Yummy and enjoyable first meal in Amsterdam

We ordered the tofu coconut dish and bangain bharta (eggplant) (sorry for misspelling) dishes as mains and onion bhaji and curry naan as sides/starters. Everything was delicious with the right amount of heat. The naan wasn’t great (little bit dry). Service was very friendly.

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

So lecker

Ein Restaurant mit zwei Karten , die vegane Karte muss man sich extra verlangen. Das Essen war so unglaublich lecker 😍 ich war danach so satt , es ging schnell und war so gut und alle waren sehr freundlich

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.

Ich fand es ok.

Delicious and huge but the place is shared

Delicious and huge amount of food (the price is worth it, i promise you wont leave hungry). However i did not like the fact that the restaurant is not vegan, but a regular one with a menu vegan.

And everything is shared (not quite sure if the kitchen too)

In the description it says that there are 2 restaurants (one vegan and one not) and that the kitchens are separate - you must have overlooked that part (=

Lovely Vegan options

Such good food & cocktails were delicious. So many vegan options and and the food was beautifully cooked and everyone (vegan, veggie and two meat eaters) all loved it. Would have loved some spice options but highly recommend the Indian tasters & naan!

Oh my god

I’ve never had vegan Indian food this good before. The vegan butter chicken curry is astounding and I love that they use tofu as a paneer replacement- it’s perfect! Also the naan is SPECTACULAR. Garlic and garlic cheese is the best. Was even hot for delivery! Can’t wait to go back in person

Pros: Affordable, Delicious, Hot delivery and well packaged

Cons: Wasn’t able to eat it all in one sitting :(

good for ordering / open until late

I ordered there when I was in Amsterdam. The food was delivered quickly, was still hot and came in re-useable plastic boxes (I am still using them after one week of bike tour since then).
The coconut curry was very good. the vegan starter box was also very good.
everything was packed very well so that nothing spilled out the boxes.

Only four stars as the place there serves meat. Food was excellent.

Excellent vegan curry

Fab vegan chicken tikka masala here. Amazing to see in a world where dairy ghee / milk / yoghurt is too commonly used in indian restaurants.

Best vegan butter chicken

A really classic vegan butter chicken curry and the samosas were delicious.

It does the classic dishes justice! I ordered these takeaway and still great quality.

Really nice!

We had the Tarka Dahl and saag aloo with rice and naan. Both were good. I would definitely go again and try a korma or other ‘chicken’ dish

A great indian

We got the vegan snack mix, I got the no meat chicken madras and garlic and cheeze naan. The madras was the perfect heat level for me, overall a great meal and worth the walk!

Hands down the best Indian I’ve ever had! The vegan menu has a lot of options and not too badly priced
