Will definitely be coming back

Labelled Vegan Options - Edit
I always feel more comfortable when the vegan options are labelled, rather than having to trust any reassurances from staff that a menu dish is vegan.
Read moreAt India Gate, they have a Vegetarian Dishes section but 4 of the dishes are labelled vegan and 2 others have Vegan Optional. Also one of the Biryanis has a vegan option too!
None of the breads are labelled vegan but I asked and was told the Chapati was the only vegan one.
I chose the Chana Masala and two chapatis. Very flavoursome.
The cost of the meal for 2 was very reasonable and the staff were very friendly.

Average experience - Edit
hard roti & indifferent service let down a promising clearly marked veg menu. Had much better Indian restaurant experience in Funchal at identical prices.

Delicious food, several options - Edit
Excellent food, particularly recommend the chana masala.
Read moreSeveral mains are clearly indicated as vegan, and there are a few more unlabelled (eg some starters, etc).
Staff made sure to not bring yogurt sauce after we inquired about vegan food, I’m unsure if they automatically do this when ordering vegan dishes.
Pros: Excellent food, Several clearly labelled options

Great Indian vegan options - Edit
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

Would visit again - Edit
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.
Read moreThe Aloo Palak was delicious, I would say mild to medium spicy.
Pros: Vegan choice, Location, Service
Cons: No vegan labelling

A few vegan options - Edit
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.
Read moreWe 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
