Tasty vegan options

My husband and I enjoyed this place the first time we went that we opted to go there for dinner tonight for tomorrow.
On both nights, we ordered the 5 vegan curry menu option. On both nights, this included a chickpea curry and dahl. The other three curries changed from night to night. On the first night, we also got a green bean curry, a green tomato curry, and one with potatoes and vegetables in it. On the second night, the other curries were a beet curry, an eggplant curry, and another one that contained green vegetables, and we were not sure what they were, possibly zucchini, or possibly okra. It wasn't sticky like okra. My husband liked all of the curries. I don't like beets. I was not wild about that one. I feel like green tomato one was okay but not great, a little too tart. The others were pretty good or great. We loved the dahl. It was a red lentil dahl, but It was different than any other red lentil dahl we had had in the past.
The first night, we also got the dahl and rice and papadam. Since the curry dish also came with rice, it was more rice than we needed. So, the next night, we just ordered dahl in addition to the 5-curry dish. On the second night we also got a spicy vegetable soup that definitely contained zucchini, carrots, and lentils. It was excellent. On both nights, we also ordered of extra papadam. The papadam was very light, lighter than any i've had in the past. It was delicious and perfect.
We noticed that it takes a little bit longer to get your food here than it does that other restaurants in Vienna. It wasn't a super long time but it might be something to keep in mind if you're in a hurry.

Old but gold

Many vegan options, nice service, good taste, the price is average.

You can sit outside during summer.

Sri Lanka Curries with plenty of choices

A great restaurant with plenty of vegan choices and more than can be made vegan. Ask the extremely friendly and helpful people for advice if you aren't sure what to take. I would highly recommend to take one of those rice pancakes filled with onion, coriander and chili. It's delicious.

Pros: Plenty of vegan choises, Helpful stuff

Lots of yummy curry!

Lovely little family owned restaurant. Lots of traditional Sri Lankan options catering for vegans. I had the veggie curry main which came with 5 different curries to try, with rice and a poppadum. Would definitely return!

It's been hard finding weeknight late night eats! Found Curry Insel and was pleasantly surprised they are open until midnight! Dal was good, and was very excited that they have vegan naan made with soymilk!

Pros: lots of clearly labeled vegan options, open late

favorite

ok, this restaurant is now my favorite restaurant in vienna. i actually went there 3 times last month. once to eat à la carte, once for the brunch and once for running curry. and it was absolutely devine every single time. if you like indian food, you definitely need to try sri lankan, especially if you are (like me) tired of the same 5 vegan dishes that are available at indian restaurants in europe and of not being able to eat naan because it has dairy in it. ALSO it has vegan desserts! i just really [censored] love this place. I would give 6 points if i could.

Pros: great variety, vegan desserts!!, just so damn good.

nice place

i got invited for the "running curry" event (once a month) - lots of small dishes are served.
although it's not a vegan or vegetarian place, the waitress herself asked if anyone at the table would like to eat vegan/vegetarian.
the food was really great and i also liked the "running curry" idea - we could taste a bit of all.
vegan food is labeled in the menu.

recommended!

Pros: food, helpful staff

Cons: serves meat, bit crowded
