We like eating at this vegetarian (and vegan) Indian restaurant. There’s always a range of dishes that you are not going to find elsewhere in the area. And a firm favourite is not a single dish but the thalis that are only on offer on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. A complete meal, from starters through to dessert, served in small metal dishes, on a metal tray, which works as your plate. We don’t order it every visit, so don’t get bored with the fact the dishes don’t change
So, to start, there was a deep fried ball of battered mashed potato (bateta vada) and a bhaji, mainly onion but deeply coloured with perhaps beetroot. They go well with the little dishes of raita and chopped salad. Moving on to the main courses, there’s an excellent dahl, a creamy but well spiced paneer curry and, from the Gujarati and Rajasthani section of the main menu, a potato and pea curry (vatana bateta). You don’t go short of carbs here. There’s a crisp papad, roti and rice, of course. For dessert, a single ball of gulab jamun, in a very sweet syrup. You are not going away hungry from dinner.
