Vatica Indian Cuisine — Restaurant in Smyrna

100% vegetarian restaurant that is effortlessly vegan!

BEST meal we have had in Atlanta. Granted I am rarely in Atlanta, but this place hits on all cylinders! GREAT food, friendly staff, clean restaurant with an expert cook and savvy business manager. So happy to get the vegan Thali for lunch. The menu items change every day.

For dinner it appears there are additional menu items available, but the Thali was great. Nice to be able to have seconds of your favorite dish, and so nice not to see the food waste of an American buffet setting. We were immediately greeted warmly, immediately water glasses and a pitcher of water was brought to our table-what a concept, no having to ask for refills!! The staff and owners took lots of time explain the foods and then later to answer all our questions. They were prompt in refilling the dishes we desired seconds of but never hovered. Everything was fresh and hot. The restaurant is clean and well run unlike some vegan restaurants we have frequented that are neither. The portion sizes are generous and it is all you can eat, you will leave too full because everything is just so good tasting. I think it is a good value for the price. There is ample seating, in fact there is room for larger groups to meet. We felt like we are family when we visited,...

My search for my go to Indian restaurant is over! You guys have found a regular. Thank you Vatica and the staff who work hard to bring us the best quality Indian food to our neighborhood!

They always have the best garlic naan. Fluffy and not burnt. Fresh garlic bits spread over the naan with the perfect crunch and well balanced flavor with each bite. THIS IS FROM NAAN ALONE! I've never had garlic naan cooked consistently like this with every order from a restaurant. My soul thanks you.

The right amount of spices and cooked to perfection bhindi masala. Always consistent. I've probably ordered this 3 times within the last month and never disappoints. My soul thanks you for this too.

Their vegan thali this most recent order was oddly much more spicy than the last time I had it about a couple of weeks ago. It's still a great deal and the portions are super generous. I guess a little extra spice once in a while won't stop me from not ordering this again.

I've tried various Indian restaurants around the area but wasn't completely satisfied with their burnt naan and inconsistently cooked dishes. Either the bhindi masala is over cooked or the okra is as hard as plastic but Vatica, you have a lifetime customer here. I recommend this restaurant x1000!!...

We arrived Friday afternoon, excited to experience their vegan thali. We were, however, refused and told that we could eat the buffet or nothing. There is nothing mentioned anywhere in the restaraunt or on their website we could find that says thali are not offered when they offer a buffet, but that's what they do. Buffet offerings are often full of cross-contaminated foods, and since the buffet is not all vegan, we had to go elsewhere. You cannot call yourself vegan friendly if you don't actually provide vegans with an option that is not an omni-buffet. The owner responds, "Our restaurant menu and all of our social media platforms clearly state..." However, we did not use social media to locate this restaurant, we used the restaurant's website, and the signs the restaurant has on it's windows, and neither say that Thali is not offerd when there is a buffet. What good is it to write it on the menu? By the time I see a menu, I have already driven to your location because I wanted what I saw on the webside. Thanks for the waste of gas and the...
