Veggie Dishes Lacking

by fayevalentine at Citysearch

The positive is that this cute, quiet Indian restaurant off-the-beaten-path (as far as downtown PA goes) is family-friendly and has decent service. The negative (and it's a big one) is the food. The vegetarian standards here are unfortunately lacking. The food tastes fresh, but is simply not well-seasoned. Aloo Ghobi is the only dish I've had here with any semblance of flavor. I've tried pretty much every veggie dish on the menu, hoping to find something palatable, but to no avail. My omnivorous friends tell me some of the chicken dishes are fine, but I cannot speak to that. You can do much better than this on the Peninsula.

• Pros: Easy Lytton Parking, Family Friendly, Decent Service
• Cons: Poorly seasoned food
