Needs More Vegan Items

The concept of an Indian fusion burrito Chipotle style is everything in my books. We started with the sushi burrito and now we are incorporating delicious Indian spices and flavors into portable goodness as well.

Sadly for those that follow a vegan diet like myself, there's a lot less than I thought they could offer considering Indian cuisine is so heavily plant-based on its own. The team was able to accommodate me but here's the lowdown if you do not consume dairy:

NONE of the fillings are vegan friendly. I was really hoping the saag would be vegan but they incorporate dairy (ghee) into the mixture. Your best bet is to order extra of their chickpea curry and potato onion fillings, which is exactly what I did on top of my salad bowl, and added extra veggies on top. Not all of the chutneys are vegan friendly but they had a couple that I also added.

I did enjoy my salad bowl overall and had lots of leftovers for later. The chickpea curry was great and getting an extra portion of that in lieu of a main filling was perfectly suitable.

I appreciate the staff there immensely for helping me build a vegan friendly meal. I wish more of their items were clearly marked or that they had used a non-dairy milk or creamer for the saag instead. Vegetarians will be okay but definitely be careful if you do not consume dairy.

Just like Chipotle, don't forget to ask for a baked roti on the side. It honestly felt and tasted just like a wheat tortilla but maybe it's harder to tell the difference than I thought?

Hopefully they'll consider adding more vegan friendly mains to their menu as I'm sure others would appreciate it.

Pros: Vegetarian options are a plenty

Cons: Very limited vegan friendly options and sides
