WHAT HE GOT

• The place: Greenlife Grocery.• The dishes: Chana Masala, Chicken Tikka Masala, Tofu Tikka Masala, Chipotle Chicken Chowder, sambosa, slice of Green Italian pizza.• The cost: $19.47.

Have you ever had a group of co-workers or friends disagree over where to go for lunch? One wants pizza and another wants Indian and another wants home-cookin’.

Greenlife’s relatively new hot-bar options can remedy the situation.

Three of us loaded up to-go plates the other day and while some of the items were just OK, others were pretty good. The big thing was that we had choices.

We opted to get a variety and share. I loaded a plate with Chana Masala, Chicken Tikka Masala, Tofu Tikka Masala — masala is a blend of South Asian spices — and a sambosa, a stuffed pastry that, in this case, was filled with potato, onion and peas. I also got a cup of Chipotle Chicken Chowder.
