The food is wonderful...preparing it is a devotional practice for those who do it (it is part of the Hare Krsna Temple...but there is no proseletyzing, I promise!!!) So fresh...and super affordable. Beautiful little secret garden in the back, and a wonderful climbing tree for little ones in front :-)

Truly Unique..with a charming(if a bit sad) back story). Watts is a very poor neighborhood now...and the site of terrible riots in the '60's, but the Towers are a definite must-see!!!
