topic posted Thu, March 2, 2006 - 10:09 AM by  Austin
yo i have to say it we need a good indian food place in SC. yeah i know there is SRI which is great but there is only a few things on the menu. then there is the royal taj which in my opnion SUCKS, dont like the vibe, the food, or the prices. Now there is the jumping monkey which i like, their somosas are excellent, but they only have three thing on the menu. i really hope jumping monkey takes off and opens a bigger resturant, or someone jumps on the ball and provides SC with so Quality indian food

    Yes, the only place that I go to is Jumping Monkey. Here's the info if people don't have it:

    Jumping Monkey Cafe
    418 Front Street
    Santa Cruz, CA · 831-466-0168
    www.jumpingmonkeycafe.com/
    Small cafe with good homemade vegan Indian food.

    Sri Lankan food is close, and there are many good choices in Santa Cruz, where they are entirely vegetarian:

    Asian Rose
    1547 Pacific Ave
    Santa Cruz, CA · 831-458-3023
    Long-time favorite; quick unusual inexpensive Sri Lankan food.

    Malabar Cafe
    1116 Soquel Ave
    Santa Cruz, CA · 831-423-7906
    menustation.com/M alabar/menu.html
    Upscale Sri Lankan; very creative and very good.

    Sri (mostly vegan, but a couple chicken dishes)
    736 Water St
    Santa Cruz, CA · 831-457-2350
    Sri Lankan food; lots of vegan dishes to choose from.

    Sometimes Dharma's has an Indian-inspired dish, as does La Vie.

    There is a place in Watsonville...I don't know the name, but it's pretty good...on W. Lake St. I think. Who would have thought?
    I'm really disapointed in the availability of good Indian eats here.

      Hi - I am the dancer from the restaurant in Watsonville. It was called Lil' India, but they have shut down and are looking to relocate possibly in Capitola.
      Yeah - slim pickins in SC. Sitar is supposed to be owned and run my the Royal Taj... also Sri and Malabar are not really Indian... I'd like to see more Indian and some ETHIOPIAN food in SC!
      YUM!

    I sponsored a vegan dinner at Royal Taj a few months ago, and it actually was good! They had a lot of items that could be vegan.

    Although, I love Jumping Monkey. Everything's homemade and fresh. Too bad they have to be next to the noise. The prices are great.

    There's now Indian food at the Wed Santa Cruz downtown farmers market. India Clay Oven from the bay area goes there. And there's another vendor selling jars of curry for making your own dishes.
