One of the best Indian Restaurants

We ate here twice since the food was so good. Every vegetarian dish can be made vegan. They cook a little salty, but for me it was perfect. I can definitely recommend!

Not bad at all

Although funnily enough I think the Indian restaurants back in New Zealand are better. The food came out quickly and a good portion which I was stoked about (forgive the photo I already got stuck in) but the spices were very minimal aside from one bite which was ott. I usually don’t mix up the curry as it’s served to me but lesson learned perhaps? Fairly standard prices in Laos, not a bad spot if you’re craving Indian.

Pros: Good portion size, Price

Cons: Undercooked on the generosity with the spices

Enttäuschend

Es gibt eine große Auswahl an veganen Gerichten. Ich entschied mich für Cauliflower with peas in a sauce, dazu Chiapate und indischen Milktea. Das Gericht war für meinen Geschmack leider zu viel ge- um nicht zu sagen versalzen. Der Tee hat auch kaum eine indische Note. Preis: 95.000 Lak

Pros: Das Essen wurde rasch serviert

Delicious and cheap Indian food

My girlfriend and I visited this Indian restaurant two times and perhaps we will do it a third time, because it is soo good😄
We tried the Samosa, Dal Fry, Vegetable Curry and Chana Massala and all of the we would recommend. To drink we will recommend the Lime Shake too. It is a 10/10

Pros: Delicious , Indian, Cheap

Cons: Ambiente could be better

Great veggie vegan options

A really good authentic feeling Indian restaurant. Make sure you let them know you’re vegan and ask for not butter/cream in things. Samosas are great

Delicious vegan Indian

The entrees and curries were delicious, the owner speaks good English and understands vegan. But the naan was trash, way too thin and crispy/burnt.

Decent

Firstly they have moved, they are now situated opposite Dara Market on Kingkitsarath Road.
The food was nice enough, we had the Aloo Methi, Dal Fry, Vegetable Jalfrazi, Rice & Chapatis. The Lime juice was extremely good.
We asked for really spicy and the owner ( i think) looked puzzled (he did ask how spicy we wanted it). It was not very spicy, maybe a medium spice. The aloo methi was nice but very oily. The vegetable jalfrazi was different to any jalfrazi we've had before, it was like a sauted dry veg dish (again nice enough just unexpected) dal was good, simple and as expected.

The staff seemed pretty uninterested in us and almost annoyed so if youre looking for attentive caring staff probably not the best place but if you have an indian craving to fix it'll probably hit the spot.

We did both find it repeated on us later. I've never had acid reflux / indigestion before but did find I had very acidic burps later that night. Unsure if this can be entirely blamed on this restaurant though.

The tastiest Indian I've ever had

Oh my gosh this was off the charts. I got a vegan Tofu ball dish. It was also gluten free and so insanely tasty. Would 100% recommend.

the price is right

We were served by the owner (I think) who was very friendly and his high school aged daughter who had just the right amount of attitude!

When we ordered vegan options they double checked what we did and didn't eat. Vegetable jalfrezi and chana masala were both quite salty, rich and flavourful but even though we asked for them spicy, neither were particularly hot. The chana was particularly unusual, with a thick sauce that was a bit creamy, not tomato-based. The chapatti was fresh and crispy and good for dipping.

All round a decent meal but perhaps a bit stodgy and quite oily, I was almost surprised I didn't feel sick afterwards!

Not the best indian place

Prices are not the same than on the pic. Vegetarian dishes cost 22K. The eggplant curry was really goood. But the 2 samossas (for 10k kips) are not tasty. No flavors. Rice and breads are so expensive!! 10k kips for a chapati or a garlic naan (not really good)

Pros: Too expensive for what it is

Could be better

I ordered dhal fry and rice. I had way better Indian dishes then that. Even rice didn't have any taste. As an Indian restaurant they have vegetarian and non-vegetarian options on their menu.

Highly recommended!

My wife and I went here multiple times during our stay in Luang Prabang. They had no problem making the vegetarian dishes vegan for us. The food was quite delicious too!

