Tourist price for good quality food

We're big fans of Indian cuisines and when this restaurant was recommended to us by our host family, we were keen to try out their vegan-friendly food combined with a live jazz performance. Staff were attentive, the menu was in English with ingredients listed and portions were a good size (in line with the price offered). #Veganuary

Pros: Nice Indian food, Menu with ingredients marked, Atmosphere

Restaurante de comida indu con Opciones vegetarianas. 10 a 20 € por persona aproximadamente. Buen ambiente con música en vivo

Deberían ofrecer más variedad de platos vegetarianos y garantizar que no hay contaminación de los platos vegetarianos con carne

Pros: Lentejas y garbanzos al estilo indú , Buen ambiente

Cons: Más platos carnívoros que Veggie

High price for high quality

Nothing to add, main dishes were ~10€ each, which is about 5x what you pay in other places. But it is however really decent nutritious food. See photos attached. The bad reviews here appear to be outdated, guess they had a revolution :-)
PS: you might be lucky to have a local musician playing for you.

Best place to eat amazing vegan food in Havana at night

Although not fully vegan and not exactly typical Cuban food, there are great vegan options here. Their chole bhature and their lentils tikka masala have so much flavour that it blew my mind. I highly recommend their samosas as well. The staff is very friendly and will gladly help you with any questions and requests. Their cuban drinks are also great, Chancháran probably being my favourite (I just needed to ask them to swap honey for sugar).

Pros: A lot of flavour , Cozy and chill vibe

Enjoyable

I thought the food was very tasty and vegan options were decent. I didn’t think twice about the prices. However, after reading other reviews, I realize the prices are geared toward Americans and likely unaffordable for locals.

As you'd expect Cuban Indian to be!

We were surprised to see an Indian restaurant in Havana so wanted to give it a go. Staff were nice and the choices were good. I'm veggie and had the paneer which I wouldn't recommend, chewy cheese and bland sauce. BF had black beans which was nice. Samosas were really good. Much more expensive than all the other meals we had in Cuba.

Pros: Options, something different

Cons: Expensive

Good Indian food!

We told the waitress we were vegan and she was very nice and accommodating. I really liked the eggplant vegan dish but it’s more like a side or a dip.

There is better out there!

I went here for a change of venue. The menu is mainly veggie, but they are happy to suggest what can be made vegan. I found it a little bland, but I only had one dish of eggplant curry. At the time the variety and something vegan was very welcome but overall not that impressive. I also found it very expensive even by Cuban tourists standards.

Pros: Able to veganise a few dishes

Cons: Expensive, Not the most amazing atmosphere

Pricey, bland and small portions

Nice ambience and good service, but the servings were small and very bland, despite the "2 chillis" rating. V. expensive too, even without any wine.

Pros: service, naan breads

Cons: Expensive, bland, small servings.

Disappointed

We went here after reading the reviews. We were disappointed.

First, it was more expensive than anyplace else we ate in Havana for very little food.

Second, they only have a couple of vegan options, which are really side dishes. The eggplant dish was tasty, but it's not a meal. They charged $5 for a small bowl of rice.

On the plus side, our server brought out the eggplant dish and immediately took it back because they'd made it with butter. So at least she paid attention to our request for vegan dishes.

It was the only place in Havana we tried that we would not go back to.

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: Small portions, Not good value

Nice and different

Nice to see an Indian place in Havana! The staff was friendly and the food was good. The main dish is generally served with beans and naan instead of rice, which was suprisingly good. They have some vegetarian dishes to chose from and it tasted good, though different from other Indian food I've had (not that much sauce here). Definitely recommend a visit!

Strange, but good

I'm not sure exactly what was going on in there when I showed up, it was early in the day. Maybe they were just opening? They seemed surprised to see me and there was some kind of negotiation happening before I got a table. I was the only customer. The samosas were good. The server was friendly. The options in Havana are limited, so I'd give this a try.

Pros: Friendly Staff

Cons: Looked surprised to have customers, Out of the way

Great Indian Food in the heart of Havana

Great restaurant. Nice décor, very attentive service , and excellent items. Although, the veg/vegan items are few, they were tasty and very satisfying.

Indian food in the heart of Havana is a welcome change from resort food, for any vegan traveller or non-veg traveller. Great experience!

Pros: Great Food, Great Service, Great Atmosphere

Cons: None
