You don’t get what you pay for. The Taco and Buddha bowl were basically just lettuce and tomato, a thin slice of avocado (that also had brown spots on it!), one tablespoon of beans or a tiny bit of tofu, absolutely no seasoning at all just a dressing of oil and sugar. The vegetable korma didn’t taste like korma at all, also lacking seasoning, and the naan was just like plain tortilla with no flavor at all. I was really happy with the idea of this vegan restaurant, I was so sad the food was disappointing.
Edit: Thanks for your response. (I was not the customer complaining about the avocado.) My biggest disappointment was that there was absolutely no spice in any of the dishes, I was missing the coriander, lime, cumin, salt etc. That goes for all the dishes. The kidney beans (not pinto beans) were just straight from the can... And I did ask for more beans but still just got one more tablespoon. The pictures are very misleading, that’s why I ordered 3 dishes until I was full, spending a total of 225,000 dong, which is very expensive for a dinner here. I hope to come back before I leave and have improved food! As for the korma, I’ve had korma several times, and it did not taste like korma at all, because it’s missing the spices required for the dish.
Edit 2: There’s nothing wrong with the beans coming from the can, they do in most places. My issue was that there was no seasoning. And again, I only got about a tablespoon of beans, when there should be more and I would not consider it to be an accurate amount of ingredients. I don’t think the prices of the dishes are overpriced, but they are considering the amount of food you...

Read moreReview 1 Finally found it. Veg ball Manchurian with jasmine rice and Singapore noodles and a shikanji drink Was looking for el café and finally found it with the help of google maps as they changed their location to a newer and bigger one. Its close to muine de century resort and spa. Really liked the look of the place with nice hut like shape area to sit. Order was made pretty quick as expected. Wanted to try Manchurian as its my all time favourite and I only knew about two kinds veg n non veg but I had 4 options tofu Manchurian gobi Manchurian veg ball Manchurian and cheese Manchurian. Well I went for veg ball Manchurian with jasmine rise and had to order Singapore noodle. Veg ball Manchurian was so good with veggie balls dipped in thick gravy and my taste buds were going sweet to sour to spicy at the same time yes you gotta try it to feel that taste. Singapore noodles are usually hot but I asked the chef to make it a little mild and it was like he read my mind. Last I had shikanji drink which is a real thirst quencher and good for digestion. Would highly recommend to visit el café in el galaria because they have...
