Vayal's Indian Kitchen

Vayal’s Indian Kitchen started as a food truck before launching its brick-and-mortar space in January 2024. Its new home in a strip mall on Thomas Road quickly became a neighborhood favorite. Some fans of the truck sought out Vayal’s rich curries and tender flatbreads at the new location. Other neighbors stumbled upon the new restaurant and quickly fell in love. Vayal’s does a roaring takeout business, but we love sliding into a booth at this casual, comfortable eatery and asking servers for their recommendations. The Dal Makhni, chunky with whole black lentils and tomatoes, is a must. The Kothu Parotta is a unique dish made with a pan-grilled flatbread that is sliced up and mixed with spicy veggies, paneer, egg or chicken. And the Tikka Masala, made with chicken, fish, shrimp or lamb, is a rich and creamy classic not to miss.
