Eccezionale, vegetariano e VEGANO! - Edit
Davvero fantastico! Questo piccolo ristorante a conduzione familiare è eccezionale! Tutti i piatti vegetariano hanno il loro equivalente vegano e sono BUONISSIMI. I sapori sono davvero incredibili e i proprietari sono pronti a dare consigli sui piatti migliori.

Wonderful Chana masala - Edit
A tiny family owned restaurant offering all vegan dishes (with the option to make vegetarian, rather than the other way around). We had a tofu dish, Chana masala, and garlic naan. All wonderful! It’s the only vegan restaurant in Portimao open for dinner.

Just perfect - Edit
Amazing authentic Indian food. All the dishes can be vegan or vegetarian , whether it’s the garlic butter naan, mango lassi or the curries. For every dish with paneer they also have one with tofu. And he explains everything well. everything is made fresh there, so they can also make it mild. It was really delicious.

Food is amazing in this unassuming little restaurant. Authentic home cooked tastes, made to order. Majority of dishes have a vegan alternative.

Pros: Authentic flavours, Hospitality, Lots of vegan options

Family run Indian restaurant - Edit
If you are looking for a good money to value ratio and don't need it to look fancy you are in the right place.
Read moreThey cooked the food in the guest room basically so you could see it being prepared. The whole family was there when we had dinner there.
My mothers partner had the pasta and was really enjoying them despite not wanting to go to a vegetarian restaurant before.
Be aware that parking was a nightmare ...

Best Indian restaurant in Porimao - Edit
This place is magnificient. The food is top notch, everything I ate here was 11/10, abosolutely delicious. Many vegan options and also (usually) a posibility of making food without a ingridient that we don't want. Prices are really reasonable. The restaurant is family owned by probably by incredibly nice and humble people. I highly reccomend buying naans and mango lassi to anything. Definitely my go to restaurant in Portimâo.
Read morePros: Absolutely delicious food, Nice pricing, Family owned busisness
