Good menu - vegan dishes clearly marked

They actually have vegan dishes clearly marked on the menu..a rare thing in "omnivorous " restaurants in Funchal !
Friendly service.
We had a good quality vegan thali, and a not very good vegetable biryani.
The interior is very basic and not particularly cosy or pleasant.
Overall, worth taking a look if in the old town, it's a decent option, although not the best, in my opinion, for vegan Indian in Funchal.

One of the best restaurants in Funchal

Indian restaurant with many vegan options. We ordered four of them and all tasted amazing.

You can get a full vegan meal incl. vegan naan bread and rice for less than EUR 15,-

Impoetant note: There are two restaurants that are called "Basmati", so make sure to visit the right one!

Pros: Tasteful , Cheap, Lots of vegan options

Cons: Looks a bit touristic

Got fish instead of a vegan dish

I ordered a specifically vegan dish and was served a wrong one with fish. Noticed after one bite and got sick. Was extremely disgusted and not able to eat the correct dish after this. Unfortunately a very bad experience.

Flavoursome food

The menu has lots of vegan and vegetarian options to choose from. The owners are well informed and are happy to adapt the food to make vegan. Even the naan bread is vegan (cooked with oil instead of yogurt).

Updated from previous review on 2022-06-04

Pros: Reasonably priced, Great service

Five stars if it were allowed as it has more choice than vegan and vegetarian only venues

Have eaten in vegan and vegetarian only eateries in Madeira, but the new menu at the new venue (as of May 2022) on Largo do Corpo Santo in the heart of Funchal Old Town has a much greater selection of choices than vn/vg only venues we have tried in several years of living on the island.

The flavours achieved are spectacular and varied, so it is our favourite place of any kind to eat out. Not to be missed by those seeking something different, or anyone with a sudden urge for curry.

Vegans and vegetarians are very warmly welcomed - one of the owners is herself vegetarian - and much of the Nepali and Indian food served has a long heritage from a predominantly vegetarian base.

In short, they really know what they are doing when it comes to serving exciting vn/vg food with outstanding flavour.

Pros: Extensive menu & variety of dishes, Quality food and a range of outstanding flavours, Eat inside, outside or between the two

Cons: Miss the private outdoor area at the old venue, Service needs time to adjust to the new venue
