Ajanta is one of my favorites, and definitely the best Indian restaurant in the area. Never disappoints. My vegan daughter loves the lotus root entree, and the tandori portabellos are to die for. In addition, there are monthly new dishes, so it never gets stale. Hmmmm... wonder if anyone else suddenly feels like lunching out today.... more
