Chowpatti is great because of the trouble of getting vegan Indian food in restaurants. They use corn oil instead of ghee, so it ain't a problem. Vegetaria is sorta boring, Soul east likewise, but still tasty, Govinda's is the traditional Krishna buffet, all you can eat for <5$ last time I checked, and a fair amount of vegan stuff. The Bread Shop is basically a deli, but w/good vegan salads etc. ) Anne Chenette Hope that helps a little bit, Sridhar.
