The selection of vegetarian specialties at House of India includes many dishes containing cheese cubes, but just one with greens (okra). Be that as it may, the makhni dal was properly thick and aromatic, made from cooking small black lentils with red kidney beans, onions, tomatoes, and garam masala (a mixture of spices such as cardamom, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and cloves). A too-subtle eggplant bhartha lacked the smoky spiciness of the real deal, but the mashed eggplant with peas, tomatoes, sautéed onions, and ginger made for a fresh, light side dish.
When it comes to Indian desserts I'm always partial to kulfi, an ice cream made with thickened milk, pistachio, and cardamom. The version here was standard and reliable. The same can be said regarding much of House of India's food, if not its service.
