Nice South Indian food

I like the food here and it is nice they have vegan lassi.

Pros: Vegan mango lassi, A lot of vegan options, Free tab water

Cons: Too salty, No vegan yoghurt, I don’t like the peanut chutney

4/5

So far, the best Indian I’ve had. They offer a lot of options that are different from the ones you can typically find. I really liked the pani puri, the puffed rice salad and the layered bread!

Great food , lovely service.

This restaurant is in the centre (pretty much) of Utrecht.
They offer a good range of dishes to choose from. Made in an authentic way and you do taste the difference!

Wonderful friendly restaurant

We have been meaning to try this restaurant for a while and I'm very glad we finally went! They have an extensive menu with plenty of vegan options. Everything we had was delicious, and to my surprise the beetroot kola was my favourite - I'm normally not that keen on beetroot, but these were so tasty. We will definitely be back.

Pros: Friendly staff, Delicious food, with so many vegan options.

Not very cozy but delicious meals!

The food was delicious and the portions were good in size! Had finished most of the food before I thought of making a picture (classic) but that was because it was delicious! We loved the Dosa’s which are huge. Also the other options are nice. 80% of the food is vegan, the rest is veggie.

Pros: Dosa, Uthappam

Cons: Atmosphere

Lovely

VegNation is a great restaurant. They have a vegan version of pretty much every dosa they offer, including the ones with cheese. I’d gotten take-out (the vegan menu) from here before, but went for dine-in with my parents a few months ago. My dad is quite the pickly eater, but he loved his biryani. You order through a QR code and don’t get much interaction with the staff. Food doesn’t come at all once. The interior is pretty average, but not (as I like to call it) “Mcdonald’s-y” which is a good thing.
To start, we got the pani puri and the fried cauliflower in a delicious sauce. My mom got a vegetarian dosa and I got the chili cheese one. The masala dosa I got before was delicious, but the chili cheese is literally just vegan cheese with a [censored] ton of chili flakes which overpowered everything. And that’s coming from someone with a really high heat tolerance. The dips are definitely the best part. Some dosa’s are filling and others aren’t which is hard to indicate from the menu, so it was a good thing we got the starters.
I was the only one to get a vegan dessert (others got vegetarian dishes), but it wasn’t something I had ever tasted before and I really loved it.

Nice vegetarian Indian food

Nice delicious indian food! We loves their dosa's at the market vredenburg. Especially ghee dosa with masala. The owners are very friendly, When she introduced you about the southern indian food you can hear and see her passion. Try the starter platters and the jumbo meal and finish it with the chai. We will come often to this place if we graving for Indian food! Thanks for your excellent service.

Pros: Vegetarian food, Passionate Owners , Restaurant

Very tasty with surprising choices

The food was really really good, with a massive selection of dishes, including many options you don't often see in Indian restaurants. Only point of critique is having to order via a QR-code: this didn't work well (app got stuck) and made the experience rather formal and technical. A lot of the dishes also arrived late, maybe because we had to improvise outside of the order flow of the app? Either way, it would have been much nicer to just order via the staff from the start.
To end on a positive note: the portion sizes a really quite large. And if you're unable to finish it, it is no problem to take that home, decently packaged and all.

Pros: Great food, Unexpected dishes on the menu, Fair prices

Cons: Ordering via the QR code created a hassle, Many dishes arrived late (maybe due to the app)

If you like indian food you should check out this place

Came here alone for dinner. You order by scanning a QR code, which was weird for me, but very practical. The food was delicious and the staff very friendly.

Pros: Many Vegan options available, Fair prices for Utrecht

Average good food, slow service

Had aloo tiki chat, idli vada combo and masala dos. Sambhar was fresh and hot and tasty. Good chutneys. Vada also good and fresh hot. Masala in masala dosa is above average. Two of us only customers in restaurant and took over an hour for meal. Service could be improved. Overall dining experience was not enjoyable

Amazing

They have so much different kind of dishes, you never know what it is you’re eating, but that’s totally fine.
Everything tastes great, and also combined together. We had a large plate with several different sauces, curries and other dishes. Staff is very friendly and the kitchen staff explains how to eat it. Only downside to this large plate was that some of the dishes were a bit cold.

Amazing authentic food

The staff is so so friendly, very aware of dietary restrictions, and helpful with the menu.
They serve a wide variety of authentic South Indian food. We tried some starters and idly and it was all great. Also the Indian coffee (iced on request) tasted amazing. Lots of vegan options. Another great thing is that it was very affordable and we were very full!

Pros: Friendly staff, Great taste

Good indian with mixed plates

New place since may 2023. I took the Vegan Nation Special Meals. Two among the four sauces are spicy but not so much. There are a 'krokant' ball, a long dosa, aromatic basmati rice, a little cup if vegetables and, as for dessert, an idly, slightly sweet. The dosa is deliciously crispy. I also took a mango lassi, excellent. Everything is vegan.

Pros: Pleasant atmosphere, space, comfortable chairs, Good, roborative and not too expensive, Prompt, friendly and attentive service

Cons: Partly quite spicy

Tasty and authentic food

The food here is definitly authentic, you can ask vegetarian dishes to be made vegan, they do charge a little extra but given the quality and taste of the food it's worth it.

The owner and staff there are very friendly and you can tell they care about the authenticity of the food. They're mentioned they were experimenting with vegan milks to try and add more vegan options to the menu. We'll defintely be back again!

Pros: Authentic and tasty food, Friendly staff
