• Better Indian options available

The menu had a meatless section, which we appreciated but it wasn't exactly clear how to make those options vegan. The staff was receptive to questions about vegan and vegetarian options, but we had to specify that dairy meant butter and milk and the dish components weren't very clear so it took a good deal of questions and specification to attain vegan options. Overall the dishes were pretty bland, but perhaps it was because we ordered them mild in terms of spice. We got the vegetable pakoras (I liked their chili chutney? but greatly preferred Karma's mint chutney), bhindi aloo and daal mahkni with no cream. I love Indian food, so finding a place open around lunch was nice. I do feel like naan is simple enough that it could easily be vegan as it is at other places, but they did not have a vegan naan. Additionally, the service was nearly nonexistent, perhaps because of the available buffet, which had vegan options but didn't seem like a good option. I feel like the cost for vegetarian/vegan dishes didn't aptly reflect the lower cost of ingredients with an average cost of $11-13. For the cost, I would prefer to patronize a fully plant-based restaurant. I did enjoy the quiet atmosphere. Updated from previous review on 2016-08-13
