Husband and wife team make the perfect combination in this small, friendly restaurant. There are pictures of all the dishes and the veggie ones can be made vegan. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ate here and left very satisfied customers!

We visited for lunch so decided to share some small dishes. We had the onion bhaji, masala dosa, pani puri and vegan garlic naan. Unfortunately we were not blown away by the onion bhaji and masala dosa. Both were ok, but lacked a bit in flavour. The pani puri and garlic naan were very nice. I also had the vegan mango lassi, which was great! The staff is super friendly and all the food is made fresh.
It was soo yummy and fresh! Also happy that portion sizes were normal, so I felt nicely satisfied but not stuffed after dinner. Tofu paneer was so soft and nice, also loved the herbal tea.
Also first time in Portugal that I could get a vegan lassi! Very pleased about that.
