“Went for the special vegan night, as advertised on Facebook. Two in our party of four were carnivores and could still order off the main menu. We’ve never had a bad meal at Talk of India, and the vegan night was just as delicious as their main menu. Independent restaurants are always so much better than chain ones.” –Helen Green
