Other options are also offered such as fried Samosas and many other specialties of Indian cuisine. The dining room, decorated colorfully and traditionally-inspired by the wall-painting in the Rajasthan Villages, is always packed, proof that the quality of the food is excellent, as people come back everyday for their regular treats. The Vegetarian Club and Restaurant also features a cultural center located on the bottom floor of the club where you can purchase traditional Indian goods such as clothes, cosmetics, jewelry, spices and much more at low prices.
