Vatan is profiled on Eater NY's Indian map as a prix-fixe Gujarati thali restaurant, and Tripadvisor reviewers note it used to be booked all the time pre-pandemic and is trending that way again, indicating strong demand for its fixed seatings.
Because the format is a leisurely multi-course thali meant to last 1.5 to 2 hours per Tripadvisor, fullness shows up as booked-out reservation slots rather than a walk-in line, with reviewers reporting waits between courses rather than at the door.
