We started with a vegetarian Indian menu back in 1998 and now we are one of the 100% vegan restaurants in Chicago. We make authentic Indian recipes and all our dishes are available gluten-free, with some also being made with organic ingredients.
On weekdays, you can order from the à la carte menu.
Our popular all-you-can-eat vegan Indian buffet is available all day Saturday and Sunday.
Our Friday pizza nights keep you healthy while you indulge in a variety of vegan, gluten-free, and raw pizzas.

Cooking with Indian Masala

I went to the “ Masala” class with my brother-in-law, an accomplished cook. I am trying to improve my skills since having more time after retirement, and we both loved the class. We love Indian food, so why not learn how to make it at home!?
The teacher is an absolutely lovely, gentle, generous woman who let a beginner begin and whose enjoyment and knowledge of cooking her favorites shone through in the class. Right after I bought some okra and prepared it with her recipe to the delight of my family. And, of course, myself.
I hope a lot of folks will take advantage of this fantastic opportunity!

Love the teacher.
She spends too much time at start futzing about and taking attendance. Also keeps running back to kitchen instead of having everything ready to go.
But, she is a lovely well meaning zealous person and I did learn.
