Bad food, rude staff

Went with group of veggie and omni folks. Food tasted nothing like even semi-correct Indian food.

The staff were aggressive and rude.


Will not be returning.

Pros: Pretty decor

Cons: Poor food, Small portions, Rude staff

Very tasty & fresh 🥘

Super delicious fresh Indian food 🤤
Lots of vegan options on the menu. It's also possible to prepare the vegetarian dishes vegan 🌱
There is a small point deduction.. please don't wrap the cutlery in foil.

Pros: Fresh & tasty, Fast service & fair price, Friendly staff

Cons: Cutlery wraped in foil

Muy rico!

Está escondido en un tercer piso, de un edificio del centro histórico de la CDMX. La comida es deliciosa, aunque las porciones podrían mejorar. La carta tiene variedad en alimentos.
El servicio es lento y la comida no la sirven tan caliente.

Pros: Comida es deliciosa , Variedad de platillos

Cons: Las porciones podrían mejorar , El servicio es lento, La comida estaba fría

Great experience

Just stumbled upon this place while exploring downtown on a quiet Sunday and was happy to see that it was vegetarian. I was easily able to order a vegan meal of aloo gobi, Baingan bharta and cumin rice. I see some reviews complaining about the service, and to be clear: this is not a quick eats place. It’s great for a leisurely meal. There is a cart that comes around and makes Turkish coffee at your table and even a belly dancing show. The dancers were great. I spent a couple hours here, just taking it all in. There’s a beautiful gift shop on the lower level too. I can’t recommend the eggplant (baingan bharta) enough. It was so tender and not spongey as it can be when overcooked.

Pros: Atmosphere , Menú , Entertainment

Slow

Weird place. You nerd to go through a store to get to an elevator (which was not working last time).

Even with only a handful of people there the service is terribly slow. We did see some people leave while we were waiting because no one took their orders. We had te be quit aggressively stop a waiter to ask for the menu as well. Only one meal was available to pick.

Pros: Central location

Cons: Slow, no attention to guests, Small food portions, limited choose

Don’t arrive hungry

We get in the bad habit when traveling of getting really hungry and then finding a place to eat. This was a bad place to show up hungry. The food took almost an hour to arrive. When it finally did, it was ok tho the aloo gobi (cauliflower and potato) was not super generous and included only five little florets and no potatoes. Maybe they were just having a bad day that day. The ambiance was nice, a good place to step away from the business of the street for a bit, but if you’re hangry, bring a granola bar with you just in case. Bummer.

Pros: Chill vibes, Nice ambiance

Cons: Slow

Excellent option in Centro, plus belly dancers!

Great option for Indian food -- affordable, huge menu, great old building. Servers are knowledgable on which dishes are vegan, and the thalis can be made vegan with substitutions, etc. Make sure you catch the weekend belly dance show, it's really quite good. And when you're done eating, peruse the two whole floors of imported Indian goods and clothing. Highly recommended.

Tasty and good option in the historic centre

Nice space, Staff were very pleasant but took a while to serve us. Vegan options not marked on the menu so it was a bit difficult to know what we could have. Asked if the thali could be made vegan which it could.

Flavours were good, could have been spicier! Portion a little on the small size for the price but I suppose you are in the very touristic area.

Worth a visit if you are craving Indian food in the city centre.

Pueden mejorar

👨🏽‍🍳 Servicio 6/10 (muy lento pero mesero amable)
Las opciones veganas no son escritas en el menú, tienes que preguntar por cada opción si es vegana o no.

🧆 Comida 7/10 (estaba bueno, buena especias, pero la ensalada y las frutas no parecieron frescas)

💒 Ambiente 6/10 (ubicación central, decoración y animación muy "kitch")

💡Originalidad 6/10 (nada del otro mundo pero tienen thali vegano)

💸 Precios correctos

Pros: Ubicación , Food ok, Precios correctos

Cons: Slow service

Great food and prices

Great Indian restaurant. I went here with a big appetite and was fully satisfied. It took a bit of effort to request a fully vegan meal since my Spanish isn’t great, but it all worked out and was fully worth it. The restaurant is totally vegetarian and many dishes are vegan by default.

Pros: Good prices, Tasty food

Food was ok

I had way better Indian food. And then I got the wrong dish, not what I had ordered. Garlic Naan was super dry.
The place is huge so it take us a while to find somebody attending us.

As there are not a lot of vegan/vegetarian restaurant in the historic center it's an option but I wouldn't go again.

Pros: 100% vegetarian with lots of vegan options, Price is ok

Cons: Not so tasty, Bad attention

Great Indian Food

I got the Chana Masala with garlic naan, and was pleasantly surprised how tasty it was! It’s on par with Indian food in California - highly recommend going here if you are search of tasty vegan options.

Delicioso y agradable

Un restaurante muy bonito, con un ambiente de la India muy bello, ofrece espectáculo y bella música de fondo. Todo es vegetariano con facilidad para veganizar la mayoría de platillos. Comida súper rica, las empanadas son de lo mejor que he probado.

Pros: Fácil forma de veganizar los platillos

Delicioso y super llenador!

Restaurante muy amplio con shows de bailarinas! Muy familiar y atractivo. Al principio los paquetes que te venden parecieran pequeños comparados al precio, pero vaya sorpresa! Todo delicioso y muy llenador! Fuimos tres personas y no logramos terminarnos los platillos! Lo único malo fue el servicio, suuuuuper lento y todos distraidos. Aconsejaría por esta razón buscar otro lugar cerca si están muriendo de hambre o si no son muy pacientes, cuando fui casi no había gente y aun así tardaron unos 20 min SOLO en llevarnos la cuenta.

Pros: Todo riquisimo y el show, increíble!, Excelente ambiente!

Cons: Servicio terrible, todo tardaba muchísimo, Se tardaron como 20 min en la cuenta

A wonderful find!

After being severely disheartened by high prices and poor quality of food in vegan and vegetarian friendly places here in Mexico, I am delighted to finally land upon a place that is reasonably priced, authentic and delicious. I was dubious at first... Real Indian food in Mexico? But I was quickly humbled because most fortunately this is the real deal. Definitely as good as any I have eaten in the U.S. I highly recommend it! (I got the Thali plate, which gives you a nice variety of tastes and dishes.)
