It&#8217;s the real deal. It&#8217;s also inexpensive. Among the varieties of food were Mexican, Middle Eastern, Indian, pizza, sandwiches, burgers, Thai, sushi and teriyaki, and cupcakes and pies. Also, I don&#8217;t know if any of my readers are vegetarians who travel to Little Rock, but in case I do have such readers, I will mention that there is a vegetarian place as well. The seating is all open in the middle, so if you come with a group or family, each person can get what they want and then all sit together.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a gift shop selling Little Rock-themed gifts and locally produced items in the market area.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to order from the Indian restaurant:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Photo-Jan-25-2-35-38-PM.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19234\" src=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Photo-Jan-25-2-35-38-PM.jpg?resize=375%2C500\" alt=\"Photo Jan 25, 2 35 38 PM\" srcset=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Photo-Jan-25-2-35-38-PM.jpg?resize=375%2C500 375w, http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Photo-Jan-25-2-35-38-PM.jpg?resize=225%2C300 225w, http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Photo-Jan-25-2-35-38-PM.jpg?resize=1200%2C1600 1200w, http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Photo-Jan-25-2-35-38-PM.jpg?w=1680 1680w, http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Photo-Jan-25-2-35-38-PM.jpg?w=2520 2520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 85vw, 375px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Two entrees and basmati rice with naan for $8.99 is not a bad deal at all.
