Well-prepared Nepali and Indian dishes with many vegan options - Edit
On the very extensive menu, five starters and almost 30 mains are marked vegetarian. It looks as though a good half of them are vegan or can be made vegan. Despite the lack of a vegan symbol on the printed menu, our server seemed well-versed in what vegan means and readily agreed to ask the kitchen to make items vegan that are marked as vegetarian. (Of course, dishes based on paneer or a ghee-based sauce aren't convertible.) We thoroughly enjoyed a starter, two mains, and two orders of bread, all vegan, namely: samosas with a sesame sauce on the side, chana saag (a classic Indian curry made with chickpeas, spinach, onion, tomato, ginger, garlic, and warm spices), multi-bean masala (eight kinds of bean in a spicy sauce), and whole-grain roti. All were delicious and beautifully prepared. The service was good and the ambience was cozy. Outdoor seating was available.

Really nice authentic food - Edit
The food here was really nice and flavourful. We love places that take longer to cook so it soaks up all the awesome flavours. Only about 20-25 (nothing major). Would definitely come again.

Not sure if there are actually vegan options - Edit
Waiter initially said all the VG options were vegan than when we asked what V stood for she changed her mind V stands for vegetarian and G for gluten free. There wasn't a symbol for vegan and she just walked off before we could ask what was vegan. Her complete disinterest and apparent lack of awareness that we if a customer asks about what is vegan they actually want an answer made us very concerned- even if we went to the counter to ask again that we were not confident the food actually was vegan. May just be that one waiter but without a clear menu it was impossible for us to know.

Tofu and tempeh options - Edit
A nice little restaurant with 6 vegan options. We had gado gado tofu and a curry, both were good. Not cheap - around $25 a dish. Both gluten free

Hot curries & a nice change.... - Edit
The Himalayan based options on the menu here were a nice change from regular Indian curries. Friendly service with a good range of Vegan mains & starters clearly marked on the menu. Other Veggie options can be made Vegan on request too.We ordered a 'medium' & a 'hot'....it was hot!Starters are $6-7 & mains around $15-18. A clean, fresh restaurant with friendly staff.Tasty food. We enjoyed it & would dine there again.
Read morePros: Good service. Nice portion sizes.
Cons: No Vegan desserts
