Indian cuisine is known for its spices, distinctive blends of flavor and a whopping number of traditional vegetarian dishes. Gokul Indian Restaurant (6101 Delmar Boulevard, University City; 314-721-1888) lives up to that reputation and then some. Gokul is a 100 percent vegetarian restaurant that offers both a set menu as well as an all-you-can-eat buffet. Its menu also caters to vegan and dairy-free diets. Each Monday night the buffets at both locations are completely vegan-friendly. The restaurant's larger location is located in the Loop, while the other is not too far away on Page Avenue.
