KHASIYAT – Restaurant

Gujarati home cooking on West Lancaster Road, vegetarian from end to end and trading since 1999 under chef-owner Bhanu Chavda, who started out cooking to order from her own kitchen. The midday spread is the draw: kadhi and dal, lilva kachori, palak paneer, dum aloo and a rotation of vegetables, with rotli and poori carried hot to the table rather than left to sit. A farsan counter handles fafda, chakri, chevdo and farsi puri, then sweets — jalebi, gulab jamun, kaju katli, mohanthal. Diners describe it the same way every time: food the way somebody's mother makes it.
