The "white sauce with black flecks" in Jagash's post is yogurt and mint. I find it delicious.
I've gone to Mikes religiously for almost 6 years now. I absolutely love the atmosphere, although they have a tendency to play music too loud for conversation, which is definitively a downer for a place like this.
The beer priced competitively, not definitively not cheap, around 6$ a pint. Selection is decent but for those who work at Carleton, the location is just right.
Cheapest place for good food on campus; I wholeheartedly recommend the chicken naan and the pakoras. Just beware the white sauce with black flecks in it. Don't know the name, but it is not appealing to most.
Beyond that, good beers and great atmosphere. Heck, even supporting grad students while you are at it.
Definitely my prefered stop on campus, and there are times when it lives up to the other eateries in the area.
They have a good selection of beers, big names and microbreweries, as well as several types of roti, rice dishes, curries and naans. Overall, I'm happy with the price, the food and the atmosphere.
