| - My first time here was on a Saturday afternoon and it was fairly empty. There was a lunch buffet, but they also allowed us to order from the menu.
Because it was my first time, I went for the buffet so I could taste several items to see what I did and did not like. I had some very tasty dishes (apologies for not knowing the names of what I got; some items were marked, others were not. Then it all got mushed together on my plate, so..), and the owner was very friendly and helpful. He pointed out everything that was vegan-friendly, which was most of the buffet. I think only 1 or 2 things were non-vegan (but vegetarian). He did the same thing with the sauces, so I wouldn't pick out anything with dairy in it. Then he gave me suggestions on items to mix for a yummy dipping sauce for the dosa, which comes with the buffet. Very nice!
My DD (a non-veg*n) wanted Aloo Saag. It's a spinach and potato dish which we were accustom to eating at our fav Indian restaurant in St. Louis. It was not on the menu here but they agreed to make it without any thought or hesitation. DD loved it!
We returned on Mother's Day and we both ordered Aloo Saag. DD got the regular version and I ordered the vegan version. (FYI - If you want to try it vegan you should specifically ask because this dish is made with cream/dairy unless you request it vegan.) It was so delicious! Perfectly spiced and excellently executed for a non-listed menu item. I got Poori (vegan deep-fried bread), which tasted great with my Aloo Saag. DD got naan, which she loved as well. The owner did seem a little peeved this time that we didn't eat off of the buffet, but being that we got what we wanted AND it was delicious, I won't hold that against him.
My only concern is that I don't know how much I paid for everything because there was no detailed receipt. I spent $32 and some change for our 2 entrees + 2 orders of breads (poori & naan); we had water. On my first visit we paid $9 for DD's Aloo Saag. The breads are @ $3.99 each, so I feel like I was over-charged for something. Next time, I'll be sure to get a breakdown of everything.
Delicious, flavorful food. Clean restaurant and restrooms. Attentive, helpful, and friendly staff and owner. I will go back again.
(Re directions: My iPhone map had me going in circles. If you come from the 101 and are traveling on Warner, it will be in that strip mall to your right, before you pass the Dobson intersection.)
