Chipotle is that you?

Recently, I visited two establishments that is obviously Chipotle-esque. Tava Indian Kitchen boasts their burrito and rice bowl with familiar Indian ingredients, such as daal, tikka, etc., while Asian Box boasts their rice bowl with Vietnamese-American fushion ingredients, such as lemongrass chicken, siracha, tamarind sauce, etc. Interestingly in Palo Alto, both Tava Indian Kitchen (also in SF) and Asian Box (also in Mountain View) are almost right across each other.

Among these fast service restaurants, I would pick Chipotle for price, Asian Box for fresh/healthy ingredients and Tava for Indian cravings but can't go to an authentic Indian restaurant. 

Tava's Indian rice bowl with chicken tikka. I still prefer when everything is not mixed in together, especially for Indian spices/ingredients.

Asian Box's noodle bowl with steamed veggies and chicken lemongrass. Yum!
