Ever since I had the Missus have a taste of the chickpea and garbanzo "Happy Belly Plate" from Greenhaus, She's been hooked. We get takeout every couple of weeks for the Missus to either have for lunch (when I'm too tired to make lunch for Her) or to eat at home when I'm not around to cook.
The Missus claims the chickpeas from Greenhaus is way better than what I make from home and I'm willing to agree; if it means I can retire from cooking and prepping garbanzos at home.
The Happy Belly Plate is basically a "protein" (the Spiced Chickpeas in this case), a "sauce" (the Lentils), and two sides....we get Basmati Rice and Naan. All for $12.
It is quite a bit of food as you can see. I'll sometimes supplement the order with a side of the Masala ($4) which I'll have with the naan.
This would be basically two meals for the Missus...or if I'm having the naan with the Masala sauce and perhaps something else like roasted cauliflower/potatoes it will feed the both of us, with enough for another meal for the Missus.
She enjoys the creamy chickpeas, the tender lentils, and it's just salty enough for Her to enjoy.
I've tried other items here as you can read from my previous post as well as the Naan Wrap with Spicy Tofu and Masala Sauce ($9.75).
In this case, I wasn't a big fan of mushy tofu and the naan was a bit too hard and crisp for a wrap in my opinion. A bit too much bread and veg to protein for me as well.
So, we'll just stick to what the Missus enjoys.
The owner is a really nice guy, ordering online from the Greenhaus website is easy, and there are no extra charges. So, I'm more than happy to support another locally owned business and it keeps the Missus happy. Which is very, very, important!
Things sure are changing in the Morena corridor. With the trolley coming in and new development....I understand that the car dealerships have lost their lease and will be slowly moving out.....it'll be interesting to see what happens to the area over the next 4-5 years.
