Great indian

The owner took time to explain vegan options on menu. The food was great. The peshwari naan is not normally vegan but he got a staff member to go out and get some coconut milk to make me one. This was during a busy service! Would definitely recommend.

Pros: Food is tasty, Staff lovely, Went above and beyond

Cons: Separate marked menu would be nice

No understanding of vegan

Really poor experience. Unsure what restaurant these other reviewers went to as the staff were really unhelpful. Was referred to what seemed to be the boss of the restaurant straight away, meaning the staff aren't educated on allergens, but the manager clearly didn't understand what vegan meant either. He told me to pick a dish and he would tell me if they could make it vegan... I explained we could be here all day going through the menu but he insisted. I obviously went straight to the "vegetable dishes" to which he said no (to all of them!) because they have flour in them... I tried explaining that flour doesn't have anything to do with veganism but he didn't understand. I would of left the restaurant if we weren't there for my dad's birthday, as we were beginning to make a scene when I was trying to explain that they advertise "vegan options available" but can't tell me what options these are.

I ended up going with a Bombay Aloo which is normally always vegan. I feel as though they deliberately put a boiled egg in it, as I've never seen this be part of the dish. So I didn't eat the meal and didn't bother saying anything, paid and left.

I understand not all restaurants will have vegan options available, but I thought after the reviews on here and the fact they have "vegan options available" advertised on their menu, that they would be helpful but it's probably the worst experience I've had.

Cons: No vegan options available, Unhelpful staff with no understanding of veganism, Not sure why they're listed on happy cow

Tasty dishes!

Love this place! Lots of dishes can be made vegan but you have to ask which. Staff are helpful and knowledgeable on dishes. Our favourite place for curry in Falkirk!

Great local Indian

You have to ask the staff what is vegan but they are incredibly helpful. The plain naan is vegan and the daal is so good. Definitely a good place to go with the family.

Pros: Vegan naan bread , Delicious curry , Reasonable price

Cons: Have to ask what is vegan

Filling and enjoyable lunch.

Lots of vegetarian options but you need to point out if you are vegan or you will probably be served a yogurt dip on the side. Staff were happy to substitute it for a different dip.

Left feeling very full.
