Sattvik Foods

I really liked the food here. The flavors are authentically Indian and not overly rich, resembling home-cooked meals. The thali is quite popular and gives a homely vibe. The chaats are also very good. One highlight is the availability of tawa rotis, which I haven’t found at any other Indian restaurant in San Diego. The service is fast, though parking outside is limited.

Chaat done right, their dahi Vada and dahi puri feel like they have been perfected — the right amount of sweet, savory, spice and texture.

The Manchurian is also lovely but I’m used to more heat so if you like spicy ask for more chili.

With how the food is done you never even realize that there’s no meat on the menu. And I don’t feel comatose like what other Indian food often does due to the lack of oil and “filler” like cream you come to expect in Indian cuisine.

The prices are super affordable and there’s nothing around, yes, even Taco Bell that can give you quality food at such a low price… I don’t know how they’re able to keep the prices so low.

Lastly I love the posters— gives the place some character and you know that the chef is as spicy as her food without taking herself too seriously

Wish we had something like this in Singapore, it puts a lot of Indian places to shame.

It’s a great idea to have a sattvik restaurant especially for UCSD students who miss home-cooked meals. But the food is really unpredictable… sometimes it comes out perfect other times too salty or not enough salt. I think it would be great if they started to measure out the amount of salt to ensure consistency in the food.

Other than that they were nice and accommodated my order even though I came right before closing. But they should really update their hours because on google it says they take out till 9pm on Saturdays but they don’t.
