Good, but limited options - Edit
This is an elegant, roomy Indian restaurant but with reasonable prices. Although, as other reviewers have noted, nothing is explicitly labeled as vegan, the waiter pointed out four main items that are vegan (note that most Indian food uses ghee, and is thus not vegan). Even so, there are far fewer vegan items here than there are items that use lamb or goat.
Read moreI had a vegan Baingan Bartha and a roti; both were good and filling. I nonetheless prefer restaurants in "Curry Hil"--a nearby enclave in Manhattan centered on Lexington Avenue between 26th and 29th Streets where they have loads of Indian restaurants--including vegetarian ones.

RavishingRavenous
I always struggle with Indian restaurants even fully vegetarian ones and ghee. Even when the menu says vegan. There is ghee!

Yes, it is important to double-check: when they say it is vegan, I ask again "there is no ghee, correct?" I do something similar for Thai places, where I always double-check about the fish sauce.

Vegan options not labeled on menu - Edit
The vegan options aren’t clearly labeled on the menu, but the staff is knowledgeable about veganism!

Excellent vegan options - Edit
Told the waiter we were vegan and he quickly guided us to Chana masala, Baingan Bartha and a vegan Dal. Super delicious and a LOT of food. Also got some samosas for appetizer. 👍

Got Hot if You Want - Edit
The restaurant has numerous vegan options and our waiter was more than happy to point them out. He even told us which of the standard dipping sauces (the green one) was not vegan so that we didn’t make a mistake. That said, we’d love to see vegan items clearly marked on the menu. We had the mulligatawny soup (exquisite), cucumber salad, chana masala, mixed vegetable curry, and chapati. We ordered the chana masala hot (options are mild, medium, and hot) and it did not disappoint.
