delicious!

Really nice place, with good vibes!
There is a lot of choice (almost too much, it took us a long time to decide!), and at least half of the menu is vegan or can be made so.
Everything we had was delicious!

Just keep in mind that even the dish that we asked to be non spicy was spicy!

So flavourful and vegan options galore

So nice to have Indian food with abundant options. Better than any place I’ve seen where I live in Vancouver, BC, for vegan-friendliness. Loved the malai kofta with rice and chapati especially. Back soon for thali.

In the mood of Indian and vegan? Your place today

Beautiful place to eat Indian cuisine vegan revisited (paneer can be replaced by the tofu but same gravy with no gee).

Juices very tasty too. Quick service.

Best (indian) food ever

During our short stay on this island, we managed to visit Chana Masala three times. All three times the food, service and atmosphere was amazing. For lunch, we highly recommend the sharing platter. But any palak is always a good choice as well. A must visit!

Delicious Indian food

Always a favourite when visiting Koh Phangan, tasty and heart Indian food with a huge selection. My favourites are the paneer tikka, veg samosas, kadai paneer, kati roll and the masala chai. Vegetarian and vegan options available.

Die Preise sind gerechtfertigt! Genial!

Wir haben im Chana Masala gegessen, einfach, weil es draußen schon so gut im Vorbeifahren geduftet hat. Und das hat sich mehr als gelohnt! Super schöne Location. Durch die Bank weg unfassbar nette Servicekräfte und das Essen ist ein absoluter Gaumenschmaus! Kostenloses Wasser direkt am Tisch. Wir haben „leider“ viel zu viel bestellt, konnten uns also noch am nächsten Tag über die leckeren Reste freuen. Sehr viel vegane Auswahl oder man hat hinter vielen Gerichten das Zeichen (VO) für „vegane Option“. Super Verständigung auf Englisch.
Wir hatten -Fatima Hand with Falafel: 10/10
-Vegan Kathi-Roll: 12/10!!!!!!! Wow!
- Black Chana Masala vegan: 10/10
- Sambar: 8/10

Alles wirklich soooo gut. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

Im Vergleich zum einheimischen Essen auf der Insel natürlich sehr hochpreisig (7% Taxes sind noch nicht inbegriffen), aber das war wirklich jeden Cent wert! Yum!

Pros: Netter Service , Super vegane Auswahl, Einfach leckeres Essen

Delicious vegan options.

Really impressed with this place, being Indian ourselves. The tofu butter masala was so good. It's all very oily but that's what we expect from an Indian restaurant. There is dosa, kati roll, parontha and dozens of other options. It would be perfect if they offered a vegan raita.

Delicious!

Outside of India lots of Indian food is a poor imitation, but this place bucks the trend. Really authentic flavours, delicious food and heaps of vegan options - about half the menu!

They even do vegan naan which is rare as naans almost always have milk in the dough.

Have been back a couple of times already and almost everything had been great - our favourites were the Bhindi Masala (okra) and Baingan Bharta (eggplant).

Don’t miss it!

Tasty Indian food

Indian restaurant that has plenty of vegan options that are all clearly marked on the menu.

I had the aloo gobi which is my usual go to dish when eating Indian food. Had it with the rice of the day and the vegetable pakoras and it was really tasty. Good sized portions and very reasonably priced.

We sat outside on the floor, plenty of cushions and I liked the ambience of the place. Clearly a popular place as it got quite busy.

Would definitely eat there again, enjoyed the food.

Pros: Plenty of vegan options

Poor taste :((

Indian restaurant with interesting menu, many North Indian dishes, also Dosas and Kichdi; Dishes with vegan option or vegan are clearly labeled. Though, taste was poor, tried 5 different dishes and different bread, everything the same gravy, typical restaurant style Indian food, not authentic. Next time better stay with the dosas I would suggest…

Disappointing

Have eaten here a few times now and the food (heavy but large portions) is as bad as the service . And it's not cheap. So unfortunately I have to give this place a big thumbs down. It's also on some kind of a building site,.

Pros: Comfortable-ish cushions to sit on., Free carafe water

Cons: Terrible service, Heavy food, Mosquito central

Amazing food

I had 2 curries and 2 breads. All delicious and all vegan. I love that the menu has everything clearly labelled with vegan or vegan option. The staff were brilliant, so friendly and professional. I would definately return. The breakfast menu looked interesting and they do a set menu at lunch times too...

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Clearly labelled menu, Great staff

Best Indian food on the island

Been here multiple times and have tried the below
(Coming from an Indian so I can verify authencity ☺️)

Also, they can pretty much do any dish vegan, just mention it when ordering..

- Paneer Dosa: Amazing! Highly recommend
- Palak Tofu: Amazing! So creamy and the tofu is firm and you can bite into it. Lovely curry
- Khichdi: Nah! Bummer. Not enough flavor, and too liquidy. Had to force myself to finish it
- Veg Hariyali: Loved it! Super healthy, full of spices and delicious
- Chana Masala: Was okay! If you are craving Chana/Chickpea curry go for it, but there are much better options available
- Date ice cream: Yummy yummy in my tummy! Get this for dessert!!! 💖💖

Pros: Best Indian food on the island , Full of spices and flavor

Cons: Feel sluggish after at times, Khichdi was a total bummer

Good Indian food but spicy

People are really nice, the place is great and the garlic naan are very good. Be carful because it’s always spicy. Even if you asked them to be no spicy.

Ok food

We had the Masala uttapam which didn't taste anything and was soggy, never tried uttapam before so maybe that's how it's supposed to be..
Also had the Palak masala dosa which was ok, finally something spicy on this island!
Did not like that they don't have knives as I hate eating with my hands, yes I know indians eat with their hands but we're not all indian lol.

We just went back. Had the chickpeaflour omelette which was a bit dry, otherwise ok. The onion rings didn't taste anything like onion. Their mixed juice is amazing tho!
This time we actually got knives, so don't know why they refused to give us knives the last time we were there...

Cons: No knives?
