delicious Indian flavors

All vegetarian en more than 50% vegan restaurant, very clearly marked on the menu. Wide choice, delicious Indian flavors. Very friendly staff. Good location near Covent Garden and theaters. Go early for dinner, because it will be full of locals after 18:00h.

Pros: very friendly staff, delicious Indian flavors , wide vegan choice

Great dosas

The vegan food was clearly labelled, and the samosas and dosas were amazing! Good service too. We stayed almost three hours, and the food was reasonably priced for central London.

Poor service, mediocre food

The food I ordered did not take much time to arrive. That was the only good part of my visit. They didn’t serve me water after I was seated. I asked the waitress to bring water when she came with my food but apparently she forgot and I had to remind her a few minutes later to get the water. As for the food, I ordered a masala dosa. It was soggy and soft instead of being crispy. The Sambhar that came with it did not taste good. The coconut chutney was okay. I won’t be going there again.

Open late: We were happy to find this place!

We were in London and looking for a place that could accommodate the need for vegan and gluten-free food a bit later than normal and so we were very happy to find this place. We always prefer totally vegan restaurants, but we felt confident that the food was both vegan and gluten-free. We found the food to be good, but not great. We got Masala Dosas and Dal. The filling of the Dosas was more like flavored mashed potatoes (Masala dosa flavor) than the chunks of potato normally found in a dosa, so we weren't crazy about the texture, and it was relatively bland. But, we enjoyed it and were grateful to have found a vegan, gluten-free meal at that time of night.

Pros: Can get vegan and gluten-free food, Open late, Nice staff

Cons: Flavor and texture could have been better

Lovely service and food

The place was welcoming and the server was always available to help. The food is clearly labeled of what is vegan, which was very helpful! I loved the masala dosa and samosa. I ended up with vegan ice cream on top of a sweet dosa, which was really good.

Pros: Lots of vegan options including desserts , Amazing service

Very average

The food is not terrible but it’s not very good either. I would look for another Indian restaurant.

Issues and food not great at all.

Food took an hour to arrive.
Food was lukewarm.
Food was not spicy hot (I'd asked for spicy hot, Madras level).
Uber driver who was waiting to collect meals was sent away twice too. Others were waiting for their food.

In fairness, they said it was an exception as two staff had fallen ill and they couldn't cope with orders. It just wasn't good enough tonight but as I said in their defence they did recognise that it had fallen below what they offer and they apologised. Perhaps it's was just an off day on everything for them. Was just really disappointing as I'd travelled around 40 mins in total from South London to get there.

Pros: Eventually offered to compliment the meal., The big bottles of cobra , Location

Cons: Waiting time., Food cold and small portion size., Food not spicy hot

Small restaurant. The food was lovely though! We chose the idly/ vada starter. Pani Puri , bhature & two dosas.
Everything came out quickly and the staff were very friendly.

Bad service and bad food

We booked a table, had to and when we arrived and we’re made to feel like we weren’t wanted or welcome. Once seated, the waiter took around 20 minutes to get an order of drinks from us, even though we told them 5 times that we were ready to order. We ordered starters and mains, mains came, now starters. Spoke to the waiter about our starters (the one we ordered from) and then he argued with us that we didn’t order starters even though he pressured us into ordering extra poppadoms etc. the food was bad, Sambar bad - tasteless and bland, I’ve had better canned Chana masala and the dosa was poor too. Avoid if you actually like South Indian food. #Veganuary

Evening ruined by loud people

The food was delicious. I had a vegan thali and, apart from one which was too spicy for my personal taste, all of the curries were lovely. My only criticisms regarding the food are that it all came out at once and it could easily have been 100% vegan. The thali included a pudding (sheera) which I’d rather it hadn’t so I could have it later, warmer and in a larger portion.

The main problem was the atmosphere. One loud group of people ruined the evening for everyone. I would come again, but I’d pick a quieter time and hope that group didn’t return.

Amazing value

Shared the vegan thali and dosa with a friend and it was SO MUCH food. Everything was delicious, and our waiter (Isaac) was so friendly, remembering our specific wine orders (even the wines are specified vegan/veggie). Such a great find!

Pros: Huge range of vegan options, Great value for money, Super-friendly service

Excellent food and service!

A great menu with loads of vegan options at a reasonable price. Every dish was delicious and enjoyed by all the family. We particularly liked the okra, but everything was really tasty. Isaac was very friendly and helpful and we would definitely recommend this to everyone

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Cheap, Great location
