Good indian food! 🙂

You can get there a few vegan starters and main dishes. We ordered onion bhaji as a starter and roti, aloo gobi, vegetable curry. Everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly! ☺️

Pros: Vegan dishes, Friendly service

Small portions for price but good

Plenty of vegan starter and main options. Expensive with small portions but on par for the area.

Best Indian food around

I tried Indian food for the first time yesterday. I was skeptical because I'm a picky eater; however, this food made my senses tingle - in the good way. Would highly recommend this to anyone. Great cultural option if you want to add some stimulation to your taste buds!!!

Pros: Food, Bathrooms , Service

Cons: None, A whole lot of nothing , Absolutely non existent

Not great but not many options in bar harbor

Our server pointed out to us which dishes were vegan, which was nice, and the service was quick. However, we were very disappointed with our food (we ordered the pakoras, the dal tadka, and the Chana masala). We both asked for medium and got very little spice, which is understandable in the area, but the flavor of the food was also lacking, personally I’ve had better curries from a can. The pakoras were unlike any pakoras I’ve had in my life, and they were served with ketchup, which was also unusual and unpleasant. Our food was also overpriced.

Pros: Vegan options, Knowledgeable staff

Cons: Mediocre food, Overpriced

delicious curries and great people

probably the nicest people I’ve experienced in a long time at a restaurant, this is compounded by great food and good prices. We sat outdoors and I ordered the jackfruit curry which is special to this place. It seems a rare find on indian menus and it was super good.

Delicious Indian Food in Bar Harbor

We stopped in here after hiking Cadillac Mountain and it was the perfect food to satisfy and satiate us after a morning of hiking. All the staff were so nice and the food was delicious! We ordered vegetable pakora, jackfruit curry, yellow dal and tandoori roti and it all hit the spot. Would come back again and again

Many vegan options

My husband, two year old daughter, and I ate there a couple days ago. We appreciate how they ask if you want it mild, medium, or hot. The vegetable pakora was so good that my daughter was all over them. I loved the jackfruit curry and roti too.

Good vegan choices

I ordered the pakora app. Not as good as at home and they served it with ketchup( yuk). I got jackfruit curry which was raves about on here. I thought was ok. My cousin got Chana masala. It was missing something.

Pros: Downtown

Cons: Not awesome

Nice food and staff

You do have to ask about dairy free options as they only list items as vegetarian. But they were really helpful and knowledgeable on the menu. We had onion bahji, aloo Gobi, and jackfruit curry (I've never seen that before and was delicious). Definitely worth a visit.

Good vegan options, friendly staff

Great Indian restaurant in Bar Harbor. The menu has clearly labeled vegetarian options, many of which can be made vegan. Our server was very friendly and fully knowledgable about what is vegan. I had the vegetable curry (perfect with medium spice level) and roti. Would definitely return if I visit the area in the future.

Good veg option in Bar Habor

Great little place for takeout after hiking all day in Acadia National Park. We got samosas and pakoras and were presently pleased with the flavors of both. A little pricey for Indian food but it’s Bar Harbor so that’s understandable.

Pros: Quick takeout , Food fresh and prepared well, Vegan classic options

Cons: A little pricey

Yummy pakora

The owners are very kind and were able to tell us which entrees are vegan. I loved the aloo gobi and veggie pakora. My vegetarian husband got the palak paneer, and nothing was left of his food at the end of our meal. The spices were just right, and this was such a treat after a cold day outside in late fall. Royal Indian has outdoor seating with plenty of heaters. Inside, it is comfortable and welcoming.

Pros: Knowledgable about vegan food, Gluten free options clearly labeled, Very kind folks working here

Excellent

The options are marked vegetarian, but the staff knew instantly which to point out as vegan.

5 of the 6 dishes we tried were excellent and the remaining one very good.

The staff very friendly.

We'll definitely be coming back when we're in the area.

Pros: Excellent vegan options., Moderate price, Friendly staff

Cons: I could wish for more vegan options

Healthier Indian Preparations

The owner and his staff was outstandingly friendly. I did a combination of the Jackfruit Curry and the Saag. Loved it. Thank heavens there was less oil on all the dishes. They said no ghee ... but I'm not confident about that.

Pros: Definitely vegetarian options

Cons: Ghee

Not bad at all

I had low expectations coming in and left sated. Vegan options aren't indicated on the menu, but the staff is knowledgeable and will recommend accordingly. We ordered the dal tadka and the jackfruit curry, which were passable albeit somewhat underspiced. Service was fast and casual. Given the abysmal vegan dining scene in Bar Harbor, this restaurant is truly a godsend!

Pros: vegan options

Cons: underspiced food, fast service

Many options, dog friendly and delicious

Had lunch here just before it got busy. Very happy to find this dog-friendly place with so many vegan options. The staff was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about ingredients. My son had the Dal soup, which was good. I had the Aloo Gobi with roti. I asked for mild and it was very good, but I probably could have asked for mild/medium. I would definitely order it again, but I want to try one of the many other options on the menu. Good quality food, great service, worth the price.

Pros: Friendly & knowledgeable staff, Lots of vegan options, Dog friendly

Great food and service!

There are many vegan options as is the case in most Indian restaurants. Let the server know you are vegan and they will be sure to accommodate. Had the samosa and chana masala. Enough for 2 people!

Lots of vegan options, good Indian food

I highly appreciate the clear labeling of vegan options here and it’s often difficult to find vegan food at Indian restaurants.
They even had a jackfruit curry which I ordered and was very good - for my personal taste, it could have been more seasoned and spiced but it was good.
One of the few places in Bar Harbor with lots of vegan options!
Only did takeout, so can’t speak for the service, but the restaurant looked and smelled nice!

Pros: Lots of labeled vegan options, Even more vegetarian options

Cons: Could be seasoned more
