Lots of vegan options and great value for lunch!

We lucked out by visiting when the $10.99 lunch specials were available. The specials include generous servings of two dishes, plus a cup of delicious lentil soup, basmati rice, and vegan roti (or naan, for non-vegans). When we asked which dishes could be made vegan, the server quickly pointed out 10 dishes from the menu.

I had the Vegetable Coconut Curry and Aloo Cauliflower Ko Tarkari, and my husband had the Sag Aloo and Chana Masala. Everything was wonderful and made vegan at our request.

If we lived anywhere in or near Carlsbad, we would definitely be regulars here!

Pros: Lots of vegan choices, Food made fresh upon ordering, Helpful, friendly servers

great find

visited family and was craving indian. ordered aloo gobhi for myself, and bhindi masala for the husband - both smell and taste amazing. the owners are so kind, even gave us some free bread. we called ahead of time to check if what we were ordering was vegan, and they were very knowledgeable. fresh baked bread, too.

Pros: fresh baked bread, knowledgeable owners (on veganism), good vegan options

Cons: serves meat and dairy, kinda pricey ($14~/entree)

Excellent

Edit 2/2021:
Spend some definite changes to the menu and ingredients… Have them mark down the vegan items on the menu because the photo is not accurate anymore. The vegetable biryani totally changed, not included paneer & doesn’t have near the flavor it used to ..and my favorite, the bhuteko cauliflower, the sauce is totally different now 😥 samosas are not vegan. They have butter in them. Not nearly as good as before unfortunately.

I tried this place for the 1st time today. A friend ordered veggie samosas & I was blessed to have her share. Soooo good! The dipping sauces were excellent too. Looking at the reviews now I see there’s an extensive vegan menu!! I’ll definitely be back! Can’t wait to try more

Pros: Vegan options, Super yummy

Delicious vegan food!

Delicious food! They have a separate vegan menu (paper copy which you can request). We got the Vegetable Samosas, Himalaya Mixed Vegetables, Jeera Aloo, and Tandoori Roti. All very good! They offered mild, medium or spicy for the entrees. All of the staff were very friendly. I would give them 5 stars, but Happy Cow does not allow it since they are not a 100% vegan/vegetarian restaurant.

Awesome vegan selection

This place has tons of vegan options. We went in and the owner circled all of them for me on a paper menu. Now I can order vegan to go easily!

Authentic place

Very friendly. Wasn’t sure at first if they understood vegan but I am pretty sure it was all vegan what I ate.

Pros: Lunch buffet, many vegan options

Cons: Language barrier, but friendly

Amazing Vegan Dishes!!

Went here for my birthday, and I am so glad we did!! The owner, Jack, greeted us and showed us to our table. We told him we have never been there before, and that we were vegan. He said he had lots of vegan options, and he was not kidding!! He guided us through the menu and there were a lot of choices. My wife and I ordered about six different dishes and every single one of them were delicious!! I would tell you what we ordered, but most dishes I could not pronounce. The description of each item on the menu is very helpful. After dinner, he heard my wife say it was my birthday, since we could not have cake, he gave me a thank you card with well wishes for my birthday. We ordered our food medium heat, which was a little more heat than we expected, but VERY delicious. They offer mild heat also, in case you're not into all the heat. Sweet man. Outstanding food!! A hidden gem for us vegans!! Every bit of five stars, if only the app would let me!!!
*** UPDATE***
I was able to figure out what we ordered by their online menu...
