Very good lentils stew

Lentil stew was one of the best I have had. They had about 5 vegan mains, and vegan chapati.

Super!

Delicious Indian dishes with plenty of choice for vegetarians. We had dinner at the restaurant in the evening, the location is in a cozy little street. The service is friendly and the dishes are not expensive.

Great Indian vegan options

After reading reviews on HappyCow, decided to give this place a go for dinner on Saturday night - it definitely didn’t disappoint. Multiple vegan options which are clearly labelled on the menu, I went for the Chana masala and basmati rice. Very good portion size, couldn’t finish it all! Quick service too

Pros: 3/4 vegan options , Quick service, Good portions

Good Indian food

They have a clearly marked menu. Tasty food, mildly spiced which can be made hotter on request. Restaurant is situated on an alley, with number of other restaurants. Has both indoor and outdoor seating. Would eat here again

Would visit again

The restaurant is located in a small alley. The food is not labeled as vegan but all except two vegetarian dishes are vegan (the one with cheese and the one with butter cream). Naan is not vegan but roti bread. Rice is not included but has to be ordered extra.

The Aloo Palak was delicious, I would say mild to medium spicy.

Pros: Vegan choice, Location, Service

Cons: No vegan labelling

A few vegan options

The menu stated it was vegetarian so had to ask if they had vegan options. I think it depends whether they use oil or butter ghee. One of the few places that was open on public holiday so appreciated finding somewhere that catered.

We had the Dal taka and Chana masala. Nice curry! Yum yum.

Pros: Had a few vegan options

Cons: Not identified as vegan on menu so had to ask

Delicious

The staff is very kind and they are happy to tell you which dishes are vegan. We had a mixed platter and it all looked and tasted amazing! The location on a lovely old street in Funchal is another plus. Would definitely recommend!

Traditional and friendly

It's nice to find a place where they actually understand what vegan means. Vegan options from the menu were pretty much the same as every other Indian restaurant, I am not a huge fan of the Indian spectre of tastes, so I cannot reliably review the quality of cooking, here, but the food was nicely put, and seemed well prepared to me!

They say that their Naan bread is also vegan, which is especially nice, as this is often not the case!

No dessert options for vegans, unfortunately.

Pros: Super friendly service, in English, Nice and beautifully laid tables

Cons: A bit pricey, No dessert, Christmas songs playing loudly
