All-veg North and South Indian

The Vegetarian offers both North and South Indian cuisine, with many vegan options. All of the vegan items are clearly marked on the menu, and the breads, though not marked vegan, can be made vegan on request.

On weekends, they offer a lunch buffet from 11-2.

*Update: I'd agree with other reviewers that the food has become very heavy on the oil. I definitely don't enjoy that. I still like their dosa though.*

The food here is the best Indian food I've had in Minneapolis. I've enjoyed the eggplant masala a few times, and tonight had the aloo gobi. It was creamy with a sweet note that I really enjoyed. We also ordered the onion chili uthappam, which was delicious, although the coconut chutney is not to my liking (plus it tasted like yogurt which scared me off.) I also like the vegetable pakora, but found the idli and vada combo a little too bland/heavy. The masala dosa was satisfactory.
The service here is fairly prompt and very friendly. As mentioned in another review, it is very quiet. I greatly enjoyed that the entire restaurant is vegetarian/vegan and that at least half of the options are vegan. Knowing that there isn't any meat cooked on any of the frying pans makes me feel at home!
Added bonus: the restaurant is draped in bright orange fabric. I'd take it home with me to make curtains if I could.

Horrible experience - bad food, dirty restaurant. Stale nauseating order permeated our clothing and hair. Indigestion all night - I think the food was several days old, and had been reheated from their steam table. Ugh. When we got home we washed all our clothing, and took showers. Worst restaurant I've ever been to.
