Best Indian food in Howard County. Can hold its own against highly rated B'more and DC restaurants competitors as well. The dosai are great, but I keep coming back to their okra dish.

I took my vegetarian mother here for her birthday, because she wanted Indian food and we always had problems finding places that were truly vegetarian. Much to our surprise, this place lived up to its claim and we had an excellent birthday lunch!
The food is typical Indian fare, but with a wide variety to choose from. I'm not much of a fan of Indian food, but there were even things that I kept going back for more. I would love to list the stuff, but I couldn't even pronounce the names. All I know is that they were good!
For those who aren't vegetarian, they usually have a few chicken dishes set off to the side. Other than that, this place is truly for the vegetarian or open-minded. I also have to give kudos for the very attentive management who kept checking on their customers and helping with whatever was needed.
So, if you're in the mood for Indian food and/or someplace to take a vegetarian friend or family member... check out the Mango Grove. You won't be disappointed!
