If you’re not sure which Indian dishes you like, the lunch buffet is for you. I arrived at the very end of the lunch hour and they still made a basket of fresh bread and offered three excellent vegetarian entrees plus salad, veggie appetizers, and desserts. Prepare to loosen that belt buckle on the way back to your office.
Dinner is served with complimentary basket of papadums. Choose from over twelve vegetarian entrees and VERY good bread (even the plain naan is terrific). Only downside is that the plates are often cold resulting in fast-cooling food--a minor detraction.
Appetizers we’ve liked: chaat papri (crisps topped with chickpeas, potatoes and onion in a yogurt/tamarind sauce), samosas and pakoras. Two vegetarian soups, tomato and lentil, are offered hot and nicely seasoned, with the tomato being a little more spicy.
If you think all Indian veggies are mushy and taste alike, Famous India may change your mind. The potatoes and cauliflower in the Aloo Gobi held their shape and flavor and the okra in the Bhindi Masala still had a bit of crunch. The wonderfully smoky eggplant in the Baingan Bhartha had the surprise addition of peas, which were still round AND green. One of my hubby's favs is Dhum Aloo ($9.95), baby potatoes stuffed with chopped nuts and cheese served in a rich gravy. They also kindly made the Palak Paneer with potatoes instead of the usual cheese at my request.
They promise to soon offer the dosa listed on the menu--we look forward to trying their version of these giant “crepes” stuffed with a spiced potato mixture since they aren't available elsewhere in West Michigan.
(We always get them at Udupi Palace, one of our fav all-veg restaurants in Chicago.)
