Average curry - Edit
I hate to give a place like this with clear vegan advertising a 3 star rating, but the curry was just really underwhelming. There aren't many vegan options on the island, but there are definitely better ones than this. It wasn't bad, but I could make it better at home.

I like that they are making an effort.
Read moreThere was only one clearly labelled vegan option when we visited, and it was ok but surprisingly bland - not at all what I expected from a vietnamese restaurant.
My partner ordered a dish that was labelled vegetarian, and was asked whether this should be made vegan, so maybe there would have been more options, but that wasn't clear. Anyway, the other dish was not really memorable, either.

Good - Edit
Quite a few vegetarian options to choose from, mostly Asian / Vietnamese dishes. Food is good but service can be very slow.

Very friendly - Edit
My wife and I are both vegan. She had the Pad Thai and thought it was tasty I had the vegan curry special which was also good. Served with rice, flat bread and roti. Both generous portions.
Read moreService was attentive and pleasant.
Dining room is under a metal roof but otherwise outside. We happened to be there during a particularly heavy tropical downpour after a hot day and it was very nice. Lots of customers arrived soaked and were greeted warmly by the staff.
Pros: Good service , Generous portions , At least a couple of good vegan options.
Cons: A bit pricey

Nice Asian Restaurant - Edit
My Partner and I are both vegan so we were happy to find this lil gem. I ordered vegetables and cashews nice large portion served with rice. My partner got the vegan curry witch also came with rice on the side served a roti bread. We enjoyed it and recommend it. You pay more to eat out but to cook yourself here it would work out the same price as it so expensive to buy fresh veg on the island .
Read morePros: Quite a few options for vegan and vegetarian here.
Cons: No cons. Lovely service

Amazing Pad Thai - Edit
We came here twice. Once we ordered the mixed vegetables with rice and pad thai and the next day we came back just for the pad thai. You need to make sure you order it without any egg. The portion size was perfect and you can add spice to your liking. Highlight of our meals on the island for sure.

Tasty options with large portions - Edit
It was a bit difficult to eat vegan on Rarotonga as the local diet is very meat heavy. But we managed to find a few options at the Rickshaw which were quiet tasty. We came here 2 times and ordered the Vegetable special: veggies, cashews and tofu in a coconut curry sauce served with rice. It was a large portion and the sauce was excellent.
Read moreWe also ordered the Pad Thai and the cashew vegetable dish with sauce. The Pad Thai normally comes with egg so you will need to ask to omit that if you are vegan. Both of these were quite good and large portions. The prices were a bit expensive but as we ended up cooking for ourselves most of the time it was ok to eat here a few times.
