Won't be coming back

The serving staff was extremely clueless, not just about vegan food items but in general. My brother cannot eat anything with onion or garlic and the first staff member went and asked the chef and came back with the information that not a single item on the menu didn't include a certain onion/garlic paste. When another staff member came to take our orders they could inform us that several of that several of the items were without onion/garlic and my brother had almost left in the meantime. Everyone didn't get served at the same time, so we had to start without the others for out foos not to get cold, and they forgot the rice and bread for two people. Certain items on the menu has a symbol for "choose how spicy you want it" but we weren't asked and even the meals without a flame symbol were extremely spicy - nice for some but not enjoyable for all. I had the aubergine curry and the curry itself was fine but the aubergines in it were drenched in oil, which was not pleasant. The atmosphere was generally medium or a bit below but specifically ruined by a crying toddler was overdue their bedtime (which is not the fault of the restaurant, but didn't exactly improve the experience). Overall, the food was nothing special at best and the total experience was a bust.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Good (not vegan) mango lassies according to others

Cons: Clueless and inexperienced staff, Poor atmosphere, Mediocre food

Not as good as their other locations

The South Indian is has a chain restaurants in Denmark and this one is just not as good as the others. My dosa was soggy even though I had asked extra crispy and the sambar was cold. We asked for a mild spiced veg korma and it was super spicy with no other flavors. They were out of soda that comes with the lunch special. I’m a big fan of the chain but I will not be visiting this location again.

Expensive and bland

Thought I would give this another try, but I guess I shouldn't have.
Even the sambar was unimpressive this time.
My husband loved his chicken, but that's no help when you eat plantbased.

Cons: Expensive

bland, extremely hot alternative to burgers

When we entered the take-away, we were welcomed by a friendly staff. They has a menu card indoors, where the vegan options are signed (compared to the menu card which hangs next to the entrance outdoor which has no vegan markings).
The food was served soon. The lentil-rice bowl with pickles tasted bland and boring, the tamarind-rice bowl with pickles was bland too and additionally EXTREMELY HOT !!!
I wish they would mark the dishes which are extremely hot.
