I went to Kalpna for one of my flatmate's birthdays, as he was curious to see if there would be any difference between vegetarian dishes served by a specifically vegetarian restaurant to those served by regular restaurants. The food was certainly interesting, although personally I was left underwhelmed. \n\nWe opted for the lunchtime buffet and at \u00a37.95 per person, it seemed reasonably priced. However, upon getting to the buffet table, the choice was very limited. There were only three main dishes available, a chick pea based dish, and two generic vegetable dishes which were very similar. While the chick pea dish was delicious, the other two were rather bland and left much to be desired. However, the side dishes were interesting and included a deliciously greasy crispy naan. \nThe drinks were a bit pricey too. My mango lassi (yoghurt drink) was around \u00a33 and wasn't quite as large as I'd hoped. Yet the staff were very friendly and the interior simplistic and well presented. \n\nAs has been mentioned in previous reviews though, you simply cannot beat the mosque kitchen for vegetable curry and I believe that had I not already been a regular there, I would be rating Kalpna more highly.
