Silk Road Bistro Recession Special - Photo by Eric Carter @ Dizzy Pixel
If this isn’t a sign of our economic woes, I don’t know how much clearer it can get.
I commend Silk Road Bistro for this sign. What a great way to leave a lasting Silk Road Bistro impression in each passer-byer that walks down the San Fernando Street block between 3rd and 2nd. While a constant reminder of the impending doom effecting our economy isn’t a pleasant thought, the fact that you can get discounts on some great Indian food might help alleviate the painful thought of being let go, fired, squadooshed, canned, or “don’t let the screen door hit ya on the ass on the way out”.
I suppose this sign could be categorized as Sweet and Sour – but in the opposite order maybe? And when you show them your pink slip in in order to redeem your half off discount, will they say, “Penny for your thoughts”?
Can Silk Road Bistro become a kind of Laid Off Anonymous where the no longer employed can share their story and seek friendship and support during such a rough time known as a “Recession”? Probably not. And that is most likely not their end game for the discount offer. Clever thought none the less right?
Even if you haven’t been given that dreadful pink slip, (do they make it pink to try and keep spirits lifted? Why not red?) try to get down to Silk Road Bistro for lunch or dinner sometime. Great prices, calm environment, and fantastic food. I personally recommend the combo plate, (called something else) which gives you Salmon, Chicken, Shrimp, and one other thing… I want to say, lamb?… along with rice. And make sure to get an order of Garlic Naan – oh man is it good.
Good job Silk Road Bistro! SanJoseCityLiving.com is proud to have you in our neighborhood. Its that kind of witty sense of humor and good food that helps liven up San Jose.

Great Comment,it shows a great spirit of optimism and an ability to see the silver lining in the clouds.Yes it says there is a down turn accept it,embrace it,and v give you half off so you can still smile about it.Things which cant be cured have to be endured.The pain is there we didnt necessarily cause it there were subprime defaults,the world economy is in a tailspin,maybe we dint save that bottom dollar and maybe we will start now overall the cheeky cheery message it sends out is quintessentially american”We shall Overcome” great by line Kudos to its spirit.
