• Authentic, seasonal and great vegan options

My non vegan friend introduced me to Gujarati Rasoil as one of her favourite London hangouts. It serves traditional, wholesome and vegetarian food (with a nice selection of vegan options) Unfortunately, when I visited London was experiencing a bit of a heat wave, so maybe sitting in and eating hot Indian food (as yum as it was) wasn’t the best choice! Even with all the doors and windows open, it was a bit stuffy inside, though it had a very laidback atmosphere. It didn’t look like what you would expect from a “traditional Indian restaurant” but was in fact felt very light and modern. In reality, though, we were there for the food not for the decor; and they sure delivered. We chose a selection of starters and mains (of which you can choose a small size for £6 or a large for £12) and dug in. The prices were a little on the expensive side – with the bill coming to close to £25 per person, without alcohol – but a nice treat non the less! Considering I practically live off Indian and Asian food, I was most excited about trying dishes I hadn’t tried before. Out of the 3 starters and 3 mains on offer that night – did I mention the menu changes regularly to reflect what’s in season?! – at least one was vegan and another could be made vegan! The small plates were still enough for sharing I was very impressed with the food and the service – just a shame about the heat (though that couldn’t be helped!) I would definitely recommend a visit for vegans, veggies and meat eaters alike!:)
