Rude server, there were 6 people total in the restaurant and it took over an hour to get our food. Flies and dust everywhere. Staff wore dirty tshirts. We wouldn't go back even if the food was free.

This was our first time at The Vegetarian, so we were somewhat skeptical about what to expect since the place is so small and there were no other customers when we arrived at what we considered to be dinner time. However, we were warmly greeted by the owner and made to feel quite welcome. Since we were unfamiliar with the menu, we asked (Ashok) for suggestions. We decided on the Vegetarian Samosa appetizer, and our entrees were the Avial and Eggplant Marsala, along with Basmati rice and Garlic Naan bread After waiting just about 10 minutes, our Samosa’s were served along with 2 sauces and they were quite delicious. Then came our entrees. EVERYTHING WAS AWESOME! Flavorful, fresh and delicious. We were very happy with our meal, so WE’LL DEFINITELY. BE BACK. It was well worth the 45 minute drive. Thank you Ashok and Teresinha.

I love Indian food and I'm vegetarian so t was excited to see this as an option while in town for the day. I called in small a take out order consisting of vegetable pakora and paneer pakora. They were almost inedible. The paneer was super dry and kind of greasy not like any paneer I have had before. The vegetable pakora was two round slices of potato and some tiny hunks of onion and two balls of idk what it seemed kind of like a hush puppy but no discernable vegetables. The batter on both was very heavy handed. The restaurant seemed very dirty and the man who made my food and rung it up stroked his beard no stop while ringing me up.

Absolutely delicious. 10/10. Highly recommend. If you ask for spicy, they actually give you spicy; hard to get that in the Midwest sometimes. We'll be back!

I loved the menu and how clearly items were marked. I requested a ‘to go’ box with my meal and it was served in the to go containers and I was given plastic utensils. I could tell the owner cleans but my table and chair were both sticky - maybe from the cleaner. My lunch size portion was over $16 and very small. I wished more veggies for 16 and less sauce. It tasted fine.

I'm not familiar with Indian food. The owner helped me pick out an appetizer & entree. He even borrowed me his glasses so I could look at the menu! Both dishes were incredible! Great flavor! The rice it came with, spectacular! Portions were large. I will diffenately be back to try more dishes. I highly recommend!

The Vegetarian is a mom & pop, hole in the wall totally worth visiting. The couple who own the joint are charming and lovely and lively, and they’re running their business in the way that works best for them. The food was served quickly and it was outstanding, every bite exploding with flavor. The food will be served with plastic silverware, paper plates, in takeout containers. Their focus is outstanding food, not doing dishes or fancy renovations. I hope this restaurant is around for years to come, and if I lived in the area I’d be there more often than I’m willing to admit. I can’t wait to get back as I have plans to order my way through the menu as quickly as possible. If I could cook like Ashok I would be vegetarian - his food changed my life. We ordered the taster sampler, kadahi mushroom mutter, garlic naan and masala chai.
