If you're looking for a quick, affordable and delicious meal in the Bay Area, you have to go to Zareen's. This is one of the best restaurants in the Bay Area, but let me put you on their lunch combo thalis. The restaurant itself just has such good vibes as well. Outdoor patio. I started off with their $5 mango lassi. It was thick, creamy and had such a good mango flavor. This is the combo thali. It comes with your choice of protein, rice or naan, lentils and salad. You literally get all of this for around $14 to $18. I always get their garlic naan. It's so flaky and soft and look at the steaming hot paneer. It was oily, cheesy. The spinach is so good. I also get the chicken tikka masala. Very often so. The lentils and salad are great too. It adds something light to the meal. If you haven't been to Zareen's, definitely go check it out.
