Sangeetha Vegetarian Restaurant, Lebuh Ampang

Been ages since I've met Angie, and when we finally did managed to agree on a day for lunch, she suggested Sangeetha.
It was a warm day, but she felt like having indian food, so Sangeetha, with it's comfortable setting and cooling air-con seems like the perfect choice.
The menu looks confusing and we did the shortcut by order 2 sets which consists of a bit of everything :p
Got our drinks first..
My Mango Lassi (RM7)
Thick layer of yogurt mixed with fresh mango puree. Nice and rich, slightly sourish- definitely perked up my appetite for my meal. Angie's Triveni drink (RM7.50) was recommended by the manager. It was refreshing, tasted like a fusion version of ginger ale.
Chilled tomato soup before the meal..
Although the soup was thick, the tomato flavour was subtle, not sour at all. Rather creamy, the more I drank it, the tastier it gets.
The Sangeetha Set (RM12)
Loved the colours and the aroma, so much vegetarian dishes (and served with rice and roti canai), I really didnt know where to start. I cant recall the names of all the dishes, but it's southern indian dishes with a combination of vegetables such as long bean, cauliflower, beansprouts, dhall, potatoes etc. Sugee (the bright orange bowl) was the dessert. I feel that Sangeetha's take on southern indian food lighter, not as salty and rich, which I was happy with.
I prefer the Punjabi Set (RM16) though..
The set was a combo of spiced rice, naan and an assortment of dishes (less than Sangeetha set though). The masala vegetable got my vote, it was ultra delish- it was very hard to believe that there's no meat in that dish. The palak paneer was pretty nice too, goes well with the rice. I love the sweet meat too (the square cube)- I cant recall the name- but it tasted like a compact version of chinese dragon beard candy.
There's still a number of interesting dishes I'll like to try here, so, am definitely coming back soon :).
Sangeetha Veg Restaurant is located at 65, Lebuh Ampang, 40-46, Palace Hotel Plaza, KL.

lebuh ampang is pretty close to my office on jln sultan ismail, so this does look appealing, especially the punjabi set. also, air-conditioning is a MUST for me when it comes to indian and thai food, since i sweat really easily :D

I'm a big fan of indian vegetarian food, but I have yet to try the food at Sangeetha's. Parking must be a horror, I reckon?

those look like real vegetarian dishes with genuine greens ,
not tofu ! we always say Indian cuisine is the most traditional of Malaysian cuisine , almost unchanged since Asoka n taj Mahal. while Malay cuisine has changed beyond description, if only they can extend this philosophy to errr ...
