantastic - savory and dense in flavor yet light. Highly recommend.Cons: it’s a busy food hall so finding seating is a ten minute activity, and I wish this dish was $15 instead of $19. Most dishes in this food hall are around $18 - Natalie DeRosa
