Fab vegan indian meal

Had plenty of choice for Vegans including Vegan Nan. We had the veg Jalf, chana masala and the dhal. Very tasty and plenty of heat! Unlike other restaurants where the vegan option is mild and boring.

Pros: Variety, Taste, Service

They can make vegan naan!

Really knowledgeable and helpful staff was able to accommodate our group of vegan and gluten free guests wanting to eat family style. Staff is knowledgeable and can veganize additional dishes by making substitutions (I.e. coconut milk for cream). For the non-gf folk we ordered a potato stuffed naan which they were able to make vegan too which is hard to find. Food didn’t blow my mind but was impressed by the service. Note that the mild here is very mild, would recommend ordering medium for some flavour.

Pros: Great service , Knowleable about veganism

Inconsistent

Have a good experience here but also two bad dinners so wouldn’t go back now unfortunately.
Mild vegetable Jalfrezi had been too hot to eat twice in a row now, I I’m someone that enjoys spicy food, this had no flavour, only spice.

Really it was a solide 3.75 !

The people were really nice and helpful! What can be veganised is creally stated. I’ve got the dal and it was delicious just a smidge too salty but still really good

Great curry

I had a dal tadka curry with a garlic naan made vegan - both delish. Good service too.
Restaurant itself is a little bit dated but who cares when the food is good
