House Of India - Schererville

I went looking for masala lays and found out that they also have a restaurant inside. I ordered the masala magic chips and they were truly amazing. These chips are like a unicorn, hard to find in the United States. Please send me more! I had the vegan aloo saag, basmati rice, and puri. The puri was good, but the saag was just average. It lacked the soul and spice that are essential in ethnic dishes. I would go back to try different items if I were in the area again.

I have been on my vegan journey for about a year now, and sometimes I feel like my options are limited. However, finding this wonderful little restaurant was a breath of fresh air. They serve deliciously spicy, homemade Indian food cooked right on the spot. The owners are lovely people and they have everything they need to prepare the food in their kitchen. The first time I tried their thali, I was impressed. It was a great sampler with enough food for multiple meals and it was absolutely delicious. Tonight, I tried the chole samosa and it was amazing! The samosas are fantastic. I also purchased some vegan sweets made with cashews. I absolutely adore this little gem of a restaurant!

Update: Unfortunately the past 2 times I've visited IN gone to this restaurant I noticed they have added chicken biriyani another chicken dish to the menu. Original review: I went to visit my family in NW IN in October 2012 was so excited to find out there is finally a fully veg restaurant there! The restaurant is actually about 40 minutes from my family's house, but I still went there twice in the 8 days I was visiting. The restaurant is just a tiny area inside a tiny Indian grocery store. The menu was small, but the food was great. I am vegan didn't have any trouble finding things on the menu to eat. In a more veg-friendly area I'd probably give this a 4 mainly because the eating space itself is tiny visually unappealing, but considering the area it's definitely a 5.

Tucked in the corner of a grocery store is some delicious Indian food. Awesomely friendly and helpful staff. We sampled samosas, pakoda, and masala dosa, and could not decide which was the best. Looking forward to this gem becoming part of the family's permanent rotation.

Super friendly staff and many delicious vegan options!
