Pakistani Chaat place- the food is unusual, affordable, and really tasty, but the real reason to go is the owner who is a total character. Also they have over 50 Lassi flavors made with fresh ingredients. Limited seating indoor or outdoors, but you can always take it to go to Clark Park around the corner.
