Pure vegetarian (no eggs) but still limited vegan choices

Having marked this for a while now and finally made it. Had great expectations that a vegetarian restaurant would have many more vegan options. To make it odd, the staff not aware what vegan meant. The menu underneath pizza said vegan options, but they couldn’t understand that vegan should not include cheese or butter. Not properly trained staff. Dahi Poori was vegan , we were told. They wouldn’t even make Dahi (yogurt) Poori with yogurt on the side.

We had a Dabeli w/o Butter to make it vegan. It was good, but the spices were way less than we anticipated. The chutney provided was also very mild.

Mumbai Meei Jaan platter with Vada Pav made vegan was good. The topped chilli could have been the spicier version. The vegan Bhel was OK, again too mild. The vegan Pani Poori OK again, but the water was way too mild as if made for non-Asians more than for Indian origin customers.
Vegan Schezwan Dosa - we assumed it would be street style, made with veggies and noodles in Schezwan sauce. It turned out to be masala dosa with schezwan sauce inside the dosa with regular potato onion filling. The chutney and sambhar again very mild flavours.

Family did have Pav Bhaji which couldn’t be made vegan. They did enjoy it but again found to be mild as well.

Hard to believe that a Gujarat based restaurant had such mild flavours.

Pros: Vegetarian restaurant

Cons: Staff not trained on vegan, Very mild/muted flavours
