Blissful Vegan Bollywood Eats. Gokul's Vegan Indian food hits Delmar Loop, St. Louis.

Gokul's in "Delmar Loop, St. Louis.
Vegan Eats.

Our amazing friends at Gokul's finally have their new place in the Delmar Loop (6101 Delmar) open!!  We were so anxiously awaiting their Grand Opening because usually we have to drive all the way to 170 and Page (10633 Page) area to their original location to get some great Vegan Indian Eats.  These photos give you just a glimpse of what is awaiting you at the new Delmar Loop Gokul's.  We ducked in for a quick lunch one day and they had a few vegan options on their buffet.  They had a lot more on our first visit, but I expect they are still "adjusting" their buffet items at the new location.   Their Page location always has the "staples" like Vegan Chana Masala, Vegan Dal, Vegan "Potato" Chips, Vegan Pigeon Peas, Vegan Sambar, and some other "Main" Vegan dish, even when it isn't Vegan Night. The Page location offers "Vegan Night" the 1st and 3rd Mondays of the Month and the Delmar Loop Location is planning (although they haven't started yet) to offer Vegan Night the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month (in the evenings) That means Vegan Korma, Vegan Paneer, Vegan Dal Makhani......even Vegan Rice Pudding. Think super rich coconut milk! 

Vegetarian Buffet everyday, lunch and dinner.  Ask which items are vegan. Delmar Gokul's is also Kosher.

There are 2 dining areas at Gokul's.  The one in the Main Entrance, where the counter and buffet are, and then a cute room on the side.

Gokul's always has an all vegetarian buffet.  They also have a full menu at both locations. The buffet usually has plenty of vegan items on it. While we are super happy to have vegan eats so close, we are still a little partial to the Page location.  I think I miss Ganesh, Hanuman, and Krishna.  The little moving neon text "100% Vegetarian is Best".  The Indian Music.  It is unapologetically "Indian".  The Delmar Location still has the same great eats, but has "mainstreamed" their decor a bit.  

Hopefully the Bollywood movies will start soon!  The place was packed both times, as I think the Delmar Loop has been craving both Vegan & Indian eats for years.  While both locations are Vegetarian, they made the Delmar one Kosher.  It's kind of a trend these days to go Kosher with the Vegan Food.  You see the "V's" and the "Koshers" on lots of food packaging and vegan eataries around the country.   Since we are both minorities (Vegans & Kosher folks) and have some food similarities, it makes good business sense.  If you like Indian food, you will love Gokul's.  The food is fabulous and you won't run into kinder people.  The people working at Gokul's will warm your heart, and the food will warm your body!

**Update:  Gokul will have their "Vegan Buffet" at their Delmar location the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month beginning Monday, March 14, 2011. Vegan Buffet is from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm.  The Page Location will still be offering the Vegan Buffets the 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month.
