Great Faux Meat - Edit
There are few places in Richmond where you can get meatless “meats” and Gold Lion has some of the best I’ve had!

Awesome Dining Experience - Edit
I ate here for the first time today and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The Hyderbadi House chai latte was delicious, the Keema Samosa was SOOO good and the vegan meat was both juicy and flavorful, the Chutney Cheeze Burger was a perfect veggie burger with nice flavors and the Masala Salad was tasty and light. The restaurant was decorate in a fun and welcoming way. The staff were kind and helpful. I can’t wait to come back to try more!

I had higher hopes.. - Edit
I remember seeing an article about the cafe opening. I was genuinely super excited. Today I've finally had the chance to try it out and honestly? I was unfortunately very disappointed.
Read moreThe original chai unfortunately barely had any flavor nor spice. it was kinda bland. We spent 42 dollars for basically nothing? The taxes on top of everything were wild. Like we weren't aware we'd pay for 5 different taxes and haven't had that before so it was weird.
The best thing were the original samosas. The mango chutney and mint sauce were good too. The meat samosa tasted too much like beef to me for some reason, but besides that it was good. The samosas are huge.
The hummus platter was so unbelievably disappointing. I honestly would've been ashamed of myself if I would've served that to someone. Stale fried chips.. seasoning was good but I had a hard time eating them at all. Hummus was okay-ish. Kinda dry... Not the best. The cucumber were also not the freshest. I kinda thought it'd come with more vegetables.. it was celery, cucumber and some lettuce. Idk. Didn't look good and tasted even worse. 😆 I usually don't like leaving bad reviews but I was genuinely disappointed.
The atmosphere was low-key awkward. Sadly. 😆 Staff was nice though. #Veganuary
Pros: Samosas are big, decently flavored.
Cons: Pricey , Flavorless , Weird atmosphere

Nurturing atmosphere and flavorful food - Edit
I had lunch today at the Gold lion, and was delighted at the menu, which was almost 100% vegan except for two items that had cheese. It is also a nutritious freshly made menu with diversity of Indian and American selections. The atmosphere was very homey and welcoming.

Friendly vibes and delicious, unique food - Edit
We had the Wayside Rolls, Chick'n Salad and Butter Chick'n. Everything was delicious but the Butter Chick'n will haunt my dreams. The Chick'n Salad was a generous portion with perfectly balanced flavors. The service was extremely friendly. Highly recommend.

Great food! - Edit
Memphis Blues BBQ sandwich was spot on for delicious Bbq eats, yummy fries too. Friendly noodle soup was very tasty and comforting. Keema somosa was good too, tasted like beyond meat (not sure), came with mint chutney sauce- very hot spicy. Can ask to use mango chutney instead, no heat, delicious too. Owner Matthew was very kind and informative as was his staff. We will make this café a regular stop for us!
