Columbia offers two elevated Indian dining options for veg-friendly diners. Royal Taj delivers fine-dining service with attentive staff and an extensive vegetarian menu, while Ananda takes a farm-to-table approach with eight fireplaces, stained-glass windows, and ingredients raised on-site. Both are worth the drive from Baltimore for a special occasion.
