One of the first vegan/vegetarian restos in BA - Edit
It was one of the first vegan/vegies restos in the city back more than 20 years ago and they deserve a ++ for being in the frontline. I went couple of times and it was good, nowadays with so many amazing vegan restos in the city, I am not sure if they are on top of the market. Gotta try soon on my next trip to BA!

Indian without any spice - Edit
Indian vegetarian restaurant with vegan options clearly indicated. We tried a mixture of both options but all were bland without any flavours or spice or heat. Being Indian origin we were left unsatisfied.

Delicious Indian Food! - Edit
Tons of vegan options clearly marked. We had samosas, potato & pea curry, and super vegan sandwich w/ seitan. Everything was scrumptious and service was exceptional. Speaks English and has English menu if needed.

Much improved - Edit
The first time I went here a few years ago there were not many vegan options but that has changed. I got the thali, and the food was tasty. I would like if they food was a bit more spicy (hot) but I think Argentinians don't like spicy food that much. Anyway, it is a decent option if you are in the area.

Average - Edit
Based on the reviews, I wasn't expecting much of this place and no surprise. Poor service. Food ok but it tasted more Mediterranean than Indian. It's OK for a quick lunch but no more

Very boring food - Edit
Seems like the only spice they use is salt and pepper. Not your typical indian food... very boring and unsatisfying.

Good Food, Great Staff and location - Edit
Located right in Palermo SOHO, excellent location. Easy to get to. Thali as well as Kachori was great. I took a thali from here on my trip to Iguazu Falls! Satidevi speaks good English and the staff makes food with love and makes you feel at home - thanks!

Indian-inspired veggie in Palermo - Edit
Krishna is located in Palermo, just a few minutes from where we're staying, so we decided to check it out.
Read moreIt's a little pricey, but seems to be about average for the neighbourhood. The venue seems quirky, and it has a lovely atmosphere with a very friendly staff, but the low seating wasn't particularly comfortable.
They have a separate English language menu, as well as a menu with only their vegan options. This hits a stumbling point if you don't speak/read Spanish, because the English menu doesn't note which dishes are vegan.
As other reviewers have mentioned, there isn't a lot of variety on the menu here, but we enjoyed the things we ordered. Worth noting, this is the only place we've seen in Buenos Aires so far that serves alcohol-free beer! I was in straightedge vegan heaven. The potato and pea curry with coconut rice was delicious, very mild but this allowed the more subtle flavours to come through.
Pros: Alcohol free beer, English language menu, Vegan menu
Cons: Uncomfortable seating

Muy buena opción - Edit
Un lugar acogedor en el medio de Palermo Hollywood. El menú es variado pero se basa más en platos hindúes. Tiene opciones veganas. Muy recomendable.

good food - Edit
The food was good, I had bifecitos de seitan with their veggie contorno. The restaurant itself is cozy in a sort of kitsch-krishna way. Good location.

Bad Service, High Price. - Edit
I did not like this place.
Read moreToo expensive, the staff is rude and the food is just ok.
The place is beautiful, true... But that only made me expect more than they actually deliver.
I do not recommend.
Pros: Beautiful place
Cons: High Price, Rude Staff, Under delivers

Expected a bit more... - Edit
This place is located in a very fancy area of Buenos Aires, Palermo neighborhood. Thus the high price is expected - I spent some 90 pesos in an indian dish.
Read moreHowever I also expected the food to be unbelievably good and the portion to be well served - given the salty price... and I was somehow disappointed. Don't go there if you're starving (which was my case). You'll leave there wanting more food.
It is a bit far away from the subway (Line D - Scalabrini Ortiz station is the closest), I don't think the 8 block walking plus bus or metro would pay off the visit if you're staying in areas such as the Microcentro.
The ambience and the staff are very nice though. It's all decorated with Indian/esoteric motives and it's very relaxing.
Pros: nice ambient, friendly staff
Cons: small portions, too far away, expensive

Very nice waitress, the food was a bit bland but okay, especially for that price. I'll probably drop by for lunch again if I'm in the neighborhood.

Krishna Veggie Lunch, Buenos Aires - Edit
Despite the potentially misleading name, this place is open in the evenings as well as at lunch time. What isn't misleading from the name is that this place is a Hare Krishna eatery.
Read moreThere's seats outside and 2 rooms inside one of which thankfully is airconed. There's a menu in English as well as Spanish. I went twice and on each occasion the person serving me didn't speak any English. I asked what was vegano and this seemed to be perfectly understood. The girl who served me 1st time in particular was very nice.
I asked about the thali and was told this could be adapted for vegans. It was pretty good and more than enough to fill me without the need for anything else. 2nd time I went I had the millet croquettes which were served with a pretty boring salad.
There's a standing charge for eating in of 6 pesos added to the tab. Even so this place was good value with the tahli being under 50 pessos. Location is in Palermo.
Pros: Vegan friendly

Beautiful ambience, average food - Edit
Krishna has a beautiful space, with low seating, recorded chant music, colorful setting, and a bright, light setting on a quiet street. The menu is ala carte and is not very extensive, and relies heavily on seitan and tofu. The 2 of us ordered the thali, kachori, empanada of the day and the millet croquet along with ginger lemonade. The lemonade was a small serving but very refreshing. The rest of the items, specially the empanadas and the kachori were on the bland side. Even though chutneys were provided as relish, we were not able to finish it all. For an inexpensive city for veg food like BA, the total bill was on the high side.

We had a terrible experience - Edit
So we both love Indian food, and really wanted to check this place out. After spending a few hours trying to find it, we were ready to eat! When we entered the place, we were very excited, and were seated and brought a vegan dip which was very good. Then we told them that we were vegan, and they got a little weirded out. We asked them if they could make us something from the menu, but vegan, and they basically told us that the only vegan food they had was a salad. When I told them that if I wanted a salad, I could have eaten anywhere, they offered us a different salad. We told them that if the only vegan food a vegetarian restaurant could offer was a salad, than we would eat elsewhere, they sent us on our way. We ate at Bio instead, which is not far from here in a taxi.
Read morePros: Vegan dip
Cons: Staff, Apparantly no vegan food
