Not vegan! - Edit
Ended up here with a friend cos I read ads on insta from the vegan Indian.
Read moreBut it’s just an Indian restaurant called: Bollywood. They have a vegan menu. It’s not on a different floor and no seperate kitchen like they say. The food was okay. But it was very cold and very touristy prices.

Huge portions! - Edit
We enjoyed visiting The Vegan Indian. As other reviews say the service isn’t stellar, hence the four stars - but this isn’t something we were bothered by. The food was great but we clearly had eyes bigger than our belly because we couldn’t finish it all! Honestly I think if you’re going to get starters and/or sides, one meal is big enough for two but it was nice to try different dishes. We had samosas, vegan chicken biryani, vegan chicken tikka masala and garlic naan.

Sorry, but this is not a good place… - Edit
We had dinner and wanted to play it fancy with all varieties of options. But… service was very harsh, table wear was dirty… too bad considering the other reviews that were good. Maybe we went too late…

Inauthentic - Edit
Unfortunately the food did not meet the expectation, the flavours were dull and inauthentic. I haven’t tried other Indian restaurants in NL hence have no idea if this is the prevalent local palette adapted flavour…

Many vegan choices - Edit
As mentioned by others, it’s a restaurant that also serves meat with a separate vegan menu. But there were so many vegan options on that menu that it didn’t bother me. The food was tasty, however, we waited around 45 minutes until the food was served.

Verry good menu vegan available - Edit
The restaurant is very good. All the food is tasty and fresh and the potions are verry generous. Otherwise I didn't like that they pretend to be a vegan restaurant. The vegan indian dosn't exist, its just a menu vegan in the Bollywood restaurant. They do have a full and ellaborated vegan menu. Everything we tried was very very tasty. The rice is included and we didn't know so we had too much food. Its very expensive.
Read morePros: Menu vegan available, Fresh and tasty
Cons: Expensive, Pretend to be a vegan restaurant

Sheesh kebab fan? This is your place - Edit
Not exactly easy to digest. But very savoury and worth the (over)price. Nice location. A central location too.

OK - Edit
It’s not it’s own restaurant—it’s part of the non-vegan restaurant Bollywood. They share the same kitchen. They say they keep things separated but who really knows?

Not vegan - Edit
When I choose vegan restaurant I expect not to sit next to someone eating animal. It was just separate menu.

Not a vegan restaurant - Edit
This restaurant serves meat, it just has a separate vegan menu. My starters were served with dairy yoghurt sauce and I was just told not to eat it.
Read moreIf you want a fully vegan restaurant there are plenty others in the area!
This should not be listed as a vegan restaurant.

incredible vegan menu - Edit
amazing vegan menu, missing nothing from your typical omnivore menu.
Read morewe had cheesy garlic naan, butter chicken and panir (tofu) tikka masala, comes with rice.
personally not a fan of the flavour of vegan cheese in the naan, but it melted well. the mock chicken was amazing, and the tofu is actually well marinated in spices of the dish. great flavour.
Pros: had all the vegan breads, inc. garlic cheesy naan, delicious marinated tofu dishes to sub paneer, All curries served with rice

Nice vegan meat dishes - Edit
I know a lot of reviews state this place is not fully vegan but I do like their separate vegan menu. Most restaurants serving meat have limited vegan options, this one has a lot. Also you will rarely find an Indian restaurant serving vegan meat dishes. I tried the food with home delivery - the plant based chicken madras curry which was really hot (even for me) but nonetheless, tasty. Vegan mango lassi is good too! Personally, I’m quite impressed.

Very expensive but quite good, vegan menu is seperated - Edit
I always prefer the vegan menu to be with the other one so non-vegans would rather order something...
Read moreThe food was incredible, we had the vegan butter chicken and the vegan massala. Both pretty expensive with 18€ each though

seperate vegan menu - Edit
They have two menus: one vegan and one non vegan. But the food was really good. I had the butter 'chicken' with naan on the side. My friend had the 'chicken' masala. They were both really good.

Don't recommand - Edit
I went there thinking it was a vegan restaurant but it wasn't. You even have to ask for the vegan menu cause it's not writen on the regular menu. I feel like I've been coned.
Read moreThe food was not so good and the dessert was a individual ice cream bought from a supermarket. They made us and other customers move for à group of noisy men and we waited a long time to be served.
Cons: Not vegan !, Bad service

Also called Bollywood India - Edit
We had to ask for a vegan menu. Spent more to have the vegan chicken biyani based in rice but enjoyed it - that is too big for one, better to shareit. Also enjoyed saag kofta alot, this is hard to find vegan. Paneer (tofu) tikka masala was good but had big onion pieces in it we just dont like. Servings generally are standard for Indian restaurants, good for sharing, each came with rice.
Read moreThey would not provide tap water, only the option to buy bottles. We just drank from our personal bottles. No where else in Amsterdam was this a problem.
Pros: Good quality vegan Indian food, Location - other vegan places also on this street
Cons: They don’t provide tap water, you have to buy, No outdoor seating

Delicious and affordable veg curries - Edit
My partner and I ate dinner here on an early Friday evening. We were lucky to have arrived just in time (around 18.00) before the small restaurant filled up quickly.
Read moreThe food was delicious and freshly prepared. The portion sizes were decent, neither of us had space for dessert after our main course. If we had ordered starters, we would not have been able to finish everything.
The staff was friendly, quick and efficient while very busy serving all the tables. Together with the minimal table furnishing (paper placemats on bare tables, no decor) the bustling servers gave the restaurant more of a diner athmosphere. Personally, we did not mind as we got good value for our money and got to leave on time for our further evening plans.
We would definitely come back again!
Pros: high quality food, affordable prices, friendly service
Cons: more of a diner than a restaurant athmosphere

Not vegan - Edit
As many people have stated already this is NOT a vegan place. It is a place that sells dead animals and has a separate vegan menu. Of course, you can never be sure that what you're getting is actually vegan in this case.
Read moreService is very arrogant and rude and doesn't seem to feel like working there.
Extremely long wait times for food.
Went twice just to be sure I didn't catch them on a bad day. Honestly, it's outrageous that they're still allowed to be listed as vegan here (just because they're paying for the listing??).
Cons: Not vegan, Slow, Rude staff
