Four Diets, Every Day

North Indian cooking is vegetarian at its root, so most of this is not a special menu. It is just how the food is made. Tell your server what you need and the kitchen adjusts.

Vegetarian

About a third of the menu is naturally vegetarian, with no substitutions needed. Paneer, lentils, chickpeas, spinach, okra, cauliflower, mushrooms and peas all get their own dish.

Vegan

Most curries can be made vegan by leaving out the ghee and cream. Say the word when you order and the kitchen will cook it that way from the start, not scrape it off after.

Gluten-Free

Most of our curries are naturally gluten-free. Choose basmati rice instead of naan and let us know about the allergy so the kitchen keeps your plate separate.

Jain-Friendly

No onion, no garlic, no root vegetables. We cook Jain plates to order and we do it properly, which is rare in Seattle. Please mention it when you order so we can plan the pan.