Soooooo good

The food is just amazing, with many vegetarian options, the stuff is welcoming and friendly, they speak perfect english, which is a huge help when you want to order vegan food in Asia. Nice surprise, will come back for sure!

Surprisingly good!

I got the garlic naan and the vegan cauliflower/potato curry to go and I really enjoyed it! They understand vegan vs vegetarian and have great flavors. Be careful of the spicy!

Better than expected

Good Indian food! All vegy stuff can be made vegan buy replacing ghee with coconut oil, and staff were aware of that. The nan bread was also vegan which is great as it isn't in most restaurants.

The dhal fry, chana masala and aloo gobi were all good. Unfortunately didn't have any dosa when we visited even though its on the menu.

20K kip a curry

Pros: Lots of options

Cons: Not marked as vegan

Pretty good, enjoyable

Overall, the food was nice. I asked for my curry medium to spicy but it was mild. Still tasty. The owner seemed really friendly when sitting outside welcoming me in but outright ignored my conversation once I had sat down. A bit odd!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Fairly priced

Cons: Owner comes across a bit abrasive , Slightly small portions

Bon indien pour l'Asie

Lassi très bon mais ne pas prendre de cheese Nan ça n'a rien à voir avec nos cheese Naan en France. Prendre un Nan tour court. Les prix ont un peu augmentés, tous les plats végétariens sont à 20 milles kip. Mais le service est très agréable et cela change des plats asiatiques !

Pros: Beaucoup d'options Vegan et vege

Cons: Un petit peu cher pour la quantité

Delicious!

The food here is SO GOOD! There is a huge veggie selection, the owners speak English well and fully understood what I meant when I said I was vegan. They can pretty much make any veggie meal vegan as they can use coconut milk and oil instead of ghee. Even the naan bread was vegan! We went everyday because the food was so so so delicious! It’s not super cheap but nowhere in Luang Prabang is. All veggie curries were 20,000 and rice was 8,000. I would 100% recommend this place the food was amazing and such friendly people working there!

DEFINITELY GO!

Ate dinner 2/3 nights while I was in Luang Prabang... Wish I'd have eaten there every night... the staff is super friendly, super aware and familiar of veganism and will happily adjust dishes to be vegan. EVERYTHING I've had was full of flavour, fresh and just amazing. Had dosa, naan breads, dhaal, aubergine with sauce, korma (OMG!) and chickpea masala....Do yourself a favour and visit this place! Wish I could give 5 stars.

Pros: Epic food , extensive menu, staff knows about vegan dishes

Best indian food

Extremely kind and helpful, probably the best indian food I have ever eaten (friends agree), we had a few requests(vegan, No oil, No salt) and they had no problem making it just like we wanted it! Very familiar with pure vegetarian/vegan cooking and they use No msg. The owner has been making indian & muslim food for 30 years and I can assure you, he knows what he’s doing. We came back serveral times during our stay and they remembered exactly how we wanted our food. Very friendly and extremely good service! I would really recommend heate aloo, aloo mutter and anything in “the green sauce”. The dishes are super cheap as well, most of the dishes was under 2$! A lot of non veg options! Would give 5 star if possible but Nisha gotta turn 100% veg for that! Let’s hope they will :)

Pros: Delicious food, Lots of vegan options, So cheap

lovely staff, lovelier food

The staff were so helpful and friendly. We wanted Dosas and they said they only do them once a week as they aren’t popular among tourists, but promised to make them for us special if we returned the following day. Which they followed through on.
After eating here three times, we ate a final fourth time at their airport establishment and the owner (who had been there the other times) gave us some free drinks for the plane ride.
Not to mention the food was cheap and absolutely delicious and authentic.

Rude staff

Didn't actually eat here but just wanted to make my comment on very unfriendly staff. I was going to order but wanted to make sure the vegetarian dishes didn't contain milk either. Staff send the owner over because his English was better. Guy was VERY rude and aggressive in his approach. "Indian sauce is Indian sauce". I asked again what's in the sauce, does it have milk?. He repeated the Indian sauce was Indian sauce, almost yelling at me with a very 'either take it or leave it' attitude. Dishes might be vegan friendly but owner defenitelty isn't.
