Staff seemed unsure

Only ordered drinks. Had to leave. Staff kept saying things were vegan, then weren't and were again so couldn't trust them to understand or care.

Perfectly Spiced Indian Food

We ended up here, so we didn't have to wait until after 9 PM to eat. Busy place, but very efficient waitstaff, so our wit was not long. We started with the vegetable samosas, which were large and truly delicious. Next, I had the Kadhai Vegetable, which was more than enough for one person, with some basmati rice.The food was perfectly spiced and really excellent. I'd happily eat here again.

Pros: Sizeable portions, Quick service, Delicious freshly cooked dishes

Cons: Somewhat loud

Delicious!

Most of the veggie curries could be made vegan when asked, they'll just make it without ghee/paneer. They also made a vegan roti for me!
The food was delicious and came out quickly, Would definitely recommend 😊

Really great food

No markings on the menu saying which is vegan as opposed to veggie but our server was incredibly helpful and it turned out a great deal was vegan. We booked through first table and it was well priced anyway so got a really good deal, happily gave a large tip! We got incredibly full as we tend to get too excited and over order. Would definitely recommend

Nice Food… but

We both really enjoyed our food. The curries were delicious, but we felt that there wasn’t much choice and they were a bit inflexible.

For example they said they couldn’t make their madras vegan, which goes against the grain with every other Indian restaurant I’ve eaten in.

Food was good though, and was debating whether to rank 3 or 4 stars, but gave 4 as I would come back.

Keep looking!

We had an early booking (3 people) so the restaurant wasn’t busy when we ordered. Our meals took well over an hour to arrive and no apology was given. Our starters and mains all arrived together and our breads arrived cold.

They have a seperate vegetarian (Not vegan) menu but our server was very knowledgeable of which dishes were vegan or could be made vegan, which was warmly welcomed.

The food was nice but nothing spectacular and definitely not authentic.

Would I return? I’d probably try another Indian restaurant next time as there were others to choose from in close proximity.

Pros: Good knowledge of vegan dishes , Great location

Cons: Ridiculous wait time for food, Breads came out cold

Yummy dinner

Went to the Frankton Road restaurant and cocktail bar (closer to the airport). Very Friendly service happy to point out which dishes were vegan. I had the mushroom Marsala and it was heaven. Would definitely go back again.

Pros: Classic Indian vibe

Cons: Vegan meals not indicated on the menu

Fragment and Tasty

Vegetarian dishes have their own page on the menu. Although Vegan dishes are not clearly labeled, the staff can inform you of which dishes are vegan friendly and also which dishes can be made vegan. Very friendly service and delicious curry.

Pros: Delicious food , Great customer service , Convenient location

One of my favourites in QT

Nice combination of really tasty food and nice people in an interesting place (I rather go to the Frankton one, bigger and faster service). Waiters always helps us with our choices. A lot of vegetable curries to die for. Vegetable samosa is a must. Very nice rotis too. Couldn't stop going once in a while since I went for the first time. Btw they have Curry night every Wednesday (curries are cheaper that night).

Pros: Amazing flavours, Very good service quality, Friendly staff

Cons: Serves animal products, It gets very busy, Some vegan options are not clear

Deliciously Different

Great food, it had a point of difference in the flavours from any Indian food I've eaten before - delicious! They were very helpful with selection - plenty of choice, including garlic roti which made a nice change from dry roti. Very friendly, & welcoming.

Pros: Delicious, Good selection, Helpful staff

Cons: Serves animal products
