Excellent vegan Indian

The vegan menu here is huge, no less than 61 items according to their website! Went on a Sunday night and the restaurant was buzzing which shows it must be good - even despite the mess of roadworks currently out the front that makes access a little trickier.

Inside the chairs and tables were quite cramped (the front section at least) so squeezing in and out of your chair was awkward.

The vegan butter chicken here was the best I’ve ever had though, what a treat! Love that they have vegan alternatives for butter, cream, chicken, cheese etc, that make many traditional Indian dishes off limits. So nice to have some of the old favourites.

Pros: excellent vegan menu, well priced, authentic & full-flavoured

Cons: a bit cramped inside

Superb! Great food, prices and staff

Wow. The place is really vegan forward. The whole wine list is vegan. You are allowed to byo bottled wine.

The separate vegan menu was extensive and thoughtful.

We had the samosa chaat and soy chicken madras and methi parantha. Parking is a bit challenging due to roadworks, aim for a back street.

Pros: Really really good food, Friendly , Open Mondays

Don’t leave the GC without a visit!

Just a 15 min drive from Surfers Paradise, this restaurant was amazing. From the food, to the service, to the separate vegan menu with so many options. Wanted to give a 5 star rating but wasn’t able due to It not being a strictly vegan restaurant. Hands down, best curry I’ve had in Australia.

Pros: Separate vegan menu, So many option, Great service

Delicious.

Going by the recommendation of our favourite app, we ended up at Temple of Spice.

We shared two starters (Indian street food) and a main and it was all very tasty.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Vegan Butter chicken (first time seeing/having it), Good portion sizes

BEST Indian Restaurant

Always a favourite when visiting the Gold Coast! Their vegan curries are the best. Cosy atmosphere to fine in and I would recommend booking as it’s not very big.

The vegan options they offer are hard to find anywhere in Brisbane! The butter chicken and korma with garlic naan are always my go to.

Pros: Vegan curries, Vegan garlic naan, Cosy restaurant

Full vegan menu

Great to see a place with a full vegan menu, with tradionally vege curries but also versions of indian classics.

Pros: Can choose protein / vegies, Full vegan menu incl entrees and breads, Good flavours

Cons: Bit pricey, rice not included with meal, Curries could be creamier, We ordered too much bread 😜

So much to choose from

Loved that most items had a vegan option. Mango lassi was great. Food had good flavour. Space was a bit small for a bigger group but had nice decor

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Good flavour , Nice decor

You will not regret going here

A pleasant surprise after lots of mediocre vegan food on the Gold Coast... Despite not being a fully vegan (or even vegetarian) restaurant the chef here really know how to cook amazing vegan meals and the portion sizes are very generous. One of the best restaurants we went to on this trip 😋

A great little restaurant

We love this place. The staff were really nice, the food was amazing. They have a fully dedicated vegan menu, they serve the exact same meals as their non vegan menu but it’s obviously vegan, so no missing out!!
Great experience, we will definitely be back!

Great tasting food

We booked a table at the last minute and I was surprised we could get in. They have a full vegan menu and it is extensive. We ordered some naan, and onion bhajee and I ordered the butter tofu as my main. You could choose vegetables, tofu or soy chicken. They were very busy but the food came out quickly. I ordered medium spice and it was really tasty. The servings were generous and it was reasonably priced.
Service was good.

Fabulous Indian food, amazing flavours, seperate vegan menu, affordable banquet options

We stumbled across this place due to its proximity to our hotel... saw that it had vegan in the title and gave it a whirl. There is a fabulously large menu including seperate vegan menu with both banquet and a la carte options. We chose the vegan buffet even though my husband eats meat as it looked so tasty. Every single dish was devine... so tasty and full of flavour. There was so much food we had to take some home but every dish was superb. The vegan garlic naan was a highlight.. not dry at all and even stuffed with "cheese". The curries and entrees were just so good. We eat and cook Indian food a lot and this was some of the best we've ever eaten. We are only here for a week and will go back and take the kids before we leave! Lovely atmosphere and very attentive staff. Highly recommended and so glad we went there tonight!

Pros: Large vegan menu, Attentive service, Large and affordable banquet options

Cons: Not a vegetarian restaurant , Relatively small capacity

Fantastic vegan food!

This food is fantastic but a teeny bit too sweet for my liking. Went there a second time and got medium spice instead of mild and it was perfect!

Pros: Whole seperate vegan menu, Friendly staff, Fast service
