Indian Punjabi - Viana do Castelo

I dined here on Sunday, October 8, 2023. We ordered the menu del Dia #4 which was vegetable curry served with rice, naan and a beverage. Apparently this special is only available on weekdays, but the proprietor was so nice that he gave it to us anyway. We also ordered a serving of Chana (chickpea) masala and an order of samosas, which could be why we got to order the menu del Dia on a Sunday. I was assured that the curry and masala were vegan but if you eat here, make sure that you ask for the naan to not be buttered. Or forget the naan altogether because it might have milk in it. I forgot to ask about that The food is prepared to order so you can specify how spicy and hot you want your meal. This is unlike most restaurants where the sauces are made in advance and even if you order your meal at a low heat level, that's not what you're likely to get! I was happy with the meal and service and would go back here again. English is spoken. Total cost of the meal was 24 Euros and we had way too much food for two people.

Very good India food for vegetarians. Nice options and we enjoy their food.

I would have given 5 stars if it were allowed. We had the Chana Masala and Tarka Daal with red and pure rice. Our server understood what is vegan and confirms the most important dishes we ordered were vegan. He made the roti without butter. Nice restaurant and friendly server. Great English that was very appreciated in view of our limited Portuguese.

(Atualização após a nossa segunda visita: fomos lá novamente e pedimos todos os pães do cardápio para levar para experimentar a textura diferente. Porém, era tudo apenas pão pita que você pode comprar em uma sacola no supermercado e eles apenas coloquei sabores diferentes por cima (alho, queijo, açúcar com coco e reaqueçai na panela. O pão não é artesanal e não tem a textura amanteigada multi-escamosa. Uma decepção. Acho que uma visita é boa o suficiente, mas não bom o suficiente para visitas repetidas. Pedimos nan de queijo e alho, e pão indiano com recheio doce de amêndoa e especiarias, tikki masala de cordeiro, muito bom!

Bom serviço e boa qualidade, recomendo!
