Vegetarian Indian Restaurant Sunnyvale – Authentic Meatless Classics
Our kitchen on N Mary Ave specializes in the rich, earthy flavors of Punjab. We prioritize fresh produce and house-ground spices to ensure every vegetable dish retains its texture and nutritional integrity.
- Daal Makhani: A labor of love involving black lentils and kidney beans slow-cooked for hours to achieve a natural, creamy thickness.
- Bhindi Masala: Fresh okra sautéed with onions, tomatoes, and a precise blend of dry spices to ensure it stays crisp and flavorful.
- Baingan Bharta: Roasted eggplant mashed and cooked with peas and spices, offering a smoky profile that is a favorite for vegan diners.
- Paneer Tikka Masala: For those who love dairy-based richness, our grilled paneer cubes in a tomato-cream gravy are a top-rated comfort food.
