Wonderful vegan meal!

The samosas were so fragrant and a wonderful texture on the pastry. The onion bhaji didn't disappoint also. For mains we had Karahi (medium heat, or the other option was lower heat) - it was quite hot, if you're not used to heat! I enjoyed the heat personally. The Kathmandu I think it was called, or special Nepalese curry, was very flavourful but not as hot chilli wise. The staff are so lovely and they have a separate vegan/veggie menu, but you might need to check which dishes are vegan before ordering. The samosas and onion bhaji were beautifully flavoured and aromatic and melt in the mouth. I would absolutely ask for the vegan samosas. Stunning!

Excellent Indian restaurant

This is up a side street from a main square. There is a full vegan menu which I loved - so many choices! I ordered the lentil Dahl soup then the chana masala with plain rice and saag aloo. They also offered me a chapati cooked vegan style. Everything was delicious, with friendly and helpful service. Definitely worth a visit.

Would 100% recommend!

Fantastic vegan options with a separate veggie/vegan menu. Not fully clear from the menu what is vegan but the staff are knowledgeable and are happy to make adjustments to any of the dishes to make them vegan. The vegan meat is seitan-like in texture; it's a little soft but generally pretty good and certainly a treat whilst on holiday!

Pros: Separate veggie/vegan menu , Knowledgable staff, Friendly atmosphere

Veg/vegan menu and delicious food

I loved the food a lot, had the tandoori chilly with vegan meat. They have an entire menu which could be made either vegetarian or vegan, with vegan meat to choose and vegan rotti. Waiters were friendly and helpful, definitely recommend

Delicious Indian/Nepalese Food

Delicious vegan food at great prices. Ask for the vegan menu when entering. The waiter was so friendly. I cannot remember the name of the main dish I ordered, but it was a Nepalese style with veg which came out on a sizzling hot plate. Very tasty/mint taste. Highly recommend this restaurant and will return on my next visit to Torremolinos.

Pros: Separate Vegetarian/Vegan Menu, Delicious Food, Cobra Beer

5 star restaurant

Amazing vegan and vegetarian food options. They have a massive separate menu. This is the best Indian restaurant in Spain. No other restaurants do veg eat options. The texture is like chicken/lamb. I would visit again

Pros: Seperate veg and vegan menu with lots of options

The food tastes amazing but not very clear what is vegan or not

There’s an entire vegetarian menu with vegan options but it’s not entirely clear what is vegan and what is not. The staff is friendly and helpful and the food tastes amazing.

Amazing creamy vegan korma!

The vegan options here are the majority of the vegetarian curries as even those with cream/milk (such as Lorna) can be veganized due to the use of soya cream. They also offer mock meat too which I haven’t come across in many Indian/Nepalese restaurants. I had a mock meat korma which was amazing and creamy (and sweet) with chapati and plan rice - delicious! I was lucky that the server spoke almost perfect English as he was able to point me in the right direction with regard to the vegan options.

Pros: Soft mock meat and soya cream options, Flavoursome authentic Nepalese food

Cons: Staff may not always speak good English

Nice Indian food, but hard to decipher vegan options

Delicious food, tough to decide on vegan options. We are tourists and felt it was difficult for the waiter to understand what we were saying (our own fault really) however I had a yum tandoori chilli with “vegetable meat” which was very nice.

Very helpful!

The restaurant has an ovo-lacto vegetarian menu but almost all the vegetarian meals can be "veganized", so options are quite extensive. they also have soya meat so youre not restricted to just veggies . Very helpful and friendly staff. We had an amazing, delicious vegan meal!

*Updated*
They have started using plant milk and cream so now all curries can be veganized. 👍 Really impressed!

Pros: Extensive vegan options. Great price.

Nice Indian food

It was good Indian fare. The waiter didn't understand the word vegan but he said they made everything from scratch so once I told them what I didn't want, they'd leave it out.

Pros: tasty spicy food , good portions

Cons: very greasy

Tasty Hot Hot

Our flight was canceled so need to stay an extra night near Malaga airport.
We came late and was in for good filling vegetarian & vegan-friendly dinner.
They had a big vegetarian section and it was easy to pick our something vegan as well.
While waiting for your order they will bring you a nice little tasty starter on the house with mint sauce, mango chutney etc.
The onion rings, which I would describe as a HUGE onion ball :-D was really really tastefull.
Beware that the dishes labeled "hot hot" infact are hot hot!! But if you are in for some tasty indian & nepalese food, this is the place.
Sweet & helpfull staff when you ask for vegan options without butter etc.
The pin on the map is a little incorrect, but it is close by, so easy to find.
