New Quick Lunch Spot

I was excited to try this place on my lunch break as vegan options in the area can get a little tiresome. The menu and buffet bar are clearly labeled as to what is vegan/vegetarian and you can serve yourself and check out quickly. Food is a good price for the portions, unlike some other serve-yourself buffets, and I walked out with a full lunch for under $10. Not stellar Indian food, but the flavors are good enough. The food from the buffet was a little cold but the vegan naan was nice and hot and quite delicious, it actually really pulled the meal together. Inside seating is small and unremarkable, but in nicer weather you can sit nearby on Jefferson's campus or in Washington Square Park.

Pros: quick and easy, budget-friendly buffet, VEGAN NAAN!!

Cons: buffet food slightly cold, unremarkable interior

Don't Bother

My wife and I ate lunch here on a Saturday afternoon. In all honesty, and I hate to trash a place, but it was without a doubt the worst meal I've ever had at a restaurant. I had the buffet, my wife ordered off of the menu. After she ordered, the waiter went to the buffet, scooped out her meal, took it in the back to microwave it, and brought it out to our table. The so-called vegan 'naan' was straight out of a package and did not even resemble naan. Cold, disgusting food. Sorry, but it's true.

Pros: Vegan options are clearly marked

Cons: Cold Food, Disgusting Food

Mumbai Bistro, Vegan Indian (labelled) in Philly!

It is so easy to eat at Mumbai Bistro as a vegan, everything is labelled, so you don't have to ask what has dairy/ghee/etc.! I really enjoy the vegan dal, but the buffet rotates daily (so check the menu before you go). You can also get a la carte items. I aways grab a vegan samosa and vegan naan! The interior has only a few tables, but you can eat around the Jefferson University campus if it is a nice day. Takeout/delivery is recommended.

Pros: Excellent food, Cheap, Vegan selection

Cons: Small storefront, limited seating
