Very helpful and friendly

Traveling for work and needed a vegan-friendly meal. This was highly rated on Google and Happy Cow. The restaurant staff were extremely helpful and described some of the options on their vegan menu (took the advice of other reviewers and asked for the vegan menu). I took their recommendation of Aloo Pathara and Gobi Manchurian. Warning: They do not ask how spicy you want your food. Mine started out on the hot side, but after a few tears and some healthy sweating, I got through it. And it was very good. Not like any other Indian restaurant I have been to. That’s not a bad thing. I would definitely try it again.

Incredible naan, whole vegan menu

Stumbled upon this place when looking for vegan & vegetarian food on the way to an event. Was super happy to find a very robust separate vegan menu. I ordered the vegan aloo gobi and I think it’s the best I’ve ever had. I don’t normally care anything about naan but theirs is SO GOOD and comes with the entree. If you get the chance, definitely go. They offer catering and if our meals were any indication, I bet they do a great job.

It’s no-frills, counter service and they call your number. Food is unfortunately served on styrofoam everything.

Pros: Naan, Flavor , Price

Cons: Styrofoam

Nice food but served me cheese

I picked up food from here, it was very nice except one of my items wasn't made vegan. On the receipt everything said vegan and the person taking my order and payment confirmed vegan multiple times. Turns out that at least one of my items contained dairy. It was hard to trust the others. I hope my refund for that item comes through.

Quick, Helpful, Very Tasty

There were a lot of items we were unfamiliar with, and the ladies behind the counter were willing to explain them, and make recommendations. They have a clearly labeled vegan menu when you ask at the counter, so that was nice! We tried the pani puri, and spinach dal! So delicious!

Pros: Several vegan options, clearly labeled, Quick service, Helpful workers

Cons: The outside looks a little sketchy, but that’s it

Authentic Indian: spicy AF

They have a separate vegan menu though though had to ask what each item was.. Ask for not spicy though my meal was level 9 spicy.. If you like authentic Indian this is the place.

Cons: Too spicy

Cheap and authentic!

Indian food is one of my favorite cuisines so I always like checking out new spots, this one has been on my radar awhile.

The staff was super nice and the cashier had some great recommendations. It’s a classic cafeteria style restaurant.

Prices weren’t bad either! With so much to pick from this definitely helped. I recommend adding paratha to try with any order, for just 2$ these breads are so delicious and filling.

Edit: had to come back! This time I got Aloo Chole, Dal Makhani and again the Pani Puri as it was my favorite

The Dal Makhani wasn’t the greatest, you can definitely find better out there or even make a great pot at home. It wasn’t just a bit bland and lifeless.

I got the Pani Puri again as it was sooo good and a good portion! This time the portion wasn’t as large but with the price I wasn’t mad, it hit the spot.

And last The Aloo Chole was the best!! It was a massive serving size for 4.50$ and so filling.

Added new photos and receipt!

Ask for the Vegan menu

Ask for the Vegan menu at the counter. Many varieties to choose from but no description, so it’s difficult to tell and decide what to get. I ended up googling each name to get an idea of each dish. We enjoyed the different curries (they’re pretty spicy) and the dosa (similar to crepe). The Vegan fried rice comes with Chinese style cauliflower.

Pros: Vegan menu, good options, Tasty

Cons: foam plates

Casual Indian fast food

The food was good and the staff was very helpful in identifying which items were vegan. They have a nice condiment bar with chutneys, pickles, chiles, etc. It is more of a fast food place and everything is served on plastic and styrofoam. The food was good but if I went back it would be for take-out.

Pros: Good Indian food, Lots of vegan options, Super cheap

Cons: Everything on plastic and styrofoam , No beer or wine

Loved it

They have a Vegan menu, ask for it at the register. Saw them on Happy Cow and gave them a try. Food was amazing - I ordered from the Vegan menu and my girlfriend ordered from their regular (vegetarian) menu - we both loved it!

Authentic Indian Fast Food

All my Indian friends have said I need to eat here, so finally I took the plunge. It is 100% vegetarian, but I was a little bit intimidated to ask for vegan food since I have had trouble eating vegan at Indian restaurants before. Online they do have a menu that specifies what dishes can be made vegan, but you still need to specify when you order that you are vegan. My meat-eating husband also likes this place. We would recommend the Chana Masala or Spinach Dal. The coconut chutney is also the best at the chutney bar. $15 for the two of us, and it's a lot of food so come hungry! Also, the location is kid friendly, but the food was a little too spicy for my kids.

Pros: Cheap, Large portions, Fast

Cons: Can be crowded on weekends
