Super good and great atmosphere

Super fun decor and approach to service (you have a box on your table that contains everything you need and also signals the server when you’re ready to order) which lends to a great atmosphere and experience. Not to mention the food is delicious. Menu is well labeled (minus the chicken mixup mentioned in another review - definitely a typo). Also, we brought our very young baby and the owner of the restaurant very kindly held him for about 10 min and walked the restaurant with him while my husband and I ate our appetizers so that we could do it with 2 hands (on a Friday night no less). She really did not have to do that and she genuinely took him not because she wanted to seem like she was helping but because she actually wanted to be helpful. Is was so incredibly generous of her. I would highly recommend this place to vegans and vegetarians.

Great food, service needs work

I went with a vegetarian friend and we loved everything we got. The aloo chaat Tippin was delicious! My veggie Kurma was excellent too. My friend enjoyed her daal as well(contains ghee, so not vegan). The shared app plus a main was the perfect amount for me with out leftovers.

Our only issues were things that were made it clear that this was a fairly new restaurant. The menu had at least one mislabeling issue, though I suspect more. Chicken is definitely not vegan. I think is was likely the eggplant dish below it, which was not labeled as veg of any sort. The website's labeling looks more accurate. We also only saw our server for ordering and getting the check. He never came to check on us. One other server/busser did check in only to find we had empty water glasses and apologized for letting them get empty. However they were never filled again. I had also ordered a different drink and never got it.

Hopefully they figure out the service issues soon, as I'd love to make this a regular spot.

Pros: Great food, Lots of options

Cons: Inattentive and forgetful staff
