restaurant review #595 – Indian restaurant in the heart of Ghent! We were here for lunch at the end of December, and were the first patrons in the room.
We mentioned we are vegan and immediately got a seperate vegan menu with dozens of main dishes. That’s nice!
There are 9 vegetarian starters, of which only the paneer was said to be not vegan.
We ordered:
- starter samosas 8€
- starter mushroom pakoras 7€
- tofu masala 18€
- tofu zalfrezi 19€
The starters were really nice, and a very decent portion (especially for that price!).
The mains were ok, they both tasted (and looked) quite similar, one a bit more spicy than the other. Came with white rice.
The garlic naan and stuffed naan were super! Very heavy with fresh garlic!
Friendly service (at least from the owner?). The other person serving didn’t say anything…
But although there were no other patrons, it did take quite a while for the starters to come.
The place later filled for lunch. Lots of tourists it seemed.
It’s a rather small place, but there are also some seatings in the upstairs area.
Not accessible, small step to get in. Not a lot of room inside. Toilets are at the back – upstairs. No accessible toilet. Toilets basic, small, but clean (had some trouble getting toilet paper as the full paper roll seemed stuck inside the plastic box).
We would definitely visit again, want to try some of the other vegan options!
