Brilliant. Amazing. The Best.
Jai Krishna is a little disconcerting to the first-time visitor - BYO, vegetarian, pretty shabby looking and utterly disinterested staff - but hold on, this place is amazing, as attested to by the fact that it's packed out by locals every weekend.
Yes, you have to write your own order down on a piece of paper and take it up to the counter, but when that food comes, man is it worth it. These guys know how to cook.
Try the exqusite yoghurt and rice starters, my personal favourite the chilli paneer, or the much admired dosas. And the puddings are great too, if you can fit them in.
Oh, did I mention it's mind-bogglingly cheap?
For booze, Jack's offie is directly opposite, and very friendly (if sometimes a little whiffy).
Non-veggies: I once took a cordon bleu carnivore chef who hates vegetarians here: he loved it, and insists we go there whenever he visits since.
Favourite restaurant in the world. No doubt.
