Review: I ate here with a friend of mine; both of us are vegetarians and we had heard promising things about the restaurant. Unfortunately, it didn't pan out. The waitress didn't say a word to us the entire meal, the food wasn't prepared to order, and it was pretty cold. There was no choice of menu, which is fine, but if you're only going to provide one option, make it a good one! The lentils were very bland, the naan was flat and chewy, and the entree was spicy, but not very flavorful. It was all-you-can-eat, but neither of us wanted any more. Very disappointing.
 
Pros: Very quick * All you can eat *
Cons: No choices * Poor service * Bland

Review: When you go to a restaurant, what are the more important things that you look for... good service? good food? good environment? Ok, I'm going to say the Ayurveda Cafe provided NONE of these qualities. It was probably one of the worst dining experiences in my life. Our 15 year old looking waitress appeared bored and uninterested with us being there. The food was NOT cooked fresh, in fact it appeared to be stored right at the waitress station, and it was cold. I happen to be indian and while the food did taste homemade, I couldn't help but feel there was something very wrong with what I was eating. I wasn't feeling the ambiance either of this place, again something just didn't feel right. ok, I've said my peace.

Review: You do not get to choose your menu items; everyone is fed the meal of the day which is balanced according to dietary principles. The food and eveything else is fine. Vegans must stay away, since there are no vegan options (nor any other options, either).
 
Pros: Fine food * *
Cons: not for vegans * *

Review: I love this place. it is simple, soothing, and very satisfying. Set menu - you just choose brown or white rice and your beverage. Great deal, especially lunch. Indian thali style, all you can eat. Sometimes the food is amazing, sometimes just good, but you will always leave feeling very satisfied.
 
Pros: good value * soothing ambiance * variety
Cons: * *
