Urban Turban is one of those restaurants where the owner actually listens to customer feedback and suggestions and implements changes right away.
I only had the Vada Pav at this place and I wish I had a more elaborate dinner or lunch. My first impression of this trendy Indian restaurant is of their urban decor with Indian aesthetic. There is an auto rickshaw parked near the main entrance and a huge bar right behind it. The service is very friendly and the Vada Pav tasted authentic.
Mr. Bhushan, the owner of the restaurant, is an amazing listener. I just wanted to talk to him briefly about clearly distinguishing vegan food items on the menu and right away he sat me down and showed me the yet-to-be-released new menu with vegan, vegetarian, gluten free options. When I told him I am visiting Vegas as part of my documentary on Veganism, he was interested in learning more about me and my interest in the topic. I advised him on substituting butter with Earth Balance "Butter" because of its low calorie, no cholesterol and good fat properties, he immediately called his chef for taking note of my suggestions. We ended up talking for almost an hour about using meat and dairy alternatives simply because they are healthier, environmentally friendly and not to mention save lives of animals who don't deserve to die to feed our bellies. Customers are becoming more aware of the health risks and cruelty behind meat and dairy as well and almost all the restaurants in Vegas now have several vegan/vegetarian items on their menu.
Urban Turban will be my go to place on my next visit to Vegas. You can go to Sin City and still not commit any sins.
