No buffet...

Please note there is NO buffet here. We did not eat here, as we came for the buffet. We left and went to Red Indian Chilli instead, which has better reviews and (it turns out) a vegan thali!

Curry Craving

Nothing special, but if (like me) you’re in the neighborhood and get a sudden severe curry craving this local family-run place will come to the rescue. Not sure where those who complained the food is bland or the portions “small” are coming from. My Sahal Daal Curry was ordered “picante” and arrived plenty spicy! Friendly service.

Many better options around.

I can't say that our chickpea curry tasted bad, as it had no taste to it.
It was barely warm when we got it just very bland overall.
The raita was made with a sweet yoghurt no mint at all.
The pakoda was redeeming though, crispy and tasty.

Pros: Pakoda was good.

Cons: Tasteless. , Bland., No atmosphere.

Would not go back

We got two vegan curries, my boyfriend ordered another dish as he was still hungry. Then we got a chicken- curry, eventhough we said that we were vegan.. the food itself was delicious. Then when we wanted to pay, they wanted 100 pesos too much, so it was two fails in one time..

Pros: A few vegan options

Cons: Sometimes don’t understand what we want

Very good!

Really tasty curry, very friendly owner and reasonably priced. We'll worth a visit, everything is prepared fresh, they have veggie options and will veganise everything happily as they make it all to order.

Amazing food and amazing owners

I felt back in India. The owners are so nice and I set and talked to them. I had a vegan thali which was very good and it came with a drink- lemonade which fresh prepared.

Pros: The staff knows to explain about what’s vegan, Many options

Very good experience

The chef was open to cook a vegan curry after our desires. Portion were generous (and we could have asked for more rice) and soo tasty! We also ordered the garlic naan.

Pros: Delicious, Authentic Indian cuisine

Cons: Cheap prices

Good vegan curry!

We asked for vegan options, so the owner of the restaurant gave us a few choices. We decided to take a chickpea curry and a cauliflower-spinach curry which came with rice and naan bread. It was delicious but a little pricey.

Cons: Not completely vegan, Quite expensive

No more buffet

I went there for the buffet but the owner told me they don't have it anymore. They now have a vegan Christmas special for 150 pesos.
I didn't try the food so can't comment on that.

Good food!

I ordered from here and they delivered it to where I’m staying. I got chickpea curry, potatoes and cauliflower curry and samosas & naan. I’d definitely come back here again.

Not very flavorful

The prices were low, the food took a long time to make, the food wasn’t amazing.

Delicious!

There were quite a few vegan options so I had a hard time choosing. I ended up with the Alu Gobi (cauliflower), rice and garlic naan. I was so hungry that I accidentally ate some before I remembered to take the pic and I mixed my rice with the gobi but you get the point. To drink, I had a very delicious lemonade. The owners were very helpful in knowing what is vegan and what isn’t (I originally, accidentally, ordered a yogurt drink and the owner quickly let me know!) I’ll definitely be back!!

Pros: Knowledgeable owners, Delicious options, Friendly service

Cons: No cons!

Delicious and friendly

The chef and owner Irfan Shahid and the staff were very friendly and inviting. The food was delicious and filling for this hungry cycling vegan. We had the eggplant dish, garbanzo dish and some rice.

Nice

The buffet is ok, were about 6 vegan options when we tried. It is quite good but very salty and oily.
Would give 3 stars for the food but the staff is super friendly.
English spoken.

Delicious flavoursome food and the friendliest welcome

So glad we tried this place as we had an incredibly tasty, well made meal! There are quite a few vegan options - we had cauliflower curry, chickpea curry, vegetable rice, samosa, pakora and garlic naan plus bottles of water all for 415! Really well spiced and authentic Indian.

The owners are lovely, so welcoming, kind and warm. We will definitely be back next time we visit Oaxaca.

The naan was so fresh. The fresh bread smell!

Pros: The curry had incredible flavor

The food was ok

The food good/okay but it wasn’t really indian food. I would rather order a real indian dish instead. These were the options: Rice, Plain lentils, Califlour curry ish, potato in spinash, indian pasta, and zucchini stew.. and no salad/sauces or so.. not the best buffé, but nice staff

Delicious simple food at very reasonable prices

I went seeking out this place just to have a change from Mexican food. I guess I arrived as they were closing, but they did not turn me away. I asked for something simple, quick with chickpeas. Most delighted with the generous portions of brown rice and a chickpea curry with fresh ginger prepared in mere minutes. Friendly service, clearly understood vegan food plus very reasonably priced at 105 pesos. Worth seeking out and supporting a restaurant offering something other than Mexican food of which there are plenty to choose from.

fantastic Indian / Pakistani buffet

Great food, massive vegetarian selection, run by a really nice family from Pakistan😄I went twice, loved it. I'm sure if you ask they will cook something vegan. The restaurant itself is also very cute😄95 pesos all you can eat, check it outttyy

They have some solid vegan options - tasty but very oily

I came here during the day and inquired about their menu - they do a buffet until 7pm for 99 pesos (drinks not included) and had several vegan options in the buffet. I didn't fancy it as there was no-one in their and no idea how long the food had been sitting there. But I decided to come back in the evening and take something from their menu and they have three options (chana dahl, lentil type dhal and something else). I went for the chana dahl which was about 70 odd pesos, which came with rice - it was tasty but very oily. I took a fresh lemonade (sin azucar) and that was very nice. Overall I'd say a reasonable option. Very quiet in the evening too - just me and another guy - and I quite liked the tranquillity and the peace.

Pros: Solid vegan options, Peaceful atmosphere
