Give in to temptation - Edit
Once up the stairs, you are greeted by a well appointed restaurant with great views of the Abbey which looked especially good lit up at night.
Read moreThere is a separate vegan menu and you are struck immediately by the reasonable prices.
The onion Bhaji to start was superb. Rather than the usual ball, they came in strips which meant they were really crispy and avoided the chickpea flour goo you sometimes get in Bhajis. The accompanying chutney was also delicious. The menu said there was kale in the bhajis and although there were flecks of green, I’m not sure it added a huge amount but that is a minor issue when the dish is so delicious.
The bhel puri was a very large portion and although I enjoyed it, it could have done with some peanuts, potato and onion as is usually in the bhel puri I have had in the past. A bit more tamarind sauce would also have lifted the dish.
These small issues were forgotten once the outstanding mains were tasted. The masala dosa was perfect; Crisp pancake, soft, well spiced potato interior and tasty chutney and curry sauce. The baby aubergine curry was fantastic, a subtle but rich sauce that complimented the creamy aubergine. The paratha was flakey and perfect for mopping up the outstanding sauce.
An excellent meal.
Pros: Separate vegan menu, Well priced, good portions , Delicious

Vegan menu! - Edit
And the normal menu seems to be fully veggie! Always feels so special to have a completely specially-made menu. Had the tandoori broccoli, baby aubergine masala with rice, and paratha. All amazing, definitely the best Indian food I've had in a long time!

Good, but disappointing pudding - Edit
The view was great and the staff were friendly and helpful. Service was about the right speed and the food was tasty on the whole. The bhel poori starter was large tasty, and deceptively spicy. For main I had aloo gobi. This was lovely. Dessert was the only disappointing part of the meal. The semolina pudding was ok but rather bland.

One of the best Indian meals I've had! - Edit
Waow. This place blew me away. Vegan menu, friendly staff and outstanding food. I got a daal, okra curry and masala dosa, split between my partner and I. The okra curry was amazing! As was the masala dosa, and the dal too. Honestly couldn't fault it. Looks right over Bath Abbey too. I'd honestly pop back to bath to eat here again!

Veggie/Vegan delight - Edit
I don’t know how I’ve missed this place in past, but now I’ve discovered it I’ll be back for more. What a treat! An Indian restaurant that is all veggie or vegan. No little vegan add on (if you’re lucky) to the menu here, you get a proper vegan menu. Had the Thali & it was delicious.

Lots of options but heavy on stomach - Edit
- Lots of vegan options in starters as well as main course
Read more- Our taste buds loved it very much but our tummies didn’t agree on both the occasions we went there and it took us two days to feel normal again.
- It’s a little too heavy on salt and oil and the dosa/pancake was a little too fermented which is probably what caused the discomfort

Delicious vegan menu - Edit
Ask for the vegan menu - it's a separate thing from the veggie menu.
Read moreLoads of choice - some very familiar and some less so - everything we tried was very flavourful. Kale and onion bhaji starter was fab. Jalfrezi had great flavour but not as spicy as they often are. We tried the dried mint paratha as we'd not noticed it on a menu before - goes really well with the curries.
Freshly squeezed juices and homemade lemonade were great.
Prices v reasonable.
Fantastic view of the abbey from our table!
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Homemade feel, Friendly, attentive service
Cons: Not all vegan, Would've loved a vegan mango lassi

BEST TRIP OUT - Edit
Fully enjoyed our meal at Indian Temptation. A real hidden gem!! Service was incredible, separate vegan menu and they even brought out a birthday cupcake when they found out it was one of our parties birthdays. Very impressed and we will definitely be back!

Best Indian Food (Even my non veggie family love it!) - Edit
I stumbled across Indian Temptation on this app when looking for a place that my father (non vegan/veggie, follows a keto diet) and myself (vegan) could go for dinner! We find it really hard getting a restaurant that both of us have good options at, but Indian temptation Hits. The. Spot! They're fully vegetarian, with a full (not just one or two token options, oh no) Vegan menu! We had a selection of starters, all cooked fresh and absolutely delicious, the Daahl and the Korma. My dad, who generally dislikes dishes that dont contain meat, loved the vegetable korma SO MUCH that we even ordered and extra portion for take out so that he could show it to my mother! I've been raving about it to every vegan/veggie in the south west who will listen, and have been twice in the last two weeks! All the staff are lovely, the service is fabulous, the food is spot on every time, and I'm always pleasantly surprised upon getting the very reasonably priced bill! Oh, and if you're a tourist - there are fabulous views of bath abbey from the window! :)

Service was poor - Edit
When asked to accommodate dietary restrictions, I was given a immediate response that it was not possible. This is surprising since many dishes on the menu did meet my requirements but the waitress simply didn’t bother to consult the chef. I have had friends go there before with no issues in ordering these items.

Scrumptious Vegan Indian! - Edit
The food was delicious! They have a really great vegan menu and everything looked fantastic! We had the samosas, broccoli and aubergine tandoori and all of it was so tasty! It was the first vegan Indian meal we have ever had as only been vegan for 3 weeks but it was so delicious there’s no going back! We only hope that our local Indian restaurant has the same variety.

Hidden gem! - Edit
From the street there is just a sign and a set of stairs so I can see why it could be overlooked by som. But after my omni boyfriend and I had read the reviews on here we decided to check it out for dinner and were not disappointed! We had a 'tapas' platter each (North Indian is vegetarian and South Indian is vegan) and were treated to a selection of amazing curries. It's a vegetarian restaurant but the separate vegan menu was a nice touch, although had to ask specifically for it.
Read morePros: delicious food, friendly and helpful staff, fair price for the quality of food

Great food and ambience - Edit
When you enter an Indian restaurant and most of the customers are Indian you know that the food is going to be good. With a calm ambience and humble staff adding to the appeal of this place I thoroughly recommend it.
Read morePros: Vegetarian with a separate vegan menu.

Yummy and well priced! - Edit
Really friendly and well informed staff. Fast service.
Read moreFood was satisfying and delicious. I ordered a lentil stew which I found to be more of a thick soup and a little spicier that I expected but otherwise the food was honestly lovely. Even my omni husband was happy.
It’s a shame I wasn’t visiting the city for longer as I would definitely love to give my repeat business.
Can’t recommend this restaurant enough!

Non greasy and vegan friendly - Edit
Unlike many other Indian restaurants which are drenched in oil, the food here is comparably light.
Read moreThe vegan thali was very satisfying - the eggplant dish was fantastic. The dessert was a bit of a let down so I wouldn't recommend getting it off the regular menu (semolina).

Amazing flavours! - Edit
I found this place through the happy cow app as I was looking for vegan food in bath. I arrived on a Wednesday evening to a single door leading to a staircase. I climbed the stairs to find the restaurant packed but luckily they had a little table by the window.
Read moreThey explained it was a veggie restaurant and when I told them I was vegan they brought me a separate menu.
I had the garlic mushrooms which I must say was the best vegan dish I’ve ever had. They were coated in a sticky spicy coating and tasted a little like sticky garlic ribs! They were truly amazing!
Main course was vegetable korma, again full of flavour and delicious. I’ve eaten in a few vegan/veggie places in Bath but this is now my favourite. Great food and because there’s no meat, it’s great value too! I will definitely be back!
Pros: Separate vegan menu, Reasonably priced, Friendly staff
Cons: Service a little slow
