Best Indian Restaurant so far

We had Papadum and chutney tray as starter and Aloo Palak and Chana Masala in vegan option. The chili garlic rice is superb.
We have been there twice and would give 5 Stars.

Very vegan friendly and reasonably priced.

I was given a warm welcome and I chose the vegetarian set menu at €15.95. I asked all the usual questions that vegans ask. The staff were very knowledgeable and happy to help. I really enjoyed my meal but the included dessert was not vegan so I missed out. Next time I may just choose from the vegan options on the Al a Carte menu. But all good and they provided a milk alternative for my tea. Extremely tasty chana masala and the vegetable samosa was great.

Pros: The atmosphere, vegan choices and the welcome.

Cons: No

Delicious meal and great service

They had lots of vegan options, all vegetarian dishes exept the ones with paneer are or could be vegan. I had samosas for starter, channa saag for main along with papadums and roti. Everything was delicious! A plus for having vegan bread options (roti and chapaiti).

The staff was very nice and caring. They even refilled our glasses when they were empty. Definitely going to eat here again!

Amazing food

100% recommended! The food is so good, best Indian food i’ve ever tasted. Staff is so kind and they can tell you what you can choose if you say you eat vegan. We went twice because we were so amazed the first time. Had Indian food before, but never this tasty. They open at 18:00 for dinner, after 19:30 it gets pretty crowded (completely understand that). So come early, or make a reservation. Or be lucky like we were.

Fabulous Indian Gem

This place was great! The food was absolutely delicious! Whenever people say the portions are huge, I never really think they are (big enough for me)! But sometimes, they really, really are! (Definitely true here)!

The staff were amazing and really helpful with the menu and whilst taking the order. Honestly, this is a gem - I will definitely visit again (even on this holiday).

Pros: Loads of vegan options, Really friendly, helpful staff, Great atmosphere

Good for big hunger

As I was informed you can order anything from vegetarian section (except paneer) and it will be vegan. Portions are huge and you can choose spice level.

Pros: Low price for big meal

Wow, so good.

I'm a sucker for Indian food but this one really made my day. The staff is super kind and they helped us pick out the vegan options (of which there were a lot). I took the vegetable Korma, which is mostly made with yoghurt, but they made it with coconut cream instead. So - damn - good. This might have been the best Indian I've eaten so far. My boyfriend took the dahl with garlic and chili rice, which was super good as well. Biiig portions, such a pity I couldn't finish it all!

They also serve you some kind of crisp before, which is vegan. It's served with a lot of sauces, but altough they told us they were all vegan, we were a bit sceptical about the yoghurt-looking one. So we just didn't eat that one.

Would definitely go back if I ever have the chance.

Pros: VERY good value for money, Lot's of vegan options, Kind staff

Delicious huge portions

The portion sizes are really deceiving. The vegetable Biryani is enough for 2 people without any extra side dishes. We tried a few different ones, and everything was extremely delicious. Some of the staff doesn't speak Portuguese, but they all speak English. You can leave extremely satisfied for just 10 euros per person because the food in incredibly cheap for such a touristy place.

Pros: Many vegan options, Spicy and non spicy foods, Open until late

Cons: Some waiters didn't speak portuguese, The "little spicy" Biryani was quite spicy

Absolutely delicious

The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable about what is vegan on the menu, which is most of the 'vegetables' section. I ate the daal fry, aloo matar, pilau and a roti and I have to say it's one of the best Indian meals I've ever had. And I've had a lot. 🙂

There's also a Kashmiri hot chutney served with the popadums which is incredible.

Although this place isn't fully vegan, if you're in Madeira and you're hungry for amazing vegan food, this is among the best.

Pros: Lots of delicious vegan options, Staff are really knowledgeable , Super friendly and reasonably priced

Cons: Omni

Opciones veganas y platos contundentes

Personal muy amable y atento, el dueño del local muy atento sobretodo al preguntar si los platos eran veganos o no.

La comida deliciosa, eso sí, hay que ir con hambre o ir al mediodía porque la cantidad de los platos es generosa. Nosotros fuimos a cenar y salimos llenisimos.

Un sitio para volver a repetir

Pros: Opciones veganas (preguntando siempre al personal)

Amazing, will be back

This restaurant was outstanding. We went here because of the reviews on here and it is difficult to find vegan options in Madeira.

This restaurant was everything we hoped for. The best Indian I have had in a long time. A very good selection of vegetarian dishes, and the menu said to ask for vegan as many can be tweaked. I had the vegan jalfrezi and it was excellent. Curry portions average, rice portions served 2.

My partner enjoyed his meat dishes too.

Good English - they understand what vegan is and also were good about my nut allergy.

We took most of our food for takeaway but despite this (covering 2 dinners of our holiday) we will be back!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Friendly staff, Good English

Cons: Uphill , Busy road

Fabulous! Very vegan friendly

So happy to eat here (twice so far). It’s quite difficult to find properly vegan food here. The owner and staff understand exactly what vegans can and can’t eat and are happy to explain how things are prepared and alter where necessary. The food is extremely good, staff are lovely and very helpful. I feel very comfortable eating here and will be back again soon. With so many options it will take me quite a few visits to try everything. Don’t walk past the small entrance, the large restaurant is downstairs.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Staff understand vegan, Excellent food

Cons: Easy to miss when looking for it

Very large portions

I'm not sure if the waiters take vegan food that seriously. When I asked if the starter (bread and chutney) were also vegan, I got the answer "yes, of course, all of it is vegan" and I still got a yogurt sauce. Nevertheless, there is a large selection of delicious vegan dishes. Unfortunately, the menu is very confusing and it is difficult to understand. the portions are very large and (with a starter) are actually enough for two people.

Great food and very vegan friendly

The food was really good and the waiter was very nice and helped explain what was vegan on the menu or what could be changed to be vegan, there were a lot of options wich made it hard to choose :D
The prices are fair and so are the portions, in my experience one of the best indian food I had in a while.

Pros: Szybka obsługa, Ceny stosunkowo niskie, Z restauracji widok na ocean
