Delicious. Vegan friendly

Food is fabulous. Had the yellow Dal, Cauliflower Manchurian app, Samosas and Roti. You can sit outside with takeaway and watch ducks on the river. Definitely recommend this restaurant. Bright spot in vegan desert here in Pigeon Forge!

A Vegan Dream

I’d rate it 5 stars if I could! There were so many vegan options, and our server was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive about what was and wasn’t vegan, which we really appreciated.

We ordered the Gobi Manchurian (hands down the BEST- I’m still thinking about it), the Aaloo Gobi Masala, and the samosas, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. Plus it was fast.

If you’re vegan (or even just plant-curious), this place is an absolute must. We’ll 100% be back next time we’re in town.

Oasis in a sea of touristy restaurants

Loved the food and vibe at Spice Express. Waiter was very knowledgeable about vegan options on menu. Veggie samosas were fantastic (note green sauce contains yogurt) and Mixed Vegetable curry was excellent (and quite spicy—be warned!). Would definitely come back here.

Such delicious flavors!

The samosas are excellent, curry was fantastic and the Gobi manchurian is off the charts!

Solid Indian Food!

Found this gem while visiting pigeon-forge for a work trip. Clean restaurant and quick service (but not too quick to cause suspicion). Food was tasty and flavorful. This restaurant doesn’t modify spice levels so if you cannot take any spice than this won’t be a spot for you. The portion sizes are great which is so helpful when you’re on the go!

Pros: Vegetable Biryani , Quick , Flavorful

Cons: Spice level is not flexible

Vegan oasis in a desert

My sister and split the Chana masala and the Aaloo ago I masala. Each entree comes with a large serving of white rice. Big portions and delicious food!
