Pure vegetarian, all-you-can-eat Indian buffet restaurant on Chapel Market just a short walk from [[Angel Station]]. As of December 2008, the price is £3.95 for all you can eat from the buffet. |

As of July 2014, the price is £6 for all you can eat from the buffet. When you arrive, you're seated and given some cutlery, and then you can just help yourself. It's completely self-service, including the drinks, so you take what you want directly from the large refrigerated unit rather than ordering from a waiter. When you're finished, you pay at the till on the way out. |
According to a conversation [[Kake]] had with a staff member in April 2007, everything is vegan apart from one yoghurt dish; indeed, they have a sign on the wall inside stating that they are "Heaven for vegans". I also spoke to a chap outside who thoroughly recommended it and told me that he'd been eating there for ten years. |

[[lizw]] visited in September 2011. I found the staff friendly, helpful and efficient. I was eating alone, and found it a very comfortable place in which to do that. I really appreciated that brown rice was available, which is rare in London (my digestive system balks at white.) |
Comment added by [[claud]]: As a student living in halls nearby I have taken advantage of this buffet on two occasions. The quality of the food is not impressive but certainly value for money, but since having been to bhelpuri houses in India I cannot stomach the thought of returning. Should be tried once, or twice if you didn't have enough time to peruse the signs on your first time. (Especially the one in the basement exclaiming, "Vegetarian food can be really ORGASMIC!!!") |

The food on offer during my visit consisted of two different kinds of coleslaw; various sauces; various fried nibbles and bhajis; poppadoms and plain naan; brown, white and pilao rice; dal; and three types of veggie curry - one with potatoes and peas, one with what I think was paneer, and one with beans and other veg. I ate the spicy coleslaw (nice), brown rice (as you'd expect), bean-based curry (okay) and dal (absolutely delicious - I had a second helping). I also had one of the Whole Earth sparkling juice drinks, which was £1.90 (clearly the drinks are where they actually make their money.) |

It was a no-frills, but pleasant experience, ideal for a quick and reasonably healthy veggie meal on the way to something else. The price felt like decent value and I will definitely be eating here again. |

[[Bec]] visited in July 2014 and got the overall impression of "cheap and cheerful". The buffet included three different kinds of rice, lots of veg curry, dal, salad bar, and fried stuff. |
