The Clay Oven - Indianapolis

At least 1/3 if the vegetarian options were listed as vegan, probably more. The dish I had (mushrooms and broccoli dish) was very well seasoned and delicious. I had roti on the side after the server confirmed that it was vegan as well. There was a buffet (I was there at lunch time) but I ordered off the menu, not being familiar enough with Indian food to identify what might be vegan from the buffet.

We ordered the channa saag and the sweet garden, and both dishes were excellent. I was particularly impressed with the channa saag. Our pickup included rice and mint chutney, which was a nice touch. I also appreciated that they don't use Styrofoam; that's fantastic! Plus, there was plenty of parking available!

The area south of Indy/Greenwood has a lot of chain restaurants that mostly serve meat and dairy, making it not very friendly for vegans. However, there’s this charming little family-owned restaurant that offers delicious Indian cuisine with plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. They cater to a wide range of diets, and the prices are reasonable. The food is fantastic, and you definitely won't regret dining here!

I highly recommend the lunch buffet. The vegan options are clearly labeled, which is very helpful. This place is a favorite of mine, and I suggest trying everything!

It was very tasty and the service was very good.
