Gujarat Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

I'm glad to hear that Gujarat restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, offers excellent Indian vegetarian and Jain food. I recently had the pleasure of dining there and was thoroughly impressed with the culinary experience.

The restaurant's ambiance was warm and inviting, creating a comfortable setting for a memorable meal. The staff was attentive and accommodating, making sure all our dietary preferences were taken into consideration.

Now, let's talk about the food! The menu featured a wide array of delectable vegetarian dishes, perfect for both vegetarians and those who follow Jain dietary restrictions. Each dish was prepared with utmost care and attention to detail, showcasing the rich and authentic flavors of Indian cuisine.

The appetizers were a delightful start to the meal, with options like crispy samosas and flavorful pakoras. The main courses were the highlight of the dining experience, with a variety of curries, dals, and vegetable dishes that satisfied every palate. The use of fresh ingredients was evident in every bite, making the food not only delicious but also wholesome.

Their roti were freshly baked, serving as the perfect accompaniment to the flavorful curries. I particularly enjoyed the Jain-friendly dishes, which were prepared without onion and garlic, yet still bursting with taste and spices.

Overall, Gujarat restaurant provided a memorable and satisfying dining experience for both vegetarians and those seeking Jain-friendly options. The quality of food, warm hospitality, and attention to dietary preferences make it a must-visit for Indian cuisine lovers in Ho Chi Minh City. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a taste of authentic and delicious Indian vegetarian...

So we’re on the plane to Saigon from Hué and we see an add for this Indian restaurant chain. That’s what first put this on the map for us.

I see they have dosas, and I love dosas, so we went for breakfast. The first day we had a plain dosa and a Mysore dosa. Both dosas were not that crispy, but they were tasty (especially the Mysore dosa, which had nice spice). We tried the chai and it was slightly sweet, so we asked for more sugar.

Second time we go we tried two Mysore dosas. Both were cooked well (crispy), but mine wasn’t as spicy as the first time. It was a different server and I think they may have toned the spice down a bit as we’re not South Asian. When I inquired, the manager had the kitchen make it again, but this time it wasn’t as crisp as the previous one. It was spicier though, so there’s that at least. Again, we ask for sweet chai, but it’s not so sweet so we ask for more sugar.

Third time we go, we again ask for sweet chai, and again have to ask for more sugar. You’d think at this point they would know we like sweet tea. We tried the samosas which were good, and the aloo paratha (which were not great as they were flaccid and not much filling to speak of). The aloo paratha were served with a side dish of homemade yogurt which was excellent.

The food is good, but uneven in execution. Sometimes the dosa are crisp, the next time they’re undercooked. One time the dosa is spicy, next time it’s not, etc. The sambar is tasty.

Overall, I’d say the service is good. Very nice people, but having to repeatedly ask for the sugar for the chai is awkward.

The atmosphere of the place is lovely....

During a recent trip to Ho Chi Minh City, I stumbled upon a gem that catered wonderfully to the tastes of Indian vegetarians, especially those from Gujarati and Marwari communities. This place, a haven for anyone craving authentic Kathiawadi and Rajasthani cuisine, felt like a little slice of home right in the heart of Vietnam.The food quality and taste were nothing short of amazing.

It's a rare pleasure to find a restaurant abroad that can adapt its menu so flexibly, offering dishes without onion and garlic upon request—a boon for Jain and Vaishnav travelers.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Nanji, an Indian staff member, who was a treasure trove of local information and made our dining experience even more delightful.

While the restaurant doesn’t offer a Jain Thali, which requires you to order a la carte, the available options are still extensive and satisfying.

If only time had permitted, I would have loved to try their Idli and Dosas for breakfast.

Overall, this restaurant is an amazing find for Indian vegetarians traveling in Ho Chi Minh City. It's a place where the warmth of home meets the excitement of travel, and I left hoping they might consider adding a Jain Thali to their menu in the future.

Highly recommended for a taste of home while exploring the vibrant streets of this...
