I love vegan Indian food - especially dosa - and Desi Street Bytes clearly knows their way around a veg/vegan kitchen! They opened this week, and are currently offering a veg lunch Thali that they can make vegan upon request. I got the Thali while my husband tried a Masala Dosa.
The Thali changes every day, so check on FB/IG for the daily mix of items. Mine included two soups (Sambar and Rasam), a potato-tomato curry, a gourd dal, batsmati rice, an AMAZING chutney, a chickpea fritter, papad and poori. I was offered extra helpings of anything I liked - like a buffet, but more effective. And it was $9.99 for their opening week! I was so full from what I had that no extras were needed.
Everything was great - full of flavor, not too spicy and not greasy. The gourd dal was so interesting - clearly freshly made and not spicy, but with a nice mellow flavor. I've never had gourd dal before, but would get it again! The fritter may have been my favorite new find. Not quite a falafel, but headed in that general direction.
My husband enjoyed his Masala Dosa as well. It had a typical blend of potatoes, onions and spices but wasn't too greasy like some dosa can be. It came with Sambar (soup) and two chutneys.
Service was spot on - fast, friendly and accurate. The restaurant is clean and inviting, but a bit on the smaller side (probably about 12 booths/tables?). They are still getting settled in, so maybe they will add some atmospheric music, etc. I will definitely be back to explore the menu further! read more
