Veg Harvest Restaurant

Last week, my wife and I went to try Indian Harvest's newest restaurant spin-off, Veg Harvest. Naperville has remarkably good Indian restaurants and I love Indian food. If you like Indian food, especially South Indian and street style food, then Veg Harvest is a winner. I like Indian Harvest, but this is a vegetarian only restaurant. This is also different because of the addition of chaats and other street fare, something you don't find in a lot of Indian restaurants. We had the Samosa Chaat, which is a samosa topped with an Indian 'chili'. Next we had Butter Masala Dosai and Navratan Korma. The Dosai was about 14" wide and filled with a great potato mixture. The Navratan Korma would have been a hit in any other restaurant, but here it was our third choice. We ordered too much. The Samosa Chaat and Dosai would have been enough for two people. So order wisely.

The service was very good. Indian Harvest does have good service and here is no exception. They kept water glasses filled and were attentive to our table.

This is relatively a new place and is closed on Tuesday. They do not have a liquor license. The sign outside is still Indian Harvest (this is the previous place before they moved across the street).

When I think about what was wrong with the restaurant, I don't have much to say. For a mid-level Indian restaurant, it is extremely good. All I want is good food, good service and a nice atmosphere. If I want fancy, I'll go to India House in Oakbrook. But this is a great place to get a excellent Indian food.

When we go to a new place, the thing that tells us we like it is when we are planning on the next visit, before we are done with the first. It doesn't happen all that often. Half way through the dinner, we were ready to come back. The other thing that tells us we liked it is when we see who we should tell or bring.

This is a winner.
