Saved us!

The only veggie restaurant in the area open after 10pm! Had a yummy masala dosai for about 60hkd.

Really great food!

Amazing food, everything is vegetarian. Am sure most of these can be made vegan, coz it is all from the various cuisines of India.

Pros: Great food options, Everything veggie

Outstanding flavors

Extensive all-vegetarian menu with curries, South Indian foods (dosa, uttapam, etc.), chaat, and more. Affordable, about HKD60-100 per person (not including drinks or dessert). Good size portions. Very tasty, much better than the cheaper Indian food in Chung King mansion (in my experience).

Not clearly marked as to which items contain dairy.

To get there, go into the apartment-building-looking metal door from the street, go up the stairs or elevator to the first floor, then pull open the door to the restaurant. I’ll add pictures

Pros: Variety , Flavors, Price

Cons: Vegan vs non-vegan items not marked

Just mediocre

Was not impressed by any of items that I tried there. Just okay and doesn’t feel super fresh.

Disappointed

Their signature dish Masala pav bhaji was utterly disappointment. Rest of food was just about ok. Not the Branto taste which we use to cherish. #Veganuary

Authentic Indian Vegetarian Food

First time being here, order a Thaali set, recommended by a very nice female staff. Should have listened to her for another recommend, coz the portion is too much for me. And I don’t really like the Indian sweet, way too sweet for me. Overall, I recommend it to people who look for affordable lunch in TST.

Pros: Lots of options , Real Indian food, lots of Indians eating there , Very good service

Cons: Portion is too much for me

Really good food.
Waiter knows about vegan, be sure to ask since some stuff have milk or even gravy.

Excellent Indian food

Having lived in India, this is the best Indian food I’ve had outside the country. Chana Masala and Alu Palak were great. Waiter also had good understanding of vegan!

Pros: Huge menu

Cons: Expensive

Great Indian vegetarian food (I had the daal makhani). I wouldn’t say it’s the best I’ve had in Southeast Asia or outside of India, but still good enough to receive 5stars in this part of the world :-)
Pricing for Hong Kong is fair.

great curry in Hong Kong

Best curry I've had not in India or England. They get what it is to be vegan so ensuring no ghee is no problem. All their stuff is great, including the veg Manchurian (dry)- on the Chinese section of the menu but unbelievably good. It was a favourite haunt of mine and my girlfriend's whilst we lived in Hong Kong

Pros: good staff who understand veganism, great taste

Cons: moderate price but not really cheap, not all vegan

ok-ish

Had a Thali. Dishes were high on salt, low on flavour. Glas could have been cleaner or newer, not sure. For the price a bit disappointing.

Super tasty

My friend took me to this place and without his introduction I probably wouldn’t have found it or been bothered to go. The place is pure veg, meaning they still serve dairy products so be sure to ask for the vegan options on their menu. The place is sure not the prettiest, but if you can foresee this and focus on the flavors you will love it! Personally I don’t mind rough looking places, I find it charming and I really enjoy the local culture so I do end up eating in some weird places sometimes, but 9 times out of 10 I end up coming back! We had the spinach palak which was thick and creamy and full of flavors. We also tried the Chana masala with chickpeas and it as delicious and very rich in taste. The Daal Masala was more like a soup and very mild, but since I’m a big fan of lentils I really enjoyed the flavor. Their naan breads have yoghurt, so order the vegan bread instead. I cannot remember the name, but the staff is educated on what vegans eat so just ask them, they do speak english. I did come back here three days in a row for lunch!

Best pani puri ever

Honestly get the pani puri. It’s incredible. I came back a second time and ordered it twice.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Best pani puri I have EVER TASTED IN MY LIFE , Cheapish

Good food, strange vibes

The food was yummy and very authentic. Little weird vibes though. Funky Indian music on tv in the background. Waiters don’t speak.

Pros: good food

Cons: weird vibes

Indian for a change

After several days of primarily Chinese Buddhist food, we took a break with something spicier.
The place is small, rundown and cozy.
The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Despite our love for Indian food we are not familiar with all of it and they were helpful trying to explain to us.
Food was good and well priced.

Would not recommend the tomato soup, but everything else was perfect.

Pros: location, vegan options, big selection

average food, but cheap and rather nice place

Lunch today. The plain dosa was good. Arguably better than at Saravana Bhavan or Sangeetha. But I was disappointed by the Thali, especially by the rice and the bread that were below average. So mixed feeling about the food. Price is lower than peers. I also quite like the room, typical of old small HK restaurants, sadly disappearing. I shall come back and try other South Indian dishes.

secret door to a slower pace

this restaurant is located on the first floor with access through a locked door. there is just a little sign next to the door outside. it took me a good 10 minutes to find with help! once inside you'll find an extensive menu to choose from. dinner sets are $79 hkd. simple atmosphere in a chilled environment. a mini harbour from the manic speed on the streets.

very good food

on our recent trip in July to HK, we had dinner at this place on two nights and let me say that the food quality exceeded our expectations.
We had Paneer butter masala, Dal makhani among others and both the preparations were too good.
One other plus is very fast and good service.

Pros: excellent food, good service

Cons: absence of tandoori items, cramped for space

Branto, Hong Kong

I've been here a couple of times now. It's a reasonably priced cheap and cheerful type place. I've had a vegan thali on both occasions and thoroughly enjoyed it. They also do a big choice of dosas and a large selection of Punjabi dishes.

Pros: Vegan friendly, Tasty food

Very good indian with fast service

Went there with an Indian friend. He said it was a very good Indian restaurant. I agree!
We took a masala dosa, a kind of long sheet rolled with some potato and herbs inside, and sev puri like a small snack/entrance a bit spicy.
Overal, seems clean, foods is really tasty, they have a set for around 75HKD. For one person cost = around 50-75HKD.
Totally recommend this place !
If you want vegan, you can ask the waiters for dishes with no cream or milk, still plenty of choice.

Pros: Really tasty, Wide variety of indian dishes, Quick service

Cons: Menu doesn't say if vegan or veggie

There are not many places where I consider it worth to queue up. But this place is! Great Indian food whit many choices for a reasonable price.

Pros: great food, big portions

Cons: short opening times
