| - One Word Summary: Bland.
A simple menu of quick, healthy, cheapish Indian served in a clean, modern space sounds like a no-brainer. Unfortunately, Veda doesn't come through in the taste department. They are the Indian equivalent of all the Southeast Asian fusion restaurants that put plenty of energy into having a cool name, modern decor, and polished image but don't worry about unimportant details like the quality of their food.
For $9 (tax included) I got the Tiffin Combo which consisted of basmati rice, chana masala, saag paneer, and a piece of naan. Both the chana masala and saag paneer were bland and what flavour they did have was all wrong. The chickpeas in the chana masala were undercooked and, as a result, not nearly tender enough. I liked the naan but it was more like a pita than naan.
Veda pitches themselves as a healthy alternative to most Indian food. To their credit I will say that the food did seem a little lighter on the oil and cream than a lot of Indian places. Also, the service was efficient and friendly. But, unless they up their game significantly, I don't see any reason to waste your time on this watered down Indian food.
