Saravana Palace is a vegetarian restaurant, which I knew would cause deviation from my familiar Indian dish orders. When I think of Indian food, I conjure pictures of Chicken Tikka Masala, Vindaloo and Korma. After three years in London, I became spoiled by the ability to run out for a curry, at any time of the day or night, and find amazing Indian cuisine just around the corner. Since returning to the U.S. not many Indian restaurants have lived up to my expectations. So when I first entered Saravana Palace I was happy to see the place busy and full of clientèle of the same ethnicity as the food being served, a sure sign that something authentic was brewing.
