Vegetarian haven next to SNU - Edit
Otsal was a much needed discovery in an area packed with meat-centered restaurants we would never consider visiting. The place gives you a fully Indian experience, and has a special vegetarian menu, just as advertised here. As a vegan I was burnt a little, because I ordered some dishes that contained cheese without knowing and ended up passing them to my vegetarian companion. I encourage you to learn from my silly spontaneity and make sure you verify your choice doesn't contain any cream, milk or cheese. Most dishes, saffron rice and the garlic bread we ordered were very tasty, The tomato soup wasn't, though. In the end of the meal we were given two cups of chai masala (with milk...) on the house.
My partner found the dishes way too spicy for his taste, so if that's an issue for you, make sure you let them know when ordering.
And one last tip: The vegetarian menu doesn't let you know what each dish contains, so make sure you google it first. I posted a picture of the menu in the images section so you could do some homework before your arrival :)
Pros: Lots of vegetarian dishes, friendly staff, affordable, has take out service
Cons: The vegetarian menu isn't vegan, The veg menu doesn't specify contents of dishes, spicy dishes -- beware!
