Amazing

The ambience was great. The food, man they are really amazing. Thaali was good. All naans are vegan and great vegan curry options. They have vegan gulab jamun and it tasted great too. We will be frequenting this restaurant. I usually don't like to eat at Indian restaurants due to minimal vegan options and this changes all that.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Naans and even desserts

Tasty 🌶

Came here during lunch on a weekday. There was the express buffet option, which consisted of mostly vegan choices, all clearly labeled. The menu itself is extensive with clear labeling of vegan options- I ended up with the vindaloo tofu curry, delicious!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Clear labeling, Tasty food

Lots of vegan options!

Cute atmosphere and good, clearly-labeled vegan options. I got korma curry which was cashew and coconut based with cardamom and other sweet spices. I ordered it with tofu and it came on a bed of basmati rice. I also had the veggie samosas which were delicious too. They even have a vegan dessert.

Pros: Vegan options, Clear labeling, Customizable

first experience a negative one

I’ve heard great things about India and was excited to try. I ordered the mango curry but was served the tofu masala instead...which contains dairy. It wasn’t until after eating some that I realized the mistake. For a restaurant with a vegan friendly reputation I was very disappointed. I received a gift card as an apology (and a stomach ache) but it will be awhile before I return. Overall a very disappointing experience.

Pros: bad service , actually vegan friendly??????

Tons of Options

The menu had so many vegan options and everything was labeled great. I don't think they have non-dairy milk but they made me a chai without, still delicious! They did not have vegan naan, but offered another vegan flatbread instead. Also impressed they had at least one vegan dessert option and we got 20% off for sitting at the bar!

Pros: atmosphere, good value

Cons: no vegan substitutes

Amazing food and service by Tita!

A large group of us turned up unannounced an hour before the closing time, Tita and all the staff were very friendly and accommodating. They patiently allowed us to rearrange the furniture so that we could all sit together! And they also allowed us to separate the bill into smaller groups to make it easier for us to split. The service we received was above and beyond, the food was fantastic - 3 of us are vegan and there was lots of choice for us including dessert! I would totally recommend it and come back again.

Amazing Whole Food Plant Based HEALTHY dinner

I just came back from an amazing dinner with a group of friends. We were all vegan -prefering no oil and low sodium. India offers a FULL WFPB (whole food plant based) menu. We all tried different dishes and were blown away with the flavor. We shared appetisers and dessert. Everything was really good - I will be back soon.

For anyone looking for healthy plant based alternatives - this is the best restaurant I know of in PVD - with the largest selection.

Be sure to ask for their WFPB menu when you go.

I rated India a 5 - but because it is classified as veg friendly, the system would only accept a 4. This needs to be changed - it is totally vegan friendly!!

Pros: amazing selections, gorgeous location - also outdoor setting, great service

Cons: can't think of anything!

Just as good as a remember!

I live in NYC now, but grew up in RI and frequented India on a pretty regular basis back in the day. Growing up, I was a vegetarian and enjoyed all the delicious spinach and paneer options this establishment offered. As a vegan, I've struggled finding delicious Indian food in the city that doesn't consist of dairy, especially my beloved Naan. Thus, I was extremely pleased to learn that India not only offers a huge variety of well labeled vegan options but also VEGAN NAAN!

This place is just fantastic. The food is light and delicious, cooked without a lot of grease which I find abundant in most Indian cuisines. Also, the staff is amazing! I visited this past Sunday with my mom and her husband, a man that made it very clear to the staff that he did not want to be there, and our waitress was still super sweet and accommodating! Love you India! Thanks for being friendly and vegan. XOXO

Pros: Well labeled vegan options, Gluten free options, Friendly environment

mhmmm so spicy

This restaurant has clear little green Vs beside each dish that is vegan, and a half green V for dishes that CAN be vegan. I got the tofu vindaloo and it was delicious and probably the spiciest indian food I've ever had.

Seriously I love this place. The interior is also really beautiful and romantic :)
