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.“

“I always feel more comfortable when the vegan options are labelled, rather than having to trust any reassurances from staff that a menu dish is vegan. At India Gate, they have a Vegetarian Dishes section but 4 of the dishes are labelled vegan and 2 others have Vegan Optional. Also one of the Biryanis has a vegan option too! None of the breads are labelled vegan but I asked and was told the Chapati was the only vegan one. I chose the Chana Masala and two chapatis. Very flavoursome. The cost of the meal for 2 was very reasonable and the staff were very friendly.“

“The best food we had in Funchal so far. There is a separate vegan menu. The staff is very nice and you get a starter for free while waiting for your food. Not only the food was nice but also the experience definitely worth to ho there. I recommend this option“

“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 had a wonderful dinner at this restaurant. Vijay was very polite who took our order. The food came in steady pace. For starters we had papodum and onion bhaji, for mains we had Chana Masala, Dal Tadca, Nan bread(which was one of the best I had anywhere) and Basmati rice. All food was very tasty 🤤 Thank you to the chef as well.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“Bardzo dobra opcja wegańska , jedliśmy dal tadka i talez wegański. Szczególnie polecam talerz wegański, który składa się z kołku małych dań. Danie smaczne, miła obsługa , moim zdaniem jedna z lepszych wegańskich opcji w Funchal“

“Loved this restaurant for the choices of gluten and or lactose free dishes, they are able to cater for your needs. I ate the vegan starter, vegan main and vegan dessert which were all excellent, easily the nicest food I'd had in Madeira. Husband also thought his non vegan dishes were delicious.“
