I want to move in and eat their yummy food everyday

That is it! Their food is just so delicious and nutritious. South Indian food has so much flavour and it’s so yummy 😋, I can’t even describe. Please go try for yourself. Not all their food are vegan, but they have plenty of options

Delicious all veggie Indian food!

Delicious and freshly prepared food and excellent value for money! We enjoyed the tarka dal, veg curry and paneer tikka masala with pilau rice, chapattis and onion bhaijis. Lovely that it is an all veggie menu with plenty of vegan options. Would definitely recommend!

Pros: All veggie menu, Excellent prices!

Cons: None!

Excellent Gujurati food

Highly recommend this place, especially on Thursdays where you get a dhosa and a whole bunch of different South Indian dishes for just £16!
Everything was vegan, though some drinks like lassi and tea use dairy milk.

A must

Very friendly staff. They have a large menu, which made it hard to decide, but I strongly believe there are no bad choices to be made. The food was packed with flavor and simply delicious.

Pros: Great food , Good service , Relatively cheap

Thursday dosa night

Visited this gem for the first time this Thursday when they have a set menu. We started with dumplings and spicy potatoes in a light batter both of which were delicious. This was followed by dosa and several Gujarati and Keralan dishes, all of them perfect! We’re planning to visit another day to sample the regular menu, can’t wait!

Pros: All vegan dishes, Great value for money, Unusual menu

Authentic and Delicious

Lovely little Indian in the centre of Plymouth. Good menu with lots to choose from at very reasonable prices. The staff were friendly and were on hand to make suggestions about what to order. My partner and I shared poppadoms with dips, had a starter each, a main each and shared rice and bread (oh and had 2 beers each too!) we found it very filling and tasty and it only came to £35! Would recommend

Pros: Good location , Cheap , Authentic

Cons: Closes early , No naan bread as its South Indian cuisine

Great, super

The food here is outstanding, quite simply some of the best Indian food I have ever eatan. Also amazing value, 3 dishes, rice, two types of bread, poppadoms, deserts and a bottle of wine for under £35.
The owner talked us through the history of his restaurant, lovely man, great story.

Pros: Amazing food, Exceptional value

Cons: Dated but we didn't go for the decor

My favourite

Have visited many times, i must say it is my absolute favourite indian ever. Good menu with lots of vegan options, if you let the staff know that you are vegan on arrival they will explain which menu items are suitable. The interior could do with a spruce up, amd the service could be a bit faster, but don't let it put you off as the food is so good and is well worth the wait.

Pros: Amazing food

Cons: Service usually slow

Our favourite Indian

We have only been on Thursdays which is banquet night, where there is a set menu (everything is vegan bar one chutney which if you let them know they'll swap for you). Truly delicious and great value, we try and go whenever we can.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Really friendly family that run it, Delicious

Cons: No takeaway delivery

Delicious Food But Long Wait

I'm going back for the Food in spite of the long wait & below average service.

The service wasn't great...
Apparently "It is unheard of to serve a Korma made with Coconut Milk!", they forgot to serve us our drinks (so we just went without) & the owner appeared annoyed that my sister brought a pram & baby into his restaurant!

That aside the FOOD was Amazing!
So, when we do go back we will be prepared to wait a long time and not expect great service in order to enjoy the delicious food.

(We visited last year)

Pros: FOOD

Cons: Service could be a lot better!, Decor is Worn & out dated, Long Wait.

Great food.

I visited on a Thursday night, which is the banquet night. As a solo traveller it was a little odd to be eating a banquet alone, but the staff were welcoming and accommodating. The food was great.

Pros: Great food., One of a few vegan options in Plymouth.

The Rise of Veginald Perrin

I've known about the existence of this place for over a decade and at last an opportunity presented itself to make the 400 mile trip and visit. Boy was I pleased. Traditional Indian, Gujarati and Southern Indian food freshly made by a passionate family run operation. The vegan choice is outstanding. Other than the odd paneer dish and raita dressing it's pretty much all dairy free. We started with popadoms served with a finely chopped and fragrant onion salad and chutney. Starters were onion bhaji and a lightly spiced potato ball dish called Bateta Wada. Main course was my benchmark Indian dish of vegetable madras and a Kerala vegetable dish. This was served with rice and chapatis. Washed down with Kingfisher beer the whole event came to £27. Staff were very pleased to hear of their great reviews on Happy Cow. Long life to Veggie Perrins.

Pros: great food, great prices, friendly

Great Indian restaurant

This is a very unusual Indian restaurant - well worth visiting.

It is small and personal, run by the very helpful owner and his family. It can be busy, so worth booking a table.

The food is genuine Indian (not the anglicised version found so often), and very good.

We last went on a Thursday when there was a special South Indian set menu - three courses for just £12.50. The food was very fresh and tasty, spicy but not too hot, all of it vegan, and very enjoyable.

We travel over an hour to get there - and it's always worth it.

Pros: Great food, Friendly and personal, Excellent value

Cons: Wish it was closer!

Top curry house!

"I didn't get where I am today by eating meat!"

Excellent food and service. The menu was almost 90% vegan. Bill, the owner was friendly and attentive, without being at all intrusive. He told me he had ambitions to open a second restaurant in Totnes, so fingers crossed...

I love Gujarati food!

The Bateta Wada starters were perfectly cooked, if a little underspiced for my taste. Bringing me chutney instead of dairy raita inspired confidence. So many places still bring raita after I've said I'm vegan.

I moved up a gear and went for a Madras main, which was absolutely perfect. My mouth was tingling but not quite burning. The chapatis were beautifully thin.

I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Plymouth.

In the meantime, I might dig out my Reggie Perrin videos :-)

Pros: Great!, Super!

Cons: No farting chairs
