11 Best Indian Restaurants in Funchal

“Wir waren in der Woche 2 mal dort. Es war unglaublich lecker. Es gibt viele vegetarische/vegane Gerichte aber auch Gerichte mit Fleisch. Wir hatten vorweg papadams, die mit mehreren Dips und etwas Gemüse kommen und richtig leckere Kartoffeltaler. Die sind wirklich zu empfehlen.“

“Excellent food, particularly recommend the chana masala. Several mains are clearly indicated as vegan, and there are a few more unlabelled (eg some starters, etc). Staff made sure to not bring yogurt sauce after we inquired about vegan food, I’m unsure if they automatically do this when ordering vegan dishes.“

“Restaurant has a seperate vegan menu - jusf ask for it. Food is really tasty and the staff is really nice and helpful and they can accomodate your level of spicyness. We went there several times and enjoyed each one. Would give five stars if possible. Updated from previous review on 2025-09-29“

“Vegetarian options: This was a brand new restaurant Mt Everest Momo and Ramen that had literally opened the day before.The momo’s are delicious. The chicken chili is too.Get a Carol beer and relax. I’m sure service will get surer with time- but everyone is friendly and nice already.“

“A nice restaurant with plenty of vegetarian options. Highly recommended. We ordered a garlic naan, aloo gobi, pilau rice, steamed rice and mixed vegetables. I asked if the food could be made too spicy and that was no problem. There was certainly still enough flavor in the dishes.“

“We have never had such delicious Indian food! Perfectly seasoned and well-filled dishes. We had Aloo Gobi and Paneer Matar with vegetable Beryani, highly recommended. For €30 pp we were done including drinks.

Vegetarian options: Indian food always has many vegetarian options and that is no different here. Our main course (2nd photo) was completely vegetarian and so were the samosas in the first photo.“

“Staying at the beautiful Savoy Palace, we decided to try this lovely looking restaurant for lunch and was very pleased indeed. The food was delicious and well presented. The service is impeccable and also relaxed and friendly. Well worth a visit, recommend this restaurant.“

“We really loved this Indian restaurant beside our hotel in Funchal. We went here twice and both the times the food was really good, the service was quick as well. Also people working there are friendly. It has a really nice sea view from the terrace so you can relax with some nice Indian food. I would definitely suggest this place if you like Indian food.

Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options.“

“We had the most incredible dinner at this restaurant. The food was perfect - the steak and octopus were perfectly cooked and flavoured. The serve was exceptional - a special thank you to Filipe and Bernardo for their kindness. They did not rush us at all and provided seamless service. Absolutely recommend for a lovely evening.“

“Amazing vegan thali. Lots of other vegan options on the menu. Great service - staff knowledgeable about veganism including advising my non-vegan/vegetarian partner that the paneer option he chose was not vegan. Updated from previous review on 2025-02-11“

“We went to this restaurant with meat eaters and weren’t expecting anything from the vegan options. I was impressed to see a couple of vegan options in all categories and they all sounded interesting and not just falafel on a plate. For starters I got the Tom yum soup with tofu and I am still thinking about it till this day. The broth was smooth, nutty and creamy. The tofu though was the star of the show! It was so soft and the way it had marinated had absorbed so much flavour. It was full of umami. My partner got the mushroom starter which was also good. The sauce was full of flavour and the mash was soft, however, my starter outshined it. For mains I got the eggplant which was cooked to perfection. It wasn’t too mushy, it was cooked perfectly. The smoked flavour worked so well with the sauce it came with and the mash. The sauce was sweet and worked so well! My partner got the stuffed courgette which again was good but not as good as my option. The courgette was filled with a great mixture of flavours and textures. The sauce on top was sweet and slightly spicy. For the dessert I got the chocolate mousse which I was a bit apprehensive about. I am so glad I picked it though because it was so delicious. It was a rich chocolatey flavour and the texture was light. On top was caramel popcorn and the slightly burnt flavour just elevated the whole dish. My partner got the Panna cotta and again, it wasn’t as good as my dessert. Everyone at the table (even meat eaters) agreed that I had got the best options all night. Full on flavour!“
