"Have passed by OM a few times as I work nearby and always noticed it says 'Veg Vegan ' on the facade. Decided to give it a try yesterday as I was really in the mood for Indian. The review below mine says nothing was marked as vegan but I can confirm that things that can be made vegan are marked with a 'V ' (I think this is a recent change as I do remember looking at their online menu a few months ago and being confused as to what was vegan and not). The guy working the register also repeated back to me 'vegan ' when confirming my order so I 'm putting faith in their kitchen that it was made vegan. Regardless, I think everything is at least vegetarian as I saw no meat/fish on their menu at all. Ultimately I ordered the chickpea chana masala and an order of the 'masala fries '. The chana masala was fantastic I ordered it mild (they asked how spicy I wanted it), and for anyone who is really intolerant of heat it would be too much but was spot on for my taste. Had good deep flavor and a really good proportion of sauce to chickpeas I 've been to some places where they load up on the sauce and skimp on the protein. I wanted a starch to go with it and probably should have ordered roti (there was no vegan version of naan offered), but was curious about the fries. Since I got it to go what it was was french fries with some different toppings in containers a couple types of chutneys, and some chopped tomato/onion/cilantro mix. I think the idea was to top the fries with the sauces and veggies, but I just dipped and it was good for what it was.. but definitely an americanized dish. It was really busy (about 1pm on a Saturday), but the wait wasn 't bad about 15 20 mins, and they had a guy walking around giving samples of non dairy (coconut milk) thai iced tea. They also had a full pastry case with some things marked vegan."
