Terrible food and service

We ordered there and it took over 2 hours to arrive. When I called the shop the women was rude and shouting at me saying that it was arriving whenever they could without wanting to give me an estimation

We asked non spicy and it came super spicy

Issue with takeout, food good

We ordered takeout on Uber Eats. The meal was tasty but it took 2 hours after the estimated delivery time to get to us, we had no delivery notifications on Uber Eats, the delivery person left the bag that the food leaked into at the front desk not waiting for us to come to the lobby

It was a mess and we ate too late.

Although the tofu tandoori and aloo gobi with raita I do not recommend getting takeout

Not a Vegan Restaurant, but Good Vegan Food

I went here thinking it was a vegan Indian food restaurant, but really it’s just a vegan menu inside Bollywood Indian Restaurant. With that being said, it was really good food with an extensive vegan menu and the “cheesy” garlic naan had me reallll happy.

Many Vegan Options

If you can’t sit with people eating meat don’t go here. If you’re looking for delicious food at an Indian restaurant with a separate vegan menu this could be for you.

Pros: Big portions, Fast service , Lots of choice

Cons: Not completely vegan

Veganwashing

We chose this restaurant because advertised as vegan.
Actually, it has vegan options (the main menu is omnivorous) that we would have liked to try anyway, except that, after an hour of waiting, and seeing that people seated after us were being served, we gave up and left, as we risked the other restaurants' kitchens closing. Their excuse? They had ordered more food than us.
We noticed, however, that the people who had ordered from the vegan menu like us had all been left waiting.
When I asked for the bill, they handed me the full receipt, as if I could have eaten what I had ordered. In the end, the water I ordered wasn't even offered (€ 6.50).
Zero hospitality or customer service. Instead, go to the Taj (not far away), it has few vegan options, but they're delicious and the staff is fantastic:
no vegan washing and plenty of substance.

A tale of two curries

Yes, there seems to be a restaurant with two names at the same location.

And yes, there are two menus a standard one and a vegan one.

We were met with kind staff and good service the whole time.

I had the garlic naan and the vegan ‘chicken’ masala.

Pros: Great portion sizes, Delicious flavours, Good service

Cons: Other customers were smoking

So lecker

Das Restaurant ist gemütlich und das Essen war wirklich sehr lecker. Das garlic-Naan war perfekt. Wir waren nachmittags dort und mussten nicht lange warten. Es gibt eine separate vegane Karte, allerdings erst auf Anfrage.

Pros: Extra vegane Karte , Das Essen war wirklich super , Gemütlich

Cons: Vegane Karte erst auf Anfrage , Etwas höherpreisig

Why vegan in the name if it serves meat ..

I haven’t been here yet but I don’t think it’s fair to call that place „the vegan Indian“ if it still sells meat? 👀

Great variety and spicy on demand

Large selection on the menu and tasty food. On demand they turn up the heat. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here.

I know my curry and this one was really good.

I had the vegan madras and a naan bread and loved it. Best meal so far in Amsterdam.
Fast service and friendly staff. I felt right at home. I’m taking what I couldn’t eat away with me. Too good to waste.

Pros: Food, Service, Venue.

Cons: Nothing, Still nothing, Etc etc.

Reliable Indian comfort food

This has become our go-to Indian. There's a separate vegan menu, with plenty of options, mostly familiar but also a few unusual ones (like meatless meatball curry).

The plant-based chicken is good (especially in the biryani, the chicken saag and the chicken madras) but it is very pricey.

The madras is very tasty and different than I've had it anywhere else (mostly in the UK) with lots of mint.

The vindaloo is fiery but still tasty, but has no potatoes. 🤔

The samosas are consistently very good.

Really good vegan Indian

When friends and I were given menus without vegan options, and needed to ask for the separate vegan menu, we were a bit put off. But the very tasty vegan Indian food we eventually received redeemed the place entirely. The "Chicken Coconut Curry" was my favorite. But the "Saag Alloo" (which the waiter admitted is the same as another entry called "Aloo Saag" was also really nice, as were the Samosas and Naan bread. We left very satisfied.

Pros: Very good vegan Indian food, Friendly staff

Cons: Had to ask for a separate vegan menu

Tasty curries

Very tasty vegan food. Make sure you ask for the vegan menu. We had the tandoori mixed veg grill and paneer ( tofu ) tikka. It came with rice and an aloo sauce. We ordered a vegan cheese garlic nan which was delicious but very small. We would definitely go back

Not fully vegan anymore

We should have checked the cow in advance. One year ago, that place was fully vegan. We got the meat menue and had to ask for the vegan one. Service could be more friendly. The vegan ‘very delicious’ mango lassi was made of louder and clumpy. The curries came without any salad and tasted (even if two different one) the same.

Cons: Not fully vegan anymore , Service, Clumpy Lassi

Not vegan at all

Fake advertisement, huge plates of mixed grill (meat). Not a nice sight. It was okay food but compared to regular indian food very very meh. Not a lot of options and not spiced properly

Pros: Bland food, Very oily

Cons: Meat heavy

Excellent food

Excellent vegan options! Make sure to ask for the vegan menu because they only give the regular ones at first.

Pros: A lot of vegan options, not only vegetables curry, Flavourful food

Cons: Can get very busy around 7 or 8pm.

Flavourful delight

For this one we went with an Uber eats delivery. Everything arrived safe and was so flavourful and fresh and is absolutely a recommendation worth.

Pros: Delivery service , Huge portions , Many options on the menu

Good food - not fully vegan.

Listed as a fully vegan restaurant, but this is not the case. The vegan menu is HUGE and the food is good, but the premises also serves meat.
Enjoyed the food, however, we had a very long wait after ordering (about an hour) they seemed to have a lot of takeaway orders, and it was a weekend, so might not always be like this.
Great pretty central location, near lots of bars. Naan bread was excellent! 💚

Quite enjoyed it, but I also enjoyed my last Nando’s

Swayed more by the comments than the 3.5 stars, I was really looking forward to an excellent vegan Indian experience - however, I still am.
More of a cafe that stays open into the evening than an actual restaurant, the atmosphere was noisy - washing/crashing through cutlery and sorting empty bottles into crates for over twenty minutes during service puts a damper on dining.
The food had its ups and downs. The Panir Tikka was good, but the ‘Nan’ more than made up for it (more of a chapatti in size and texture).
Good solid food, but not a night out. 😔

Nicht rein vegan - extra vegane Karte

Wir waren erst etwas irritiert, weil es doch kein rein veganes Restaurant ist.
Der nette Kellner brachte uns dann eine Veganer Karte.
Unsere Entscheidung fiel auf das Special Vegan Menu for 2.

Siehe Bilder.

Ich fand es ok.

Unreal Tofu paneer

I loved it here so much, I dragged my friend her twice. The Tofu paneer was to die for 🥲
