VEGAN INDIA — Restaurant in Bristol

I tried out Vegan India recently and overall it was a pretty good experience. For starters I went with the vegan puri alo which is basically potato served inside a light puri. I really enjoyed it because the potatoes were cooked perfectly, soft but not mushy, and nicely spiced so every bite had a bit of warmth and flavour without being too heavy. It was a simple dish but done really well.

For my main I had the vegan chicken tikka masala and I was surprised by how much I liked it. The sauce was rich and creamy with a good balance of spice and sweetness, and the vegan chicken had a decent texture that worked well with it. It really felt like proper comfort food and I would definitely order it again.

I also tried the vegan chilli naan bread. It was alright but I felt like it was missing some flavour. It didn’t have much of a kick and I found myself dunking it into the mango chutney and the tikka masala sauce just to make it more exciting. Not bad but I expected more considering it was meant to be chilli naan.

For drinks I had the mango lassi but this was the weakest part of the meal. It looked the part but the taste was flat and quite bland. I was hoping for that refreshing sweet mango flavour but it just didn’t come through.

The restaurant itself is nicely done out though. It has a modern feel with a lot of green touches and plants around the place which gives it a relaxed and welcoming vibe. I really liked the look of it and it makes you want to sit down and enjoy your food at a steady pace.

Overall I would say Vegan India is worth visiting. The food has some real highlights especially the puri alo and tikka masala and the atmosphere is great. A couple of things like the naan and the lassi could be improved but it is still a good spot if you want tasty vegan Indian food in a...

(reply to the owner's message: thank you for your reply. But you misunderstood my message. I don't mean to damage anyone, but to give a honest review of the food I was served. When ordering, I asked for extra spicy and minimum of oil, and I was served very mild chilli garlic curry which had more oil than vegetables. I even sent the dish back to the kitchen when I saw how greasy it was, and after few minutes it was brought back, nothing changed but it had already cooled down. Given that I was dining with other people, I did not want to continue trying to change my dish that our social time would not be ruined, so I ate the very low quality, already cold curry I was given. I got nausea for three days because my digestion could not take that much oil at once. I eat mostly Indian food so I know it can be made without excess of fat. I hope you would take this as constructive and helpful feedback from which you can learn, and not to be offended. If you want to serve good food, you should take also negative feedback seriously. But I appreciate the kind and friendly customer service and the beautiful restaurant atmosphere. Thank you)

The customer service and restaurant atmosphere were great! Very kind, helpful and pleasant. But unfortunately the food was terrible. Even if I chose dishes that were meant to be spicy and asked to have them extra spicy, they simply lacked any flavour. I also asked them with minimum oil but they were soaked in oil. The portion size was great but greasiness and blandness very much...

First of all. Id like to say that i really liked my food. I loved the meat substitutes they offered and it was well made tasty food. Unfortunately our server seemed to have had a bad day and was not really friendly(no hard feelings, happens-i think I also heard him talk to another customer about it Beeing his last days or something like that, so I assume it's a personal problem he had). It was also weird that we ordered the starter with the vegan chicken nuggets with the mint sauce and it was missing without comment. We were then informed that most people don't like it which is why we got some other sauce (barbecue and something hot and sweet they were fine too, but we realized to late and would've loved to try it before asking - partly our fault as we realized to late). Most of the food was really good but we were thrown off a bit about the slightly sour garlic rice(we don't know if that's normal -just mentioning it in case someone else knows what to expect) as it is made with pickled garlic. I really loved my "mashroom" rice tho. Overall 4* the only star I removed was because we felt a bit unwelcome at first due to him having a bad day. If I could come again I would! Unfortunately we are heading out of the city now. Thank you for offering amazing vegan Indian food options! Overall we spend around 60£

PS later on we saw the otherwaiter talk to other customers and we were a bit jealous as he was very friendly. So it's not a usual...
