We ordered some apps (pani puri, pao bhaji, etc.) Everything was under seasoned. I ordered the onion uttapam and it came out undercooked.

The service was quite slow, concerning since it was just our party of four in the restaurant for a while. I wouldn't go here again.

We started off with the chicken steamed momos which were delicious! We also each got a mango lassi, which was truly the best i've ever had. I could have easily ordered 3 of them. We ordered the chicken vindaloo, goat curry, and garlic naan. The meals also came with white rice. Everything was super yummy and flavorful. The chicken was very moist and cooked perfectly. The naan paired perfectly with both meals as well. The owner was extremely friendly and generous. After chatting for a bit he brought out some rice pudding on the house. The food was so delicious I will definitely be back!!

Me & my best friend came to get some food from here after not eating yet for the day. I was very…read moresurprised that they did not have curry chicken, yet they had curry lamb and goat. I used their bathroom which was noticeably dirty and did not have any soap. When I asked if they had any, the guy quietly told me that they didn't have any & was working on getting some, that raised concerns on cleanliness. The food took a little long. When we got the food it was not as expected. The medium spice tikka masala's was unexpectedly sweet (not sure if that's common for their area in India). My best friend's meal also didn't come with rice but cost like $16 just for sausage looking chicken. I would not go back myself.

Walking through to the bathroom the place is clearly a mess and needs a deep cleaning. It is so dirty I would not ever go back. The food is not a draw either as it had no flavor or taste. Pass on this place unless you're desperate. If you are, wait until Layla's is back and go there instead.

Bloodroot is an amazing woman owned restaurant that is almost 48 years young…read more Nestled on the edge of the Brewster Cove, the views have always been my favorite part of our visit. We have been lucky enough to have been coming for over 40 years. Earlier this year, one of the founding owners passed away. Sadly, the restaurant is closing in December 2025. Despite yourself a favor and make a reservation now. You will have to wait in line to order, but you will be guaranteed a seat. Come prepared to do your part. Starting with picking up your meal and then by clearing your table when you are through. While dining, be sure to peek at the great collection of vintage pictures that cover the walls. There is so much history in this building. On this visit Mom and I ate well, as always and we left full. I had an amazing Bloodroot (vegetarian) burger and mom tried the "chicken" sandwich. Both came with salads, a pickle and kettle chips. We had an amazing last meal and shared a lot of sweet memories. If only they were closer, we would be here everyday.

Founded in 1977, Bloodroot is nearing its 50th anniversary. It also will be commemorating its…read morelegacy. For this historic restaurant that has created its own recipes both for its menu planning and for its business plan, 50 years is an enviable achievement that marks a milestone. Bloodroot began stirring feminism into food during an era when feminist cafés and bookstores sprang up all across North America. Bloodroot has outlasted them all. And through its four vegetarian cookbooks, Bloodroot has contributed to both the feminist and the vegetarian movements beyond Connecticut's borders. The restaurant has defied convention in many ways, even in its location on a dead-end street of a peaceful residential neighborhood. Its secluded site provides a spacious yard, ample parking, and a waterfront view. Picnic tables in the yard and patio foretell of informal and leisurely dining. Indoors, this historic landmark looks like a museum. The olden furniture may have been sourced from antique shops. Tapestries hang from the rafters. Chandeliers simulate candlelight. An entire wall is decorated with dozens of framed black-and-white vintage photos of females, all looking like the faded portraits of your great-grandmas. Bloodroot is all about Mom. The food, "like mother used to make," is akin to grandma's and mom's home cooking. Not haute cuisine, but not crunchy-granola health foods either. To my disappointment, white flour, white sugar, and white rice rule the day. The mostly conventional fare with an ethnic flair simply omits the meat. Until ten years ago, Bloodroot was stuck in the last century, still clinging to cow's milk products on its menu, thereby supporting a dairy industry that cruelly exploits the females of the species. This feminist collective's transition into veganism was long overdue. I have dined at Bloodroot over thirty times in the past 40-years, during which the building and décor have little changed. Historic indeed. Its menu, however, changes both seasonally and almost daily depending upon what produce is available. On some occasions, I have been treated to memorable meals that rival even the most expensive vegan restaurants of Manhattan. But sometimes the food did not rise above the level of my own home cooking, so I was better off staying home. You just need to choose wisely. One change in décor has occurred in its adjoining bookstore. In the age of Amazon, it has morphed into more of a reading library with comfy couches that encourage you to browse through the books. On one table and one shelf, some used books, mostly pertaining to the subjects of feminism or vegetarianism, can indeed be purchased, but that selection is small compared to the other shelves crowded with books intended only for perusal. While the three earlier Bloodroot cookbooks are out of print, its current volume is in print and so offered for sale. Another change. In the past, you were usually greeted by Selma Miriam, who cofounded Bloodroot with her business and life partner, Noel Furie. But Selma won't be greeting us anymore. She died last February at age 89. Tributes and obits filled Connecticut news media, and she was accorded a lengthy obituary in The New York Times. I would be remiss if not sharing an ill-fated personal anecdote. Under the guise of required membership to some obscure historical society, this feminist collective used to reserve one night a week for admission to women only. On one such members-only night in 1988, a luminary of the animal rights movement and I had arrived right after broadcasting his animal rights talk show on WPKN-FM on which we announced we were heading to Bloodroot right after the show, essentially promoting the restaurant on the noncommercial radio station. Selma knew us both, but cordially turned us away. Despite our begging, she refused to serve us even outside and out of sight. I felt like a Black in Jim Crow South denied a seat at the lunch counter. While I don't recall the woman after whom the historical society was named, it should have been called, The Jim Crow Historical Society. Presently filling roles both at the front and the back of the house, Noel (in my photo, depicted standing) is one busy woman. And Bloodroot is beginning a new chapter in its CookBook of Life. In case you're wondering about the meaning of its sanguinary name that may seem contradictory for a vegetarian restaurant, the bloodroot is a wildflower native to New England whose roots sprout up all around it with flowering shoots. But this iconic Bloodroot in Bridgeport stands alone.

I placed an order for one curry dish, and chicken wings, and waited 45 mins before getting my food. They did have a slew of delivery orders coming in, which is a good thing, but maybe more staff needs to be hired. There were only two cooks working. The curry dish was good, but the wings were so spicy (and I love spicy) I was shocked because I didn't order them extra spicy or anything. Unfortunately the level of spice was so high I couldn't even taste the other food and tell whether I liked it or not lol. I will be back to try the Mexican half of the menu, and maybe sit outside in the summer. Hopefully these are kinks that can be worked out.

Gourmet United is at once a catering and meal delivery service, and a takeout restaurant. The menu is one of Indian and Mexican food - you can either order online or in person, though it seemed they had more items on the in-store menu that weren't available online. We had: - Vegetable curry bowl with naan - it was piping hot and the flavor was good - Butter chicken flatbread - not too much chicken but very cheesy - Cold brew coffee - Masala milk chai. Drinks are premade and not coffee shop quality, but aren't terrible either We like it hot hot hot! So they gave us a side of legit hot minced peppers and an Indian hot sauce too. There's covered outdoor seating. A solid option if you're looking for something quick and casual in the area, or are visiting the attraction farm.
