curry on my wayward tongue, there'll be peace when you are naan

happy to find an all vegetarian indian restaurant 🌱 we did takeaway and ordered a few things to try: medhu vadai, dragon mushroom, chana masala, and dosa. we didn't receive any rice; maybe they just forgot or we missed something? either way, everything was flavorful and delicious. i thought the spice level was good (but i like spicy). I'll be back to try more dishes

Pros: clearly marked vegan options, dosa, masala

Cons: no rice?

Make Your Own Dosa

This South Indian restaurant is some of the best that I've had since living in New York. I came on a day that they were having a "banana leaf feast" which consisted of being served a variety of dishes using a banana leaf as a plate. Servers made their way around the restaurant serving food onto the banana leaves from stainless steel buckets. I asked if the food in the feast was vegan and unfortunately it was not. I was disappointed, however they allowed me to sit and order off of the normal menu even though I was not participating in the feast.

I ordered a moong dal dosa filled with masala potatoes and some mysore rasam soup. The dosa was great, but be aware that only three of the four chutneys are vegan. The soup was quite spicy. The menu has vegan options clearly marked.

Pros: Make your own dosa menu, Clearly labeled vegan options

Cons: Banana leaf feast has no vegan options
