I have been going to the Vegetarian at least once a week for the past year or so, and (as a former chef at the St. Paul Hotel, Luccia's, the table of Contents and others) I rate it one of the most authentic Indian restaurants in the Twin Cities, with consistently high quality food. The Bedi family has created a place that is a both a wonderful place to eat good healthy vegetarian food cooked in traditional Punjabi and south Indian styles and a place that the North Central Avenue community. Whether it is the Dosa, cooked light and crispy and served with a mouth-watering coconut chutney or the Dhal Makini that is as smokey and spiced as well as any in India, each dish is made with fresh traditional ingredients. And we haven't even gotten to desert. Half teh Indian wedding/celebrations in the Cities get their pastries from the Bedis and the Kheer (traditional Rice Pudding) made a friend of mine from the Punjab swoon! \r

The only flaw is that the North Suburbs have never realized or appreciated the gem on North Central.
Pros: Amazing food!
