No longer Vegetation

Restaurant is no longer vegetarian and has very little vegan options. We were only able to get one dish and they had to verify that it was actually vegan because they weren't so unsure of what they had.

Updated from previous review on 2024-04-16

Pros: The one Vegan dish tasted alright

Cons: Dirty, Not Vegan or Vegetarian, Staff is ignorant of the menu.

Gone

This formerly vegetarian restaurant has been replaced with a new Indian chain restaurant. I submitted an update which should show up in the upcoming weeks.

Get the Dosa!

Tried this out and decided to go with the masala dosa as it was recommended by a friend. It was huge, the filling was incredible and the sauces were DELISH!
I highly recommend!

First time trying Indian food.

I really enjoyed the Chili fry and Garlic Naans. The spices was Awesome!! It was good to find something different that was enjoyable. Though this restaurant is far from my home, I will return for the chili fry. This seems to be the only Indian spot that serves them the way they do.

Good food

Food was really good.
1.Only sambhar is very very sour for us.
2. Sambhar bowl is not have a good base to put a big spoon into it. Big spoon even did not fit in small Chutney bowl.
3. Please do not put money besides very beautiful Lord Krishna idol. If for donation, put box with the name.

Thank you for serving only vegetarian delicious food. We will continue to come.

One of my favorite Indian restaurants

They offer all vegetarian and vegan dishes.
This is a southern Indian restaurant with dosa and idly

Amazing

So many options! Only problem is that there are not a lot of high protein options, but that's generally how it is with vegetarian Indian food.

Maybe read up about protein offered in Indian food that typical Americans are not knowledgeable about Lizzy (:

Fresh & Delicious authentic Indian

We sampled the vegan South Indian appetizers and we were impressed with the flavor and spice levels. When we mentioned we are vegan, they offered us the vegan menu. This made our devils easy! We ordered 5 of the curries and one South Indian lentil ball curry which was yummy but pretty spicy! Rotis & samosas are made vegan if requested

Pros: Lots of vegan options!, Authentic Indian food, Friendly service

Want flavor, convenience and economy?

Saw this by chance heading to a worksite.
Step in, grab a menu, see South Indian offerings.
Oh, yes please.
Idly were large, piping hot (turn them over so they don’t steam too soft) and pillowy.
Sambar… well, I’m getting some to take home next time.
Coconut and tomato chutneys were spot on.
Typically, I’m neutral on tomato chutney because it’s too reminiscent of sweet ketchup. Madras Cafè make one with spice and flavor.
Service is typical Denver hole in the wall. Lots up front and less as it gets check time.

What I observed in other dishes coming out: dosa are good sized and not greasy (Hyderabad House, looking at you). I heard the crisp crack as people started eating them.
The general kitchen smells were enticing.
I can’t wait to be at that location again.

The best Indian- no meat served!

It’s the best Indian restaurant around if you are vegan. Appreciatively, Neil

Delicious all veg

We were only in this area on a short visit and found this newly open all veg indian restaurant close by. We decided to dine in and enjoyed the modern lighting and decor. We were the only table, though they were doing quite the number of take out. When I started our order and inquired about what's vegan, the server got us a vegan menu to order from. So helpful. I ordered masala doasi, navratan korma, dal tadka, all was perfectly spiced to our liking. Such a treat to get a doasi too, it was huge and came with sambar and two sauces. Yum!

Pros: Tons of vegan options , Love me a good doasi, Good prices

Delicious!

The best Indian restaurant in Denver area!
I had misore masala dosai, which comes with sambar, she had a veggie entree with coconut sauce and mulligatawny. Everything was Delicious (Capital D)

The owner said there will be vegan menus available soon.

Pros: Friendly, Knowledgeable, Delicious
