Earthen Jar

Every single item on the menu is fantastic. The quality of the food by itself would merit Earthen Jar 5 stars, but the genuine kindness of the staff makes it a one of a kind establishment. Each meal is prepared with care, and are mostly vegan so it’s an all around great place. Highly recommend!

The food was wonderful and so was the staff. All but two of the dishes were vegan and they were amazing. I wish I lived closer to Ann Arbor, I'd easily become a regular. Will definitely be eating here again before the end of our vacation. Vegetarian options: Vegan options are clearly labeled and all dishes are vegetarian.

I’ve been coming here my entire life and I can’t say enough good things about Earthen Jar. They are always warm and welcoming here! Obviously the food is amazing. Pictured below is my delicious plate and a soy mango lassi on the right. They have my favorite Channa Masala of any restaurant and their Matter Paneer is also amazing - two of my favorite items but you can’t go wrong with anything else. Love it :

I recently planned an event for my department for ~120 people and Earthen Jar provided the food. They were incredibly helpful and responsive to all of my questions. They made sure that all of our dietary restrictions and allergies were taken care of with no problem. The food arrived hot and very tasty! Vegetarian options: All of the food is entirely vegetarian and most dishes are vegan as well. Dietary restrictions: They were very helpful and accommodating with all of our allergy and dietary requirements.

A rather odd system with the price per pound when you dine in, but this is the closest to homemade Indian food I've gotten in Ann Arbor. Highly recommend if you're a vegetarian/vegan or if you want a taste of homemade Indian food.

I’ve been coming here for 18 years. I’m not vegetarian. I simply love the food. My favorite is the dal saag and mango lassi. Highly recommend both if you come by. Absolutely excellent. More so, it’s run by the same family, so please support your local business!

A decade+ ago I loved this place as a vegetarian undergrad. Today I found that they are at the University Hospital cafeteria two days a week. I've been here most days for about a month as my wife went into premature labor and my twin daughters have been in the NICU. I was overjoyed to see them with a space in the cafeteria, and wish I'd known sooner. Such a delightful respite from the Cottage Inn pizza, prepack sushi, and grab and go sandwiches and salads that I've otherwise been eating. Here's hoping this place continues to offer great tasting, healthy Indian food to hungry students, residents, and visitors for years to come!

This review concerns the use of canola oil in all its products. All processed oils are harmful and canola leads the list. It is genetically modified and chemicals are used in refining process. Look it up! The restaurant is doing a disservice to its customers by using canola. Extra Virgin Olive oil, even processed, is a much better alternative because it retains its antioxidants and vitamins. Canola has no nutritional value and is junk food.

Serves very healthy and tasty Indian vegetarian food. This place is a hidden gem. Very friendly staff too.
