Indian, Soul Food

Indian food and soul food, together at last.

Ready-made food, so it's really quick. This used to be a soul food restaurant, and then some Indian guy bought it, and he made it into a combination Indian/soul food place. For vegans, there's samosas, chana masala, and some other stuff. The people there know all about veganism, usually, and they don't use ghee, unlike most Indian restaurants, so it's a lot more convenient than most Indian restaurants. Really not much for the vegan, or even the vegetarian, from the soul food side of things.

rajun cajun , one of my favorite eats in hyde park- just ask them what's vegan, 'cause they like to put cheese in the veggie dishes. i recommend the cabbage(sambharo ) and the cauliflower(gobi mutter) and the eggplant(alu bengan )- hell all the vegan stuff is damn good, but some a little more spicy that others- i can't really say i'm feeling the parotha tho'- its dry- i never get the veggie dinner.

Cheap. Fast. Tasty.

Get the Vegetarian Combo Meal - it's got good variety and it's a good deal.

The Vegetarian Combo Meal is massive. The two side vegetables that you get are enough food for a meal on their own, and that's not counting the flatbread, samosa and basmati rice. Another surprise: the sweet potato dish, which is covered by a cinnamon sauce (which I would ordinarily think wouldn't be vegan) is dairy-free. This place is a serious bargain and the people who work there are very understanding of vegan concerns.

This place is dirt cheap and delicious. The Indian vegetarian combo is only $6.50 and includes a samosa, flatbread, two vegetable dishes, and rice. Most of the vegetarian items are vegan, and the people who work there always know exactly what's in each dish. The potatoes are the absolute best.
