Is anything vegan or can be made vegan(no dairy/eggs)?

There are a ton of vegan options! Just ask them, and if a vegetarian dish isn't already vegan, they can accommodate you.

Best coffe with pastries?

If you're looking for the best coffee and pastries in Encinitas I'd say check out Pannikin Coffee and Tea. They fresh roast on site and have an amazing selection of pastries.

When I go to a new restraint, I always ask their standards and recommendations. I like spicy but I have learned that each cultural food on the spicy level can be 180 different. We ordered two dishes: vg korma no spicy and chicken choila spicy level 4, which was recommended by their server. This place has good amounts of vegetarians options. My partner opted for vegetable korma, which is slightly sweet but the food is flavorful for us. I am not a vegetarian but I definitely like this dish. Chicken choila is so powering, flavorful, and tasty. I am not a fan of chicken breast but the chef did an amazing job on keeping the meat juicy not dry. It has a lot species and ginger in this dish. The chef I believe came out from the kitchen talking to us at the end. He explained this dish is a modified. The original from Nepel is fire roasted buffalo meat (If I dont remember wrong) and is very spicy. I really appreciate he explained it. The portion is very generous. I ate half of the dish and kept another half for the next meal. The brown rice! Oh my...the rice is not soggy and it's legit not boxed frozen rice to me. I had been to other asian restaurants that the rice wasn't cooked good or its frozen rice. I recommend to give a try :) I am a newbie of Indian/ Himalayan food.

It does say this on the menu, but we just didn't pay attention. We'll probably go for the boneless lamb dishes next time. We also had the Achari Chicken, which was tasty. Both were enough to take a small amount home, which we appreciated. Be sure to order the coconut nan, it was incredible!! Service was friendly and well-paced. They use beautifully decorated metal serving bowls which was a nice touch. Family-owned, great service, we'll definitely be back to try the lunch specials!

With inflation driving up prices at most places, it's rare to find such a great deal. We even joked that it might cost about the same just to buy the ingredients ourselves and cook from scratch at home. What impressed us most about the lunch special was that we could choose two entrées instead of just one. It gave us a great variety to enjoy, which was a really nice touch. The naan was thin and freshly made--probably the best naan I've ever had. My go-to Indian dish is tikka masala, and this one was done really well. I'm pretty picky about it since I order it all the time, but this restaurant definitely passed my test--it was excellent. The waiter was very friendly--he might even be the owner. We'll definitely be back to try their famous mango lassi.

I'm no expert but this place appears to be a bit of a fusion restaurant. The menu has options similar to typical Indian food such as butter chicken, but then it also has items such as a beef kebab! And the beef kebab did not have the Greek flavors so that you normally expect, so it was very interesting indeed! The reason I say it seems like a fusion place is because they also serve burgers! Anyways, I'm so glad I tried this place because I have found another place that has AMAZING CHAI. I love good quality chai, and many places serve bad chai that has not much quality of flavor. But the chai at Casa Lahori is amazing! It tastes homemade, and they even serve it to you in a beautiful tea cup. I will definitely return just for the chai.
