"My friends and I visited this restaurant on a Saturday after a hike near Lake Tahoe. They were offering a buffet at the time. When I inquired about vegan options, a staff member kindly walked me through each dish that was vegan and even consulted with the chef for some he was unsure about. I was really impressed by his attention to detail! The majority of the dishes were delicious, with the samosas standing out as a highlight. The crust was perfectly flaky, not too hard, and the fillings were incredibly flavorful. Since it was a buffet, I ended up having about 5 samosas. The only downside was the roasted okra, which seemed to be overdone. Towards the end of our meal, the chef came out personally to speak with us and gather our feedback on the food. It turns out she runs the restaurant with her husband, who also works as a waiter. We had a fantastic conversation, and I made sure to mention the issue with the okra. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I would love to visit again next time we're in the Tahoe area."

I was tempted by the buffet at this restaurant, but ultimately decided to order gobi manchurian off the menu. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. We definitely plan on coming back.

The restaurant offers clearly indicated vegan choices, and can also modify some vegetarian dishes to be fully vegan. The dishes are packed with flavor, although they are quite spicy. The staff is friendly and accommodating. View menu

Except for a reasonable ambience, there's nothing much in this place that makes you feel like you entered a restaurant. The staff are rude and unprofessional. Food takes more than 45 minutes to be prepared. In fact the kitchen is so loud that you canhear everything being prepared. We ordered a pav bhaji instead we were served bagel bhaji. Tea was served in paper cups. Ithink these folks know that their service sucks hence they forcibly add a tip of 18%. Would never recommend this place.

we came on a Saturday after walking near the lake tahoe. they had buffet at the time. When I asked a worker about vegan options, he went through each of the dishes that were vegan, and confirmed with the cook for a few he was not safe. really appreciate his attention! most options were quite delicious, especially the samosas! her crust was tasty, not too hard, and the fillings were quite tasteful. Since it was buffet style, I got about 5 of them. there was only a court, roasted oma that seemed overdue. when our meal was almost finished, the chef came out to talk to us personally and get our feedback to eat. it leads the restaurant with its man who is one of the waiting staff. we had a great...
