not the best for a veggie lover - Edit
Excellent service but food was over cooked, not fresh. Mushy vegetables and lentils with little color. Seemed like food had been cooked earlier then sat for awhile. Bread was oiled. Lots of flavors but I love my veggies!

delicious, Jain! - Edit
We loved our food. We got quite a bit, some of which was by design, some was a hard sell from a gruff waiter who refused to talk to my wife, who usually orders for us (though when I spoke up, M/M, he was more respectful). Another concern was we were served some yogurt despite asking only for vegan food. When the check came thye explained it came with it... that type of thing concerns me in the other specifications, I am sure you know what I mean...

WOW! It was amazing! - Edit
I was excited to try Chaat Bhavan after looking over their menu and seeing all the vegan options. It was so delicious! I look forward to eating there again!

So many vegan options! - Edit
In my opinion this is one of the best spots for Indian food in the bay area. Definitely the best I've ever tried in the east bay. I can't find any flaws with food or service here. Staff is kind and attentive, and the restaurant is beautiful. Vegan menu items are clearly marked which is always great to see. The only thing I'd change is making one of the nine dessert options vegan (there are no vegan desserts here, but that's pretty typical for most Indian restaurants)

Incredible! - Edit
Amazing menu filled with so many vegan choices that it makes it a joy to choose!
Read moreBeautiful food with lots of flavors and delicious taste. We very much appreciated that they can vary the level of hotness. The mild was just perfect for us.
We ate Mix Veg Manchurian as a starter, then Aloo Baigan and Chana Masala as a main with Masala roti,
Stuffed Dhal Paratha and Spinach Paratha with sweet red chutney and green chutney.
The staff was helpful and the prices are more than reasonable
The best part....there is so much choice that we can’t wait to go back and try everything!
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Very reasonable prices, Deliciously food
Cons: Service is not warm and friendly, The setting is functional but not too welcoming

Outstanding Indian food in Dublin - Edit
This restaurant is vegetarian but all items on the menu are marked with symbols letting you know which can be prepared vegan (about 50% of the menu). We were trying to avoid deep fried items which limited our selection somewhat, but there were still many more vegan options than we could try. We ordered the hara bhara bhel, a really interesting and creative salad with cucumber, tomato, sprouts, and crispy wafers that was refreshing, hearty, and delicious. The usal pav green pea curry was also very tasty and fresh, not at all greasy or heavy like some curries can be. The tadka dhal was among the best dhal we've had--very well spiced and complex flavors that blended perfectly. The menu is extensive and can be a little overwhelming. We let them know it was our first time there and they sent out a waiter who was able to make recomendations for us (we had some mild difficulty communicating with our first waiter). The space is very pleasant--this is not a fast food joint--but the prices were very reasonable. 95% of the clientel were South Asian so we took that as a good sign! We look forward to returning very soon!
