    I have eaten at Veda 3 times. The food is consistent and i like the ambiance, location and think it's priced correctly. Last night the service was poor. By the fourth time I asked for our check I was irritated. It wasn't even crowded. We had to request rice and a yogurt dish that we ordered 2x after everything else came out . Just sloppy on their part.

    Solid Indian cuisine in a nice casual setting. Great Old Fashion cocktail with an Indian flare. Bar service was slow and we were not offered additional drinks but it was a very busy weekend crowd so that could have been the issue. Recommend for great Indian food at a very reasonable price.
