L’indiano vegano che volevo

Tantissimi piatti già vegani e praticamente tutti (o quasi) con opzione vegana. Prezzi onesti e porzioni abbondanti. Da quando ha aperto ci vado tutte le settimane. I dosa sono fantastici. Consigliatissimo

Heavenly

I have been to one of these chain restaurants in London. This one in Rome did not disappoint- delicious just like in Southall 😁

Welcome change from Pasta and Pizza

We have been to other restaurants of this chain and weren't disappointed. The menu is indeed a bit overwhelming but the waiter offered us help and recommendations. We ended up taking Aloo Ghobi and Vegetable dosa - delicious and filling (just be aware that you have to order rice or bread seperately, it's not included in the curry price). The staff is very helpful and the atmosphere friendly and welcoming. Hope to come back and tey some of their other dishes.

Great option for veg Indian food

Part of an international chain, they have a massive menu on offer. Had the north Indian thali which was a bit pricey but taste was good

Reliable option for good South Indian food

It's always great to find a Saravanaa Bhavan near the train station of a city for a quick bite. It's pretty good food, with so many options, and it's relatively affordable (although portion sizes can be on the smaller side). This time, we tried a vegetable uthappam for the first time and it was very good!

Nice!

We ordered several dishes. One was very spicy, but overall, the food was delicious and quite unique. The staff was friendly, and ordering through the app was convenient. However, the menu with lots of pictures was overwhelming, and it wasn't always clear what was vegan. The staff should explicitly confirm vegan preferences to avoid any potential mix-ups.

Great food

Food was lovely. Menu was a bit overwhelming and didn't like the qr code scanning as made menu even harder to navigate. Ended up needing a physical menu. Vegan options shown in physical menu but not on the qr code menu. Most of it is vegan.

Pros: Fresh taste, Crunchy veg, Great choice

Cons: Venue hard to navigate

Smaakvol

Veel verschillende gerechten, ik heb er een paar geprobeert en ze waren goed van smaak. Binnen is het wel klein om te zitten, dus zorg ervoor dat je reserveert.

Pros: Veel keuze, Lekkere smaken, Vriendelijk personeel

Cons: Kleine ruimte om te zitten

Best Indian food in Rome

My go-to place for a delicious Indian meal. I normally opt for home delivery, but the restaurant venu is quite nice and the staff are very friendly.

Lots of vegan options

We tried going to a vegan place down the street but we didn’t have a reservation so they wouldn’t take us. We came here instead and roughly half of the menu was vegan. They didn’t have an English menu and there weren’t a whole lot of pictures so we translated a few words on our phones here and there and eventually just pointed at things that had a vegan (V) next to them. Lots of flavor, and filling portions. Lots of spice.

Pros: Clearly marked vegan options

Cons: Slightly hard to read menu

Best Indian food I have ever tried

Went to this place when I needed a change from all the Italian food I had been eating and was pleasantly surprised. The menu is many pages long, a lot of the items on the menu are vegan and almost all of those who aren’t can be made vegan. Loved it so much I ended up going there again and wish I had had the time to go there many more times. Tried the Rasam soup, Vegetable spring rolls, Vegetable noodles and the Channa masala. Every single thing I tried tasted amazing. Cozy place and great service. Best Indian food I have ever tried - only wish they had a restaurant in my country.

Pros: Great food, Many vegan options, Great service

Vegan Indian Food Experience!

Great option if you want something else than pizza and pasta for a day in Rome! Started with a delicious soup and fried mushrooms. After that I had a tasty curry with roti. The food is spicy, but exactly the right amount! Many vegetarian and vegan dishes. Make sure to mention the Vegan option for your dish!

Pros: Tasty Food, Low prices, Very Fast Service

Tasty Indian fare

Great food and service. You’re served your food very quickly if you order street food, more slowly if you order anything else, but it is worth the wait either way. About a 10 minute walk from Termini.

Good food

Well priced for what I got, small portion but good. Quick service.
Just be careful when you pay. My bill was €23.50. As I walked away I got an email from cc company letting my know that the charge was 35.67. I walked back to the restaurant to correct their mistake. He show me the receipt that he had which was €32.50. He apologized. I asked for €9 back in cash. Now this incident had never happened to me before. Honest mistake, the benefit of the doubt. Luckily my cc always send me a notification a few seconds after a charge. In my opinion, he intended to cheat!!! Beware!!!

A bit expensive

I've been to other places of this same chain and this one seems to be more fancy - nicer interior, better service, but also a bit more expensive. The food is tasty though.

Pros: Tasty

Cons: Portions seem to be a bit small for the price

Amazing experience

80% of the menu is vegetarian, the rest is vegan. Incredibly adaptive and friendly. We have traveled a lot and never seen so many options for vegi and vegan in one place.

Cons: No negatives we could see from our visit
