Indian food with lunch buffet
Indian restaurant with lunch buffet and also Indo-Chinese dishes that have recently become popular in India (like veg. manchurian). Buffet is not entirely vegan-friendly as most of the vegetarian dishes have cream pre-mixed.

Kaarma has some great vegetarian dishes which they will happily make vegan for you (just specify "no cream or dairy"). If you want bread, order "roti" which is completely vegan; "naan" uses dairy products. Kaarma uses fresh ingredients and the dishes are not as oily and heavy as other North Indian restaurants. Try the 'mushroom muttar (peas)' or the "Bombay aloo (potatoes)" or 'channa' (chickpeas) dish. They also have Indo-Chinese dishes, which is unusual and nice to see. Sadly, they don't have any south Indian food.
Portions are large and prices are low. The only complaint that I have is if you're vegan, you can only go for dinner, because for lunch Kaarma only serves buffet, and all the dishes have cream pre-mixed. They only have the buffet on weekends, so vegans are out-of-luck.
