Unfortunately, due to the rainy weather, they weren't offering the buffet that day. The three of us opted to order a la carte and squeezed into a comfortable booth. While glancing at the menu, I noticed entire pages dedicated to dosas, biriyanis, and Indo-Chinese dishes. In hindsight, we probably should've gotten at least one dish from each section, but we weren't really in the mood for dosas or the Indo-Chinese entrees at the time. GARLIC NAAN - 3.49 The garlic naan is a must-order. Each order comes with four quarter pieces, and I honestly could've eaten the entire basket myself. It's topped with plenty of minced garlic and is flavorful enough to enjoy on its own. PANEER TIKKA MASALA - 14.99 The tikka masala leaned heavily on the creamy side and was much less tomato-forward than I prefer -- savory with very little tomato sweetness. There were a few small pieces of tomato, onion, and possibly peppers, along with the paneer. While the paneer was good, there weren't many pieces overall. I enjoyed the dish, but I would've preferred a more tomato-based curry. VIJAYAWADA CHICKEN BIRYANI - 15.99 Highly recommended by our trusted source and echoed by multiple Yelp reviews, this was easily the star of our meal. The rice was fragrant and packed with aromatics, and the chicken was cut very small, almost minced. It was incredibly flavorful and unapologetically spiced, unlike many Indian restaurants in the area that tone things down for the American palette. This biryani did not hold back. While I generally prefer bite-sized chicken for the texture, I can see how the finely chopped chicken absorbs the spice better and distributes the flavor more evenly throughout the rice. That said, I do wish there had been more chicken overall so every bite included some. GOAT KORMA - 17.99 This was a pretty standard, nutty, creamy korma. Unfortunately, most of the goat pieces were very bony, with some pieces being straight up bone. I felt a bit cheated since this is a pricier entree. My friend has a much higher spice tolerance palette than his wife and me, so I only had a few bites before returning to milder dishes. Overall, this is probably the most spice-forward Indian restaurant I've been to in this area, and it genuinely felt like all of my taste buds were waking up with every bite. I highly recommend the Vijayawada Chicken Biryani, especially if you've never had it before, as it's not something I see often at Indian restaurants. The flavors are phenomenal, and next time I'll be back for a lassi, a dosa, and one of their Indo-Chinese dishes.

Located on the busy Washtenaw Ave corridor, it's easy to find and is in a place with ample parking. The restaurant is simple, but the food and service is where this really shines. An experienced chef takes your order, cooks the food fresh, and delivers it to your table, all while also juggling takeout orders that come in. I went with Chicken Tikka Masala for my first visit. It's always a hit and this iteration came out beautifully. I went for the lowest spice level and it was flavorful without being too hot. Served with a side of seasoned basmati rice, it hit the spot. Portions were generous enough that I was able to take some leftovers to work the following day. This will be my new spot for Indian food, whether I'm dining in or carrying out!

Now the food -- honestly, everything we tried was spot on. We had Methi Malai Mutter Paneer and Veg Kadai, both were amazing in flavor and cooked perfectly.

The Gajar Halwa and Gulab Jamun were just amazing. Soft, fresh, and absolutely worth trying. Service was friendly and quick. Overall, a really good experience.

We walked in thinking it was a café, but it turned out to be a proper vegetarian restaurant. We came in without reading any reviews, so our expectations were neutral I ordered the Chikku shake and Dahi puri. My friend ordered Pav bhaji, Rava onion dosa, and a cold coco shake. My chikku shake and dahi puri were decent, nothing outstanding, but enjoyable. The Pav bhaji was just okay, but the pav wasn't fresh, which took away from the dish. The Rava onion dosa was the biggest letdown, it looked appetizing, but the taste didn't match. Even the accompaniments didn't pair well, which was surprising. The cold coco shake tasted more like vanilla ice cream with a light sprinkle of cocoa powder rather than a rich chocolate drink. Overall, the place has a nice atmosphere and is well maintained, but the food didn't live up to how good it looked. With better execution and fresher ingredients, it could be much better. As of now, it was a hit-or-miss experience.

For those who are hesitant to try a restaurant that serves only vegetarian dishes, don't be. The flavors of Indian cuisine are amazing, and the food will change your mind. Even though the atmosphere is a step up from a cafeteria, the food is good. This is why I will keep coming back. I had the Manchurian Gobi(Cauliflower) and Szechuan noodles. The Manchurian Gobi was good, but the amount of cauliflower was very disappointing. The Szechuan noodles were excellent. I couldn't get enough. Both entrees that I had to eat were Manchurian. In America, we have Chinese/ American food. This is India's version of Chinese/Indian food, called Manchurian. Of course, they have an encyclopedic menu of vegetarian items that I intend to try. Will I be returning? I believe my review is self-evident.
