Vegan options were few, so I had the rice and peas, brown dahl, and a cabbage dish. I found the brown dahl watery and over-salted, and the cabbage dish very greasy and way too hot. I kept having to drink water because my food was so spicy. Overall this restaurant has a nice ambiance (for example black galaxy granite in the floors and restrooms), but very mediocre food.
I have been a Vegas resident my whole life and a vegan for a little over 2 years and this is the only Indian food restaurant I would recommend other than India Oven in Las Vegas. The waitstaff is very professional and treats its regulars and new comers with respect. They will answer any questions you have and are willing to make changes to your menu item if you are vegan. They have the best pakora in the city hands down and the remodel makes for a nice place to take a date or client you are trying to impress.Check out the lunch buffet 11:30-2 everyday if you are new to Indian cuisine.
This is a great place to go for some vegetarian fare with a little spice. The menu features authentic meatless Indian dishes that are unique and high in flavor. The Dal soup is a lentil based soup with basil and other spices for a great warming treat. The menu is mostly vegetarian but there are a few meat dishes as well, so make sure to read the ingredients because if you are like me, most of the dishes are new to you. The Paneer Pakora is a unique appetizer of fried cottage cheese. Other starters include vegetable fritters and samosas. Entrees are Tandori specialties and kebabs, but what draws me here is the huge vegetarian entree selection. Even the mixed vegetables have herbs and spices to be delicious. This place is a food adventure and is great for vegetarians looking for something new.
For buffet food, this was very good. It's not the best Indian cuisine I've ever had, but it was still delicious and I've been back numerous times since my first visit. It only cost about 10 bucks. If you're unsure what dishes are vegan, ask. The staff there seem pretty knowledgeable about what goes into the food and are helpful.
They have a nice decor and nice music, the staff rushes you in for the Lunch Buffet, you ask WHICH ITEMS ARE VEGAN but you must explain that means NO DAIRY (like they never heard of such a thing?), ask at least 2 employees, and you'll get a different answer on the Dairy products, but they all agree its vegetarian (with some vegan items, bu the bread (flat tortila style) is said to contain milk, while others say not, some dishes have butter, while some say not. They also TAMBA restaurant on the Vegas Strip, and its the same, except I was sick for several days (I don't get sick, so I got something bad at TAMBA, Gandhis is Better (but risky)

Great Indian food! - Edit
A lot of vegan options that are clearly marked on the menu. And a few more that aren't listed. Even having been in India this was really good.

Hi archure, I found your review pretty helpful. After reading it, I'm not so sure if I want to roll the dice at this place.
