Khana Khazana

While in Hong Kong, I tried a few indian restaurants and this was my favorite of them all, the food was amazing, this vegetarian restaurant offers a great lunch buffet, a wonderful variety of main dishes as well as desert. And for dinner, I tried the masala dosa, was amazing! I went back a few times after my first visit. I recommend this to any indian food lover, vegetarian or not, it’s truly great!

It has always been long known that Indian food caters very well to the vegetarian, vegan and Jain diet, and Khana Khazana is no exception. Conveniently located in Wan Chai, this restaurant serves up a large menu of vegetarian delights, which will have even the most carnivorous of us satisfied.
I personally am a fan of the vegetable shish kebab, a «kofta» made with minced vegetables and baked in the tandoor, the tikka paneer, and the dum aloo. All these dishes hover around the HKD60 mark, and are quite reasonable in size, so you will probably find your bill quite low.
What is particularly good about this venue is that it is completely vegetarian, so you don’t have to do the song and dance of, «can I have this, but without the bacon» or «is the stock made with chicken». And despite it being vegetarian, the food, being Indian, is very tasty and in some cases quite spicy! My only issue with the food, is that it can be a bit greasy. Everything seems to be liberally coated in vegetable oil, so just be wary.
The venue itself is a bit like a canteen, with its bright fluorescent strip lighting, plastic tables (at least with table clothes I suppose), and school chairs. It could also do with having a good scrub and a lick of paint. However, I suppose we come for the food after all.
The service is great, the staff are attentive and friendly, but there only seems to ever be one wait staff on. I do tend to come during the day when it is quieter and there aren’t so many folks about, so I hope they add more wait staff in the evening when it gets busier. Having said that, the few evening times I have come, it never gets that busy, so you could probably turn up without a booking.
