There are a lot of Indian restaurants in Los Angeles, and they're usually a go-to for vegans since there are often many vegetarian choices. Even better, several are completely vegetarian. When my friend Ken Spector of LivingECHO told me he wanted to take me to his favorite, I was excited but skeptical (especially after my amazing meal at
Tanzore). However, I have to say that
Bawarchi exceeded my expectations and is definitely one of the best Indian restaurants I've been to in it's price range. (I haven't been to Samosa House yet and there are mixed opinions over who is better. However, Bawarchi's chef used to work there, so I assume the food is similar.)
FYI: They have a great vegan selection, but it's not marked, so you have to ask.
