"Mahan on Main has amazing food. If you have the time or chance to try their Sunday brunch, alcoholic drinks are included. They have traditional Indian food if you don't want to try their brunch. I love their vindaloo dish and you can ask for less spicy if you cannot take the heat."

"Weekend lunch buffet was very good. 5 vegetarian options (4 of them vegan). The Aloo Vindaloo, Chana Masala. Dal Tarka, and Saag were especially good. The Vegan Thali is very tasty!"

"We had the lunch buffet before and enjoyed it so much that we decided to order takeout for dinner as well. We were happy to find that there was a dinner menu option that allowed us to try a variety of dishes all at once, similar to the buffet style. We ordered two versions"
