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

Outstanding flavors - Edit
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).
Read moreNot 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

Disappointed - Edit
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 - Edit
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.
Read morePros: Lots of options , Real Indian food, lots of Indians eating there , Very good service

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 :-)

great curry in Hong Kong - Edit
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
Read morePros: good staff who understand veganism, great taste
Cons: moderate price but not really cheap, not all vegan

ok-ish - Edit
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 - Edit
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!

Indian for a change - Edit
After several days of primarily Chinese Buddhist food, we took a break with something spicier.
Read moreThe 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 - Edit
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 - Edit
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 - Edit
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.
Read moreWe had Paneer butter masala, Dal makhani among others and both the preparations were too good.

Branto, Hong Kong - Edit
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.

Very good indian with fast service - Edit
Went there with an Indian friend. He said it was a very good Indian restaurant. I agree!
Read moreWe 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
