Feedback
The staff were not welcoming and initially claimed to have vegan options, but ultimately offered a dish with cream. Disappointed, we decided to leave so we cannot provide a review of the food.
The menu at this restaurant is predominantly meat-focused, making it challenging to find vegan options. After some searching, I discovered that all the vegetarian dishes are listed under the 'sides' section. I decided to try the Saag Aloo, which our server confirmed was naturally vegan and was incredibly tasty. Unfortunately, none of the naan options were vegan, and our server was not very helpful in exploring potential vegan modifications. Despite this, the rest of the staff were friendly and accommodating. My partner enjoyed a vegan-friendly pad Thai from the Thai section of the menu, while our friends ordered the massaman curry, which was flavorful but unexpectedly spicy for their mild preference.
The food at this restaurant is delicious. Despite its unassuming exterior, the dining room upstairs is charming with waterfront views. The service is excellent, and they are able to accommodate vegans.
Someone on trip advisor said that they can make anything vegan! I didn’t quite get that idea from them today, but I made sure the vegetable dish I wanted would be made vegan and the server was very accommodating. I asked for a vegetable dish to have chickpeas added which was really tasty (veg laziza) if you like chilli! Also the tandoori naan and veg paratha were vegan and delicious! My partner had veg Biryani and was also really good, with really nice curry sauce.
I have a table without waiting on a Monday night. I sat at the window with a beautiful view over the water to the mud. menu is a variety of Chinese, Indian and Thai choices. I have been for thai, which was amazing, full of spicy and much of it. my man had indian and said it was delicious. only something that made it give up was the rather rude fellow worker who took the command, he had no mercy and he pretended he was fed and in what we and others ordered, no eye contact or courtesy at all.
