Great vegetarian cooking

by manchery at Citysearch

This is an ideal place to try out great Western and Southern Indian vegetarian cooking. Their buffet is very good (only on Sat and Sun) and their vegetarian thalis offer the best value. Everything is freshly made and the owner is present all the time to ensure that things go smoothly. This might be the only place on Devon to try Gujarathi food (Western India). The South Indian dishes like dosais are good, although the chutneys and sambhars can be improved. They offer items that are different from the standard fare (make that Punjabi) that passes off as Indian food!! Try their pakoras, cabbage and mini uttapams and of course their thalis!

• Pros: Gujarathi food, Clean and neat, Good ambiance
• Cons: No Parking

Purple walls, great food

by boris_blak at Citysearch

Great Indian food buffet at a good price. Although if you have a couple of mango lassies to deal with all the curry, the price goes up pretty quickly. Still less than $15 for a great Indian feast is still a deal. They will bring you piping hot sizzling Tandori chicken right to your table if you so desire. Also a great selection of vegetarian dishes and many desserts, if you can stand this very sweet faire.

Inside the walls are a garish purple. Not very appetizing, but certainly amusing. Parking might be tough in this crowded neighborhood.

• Pros: Great Food, Low cost, Purple walls
• Cons: Purple walls, tough parking
