Standard Indian Food - Edit
Around 3 vegan entrees and 1 vegan appetizer. Plain naan is also vegan. Dishes are not labelled as vegan, but everything on the menu has allergens marked, explanations are on the final page of the menu.
Read moreThe food is fine and reasonably priced, for being in the Old Town. Service was not especially friendly and we had to remind our server twice that we had ordered an entree. The Old Town is not very vegan friendly, so this is a good, central choice.

Exceptional food - Edit
I would have given this place 5 stars but since it's not fully vegan it's not possible in the app. Amazing food, vegan options are unfortunately not marked on the menu, but the staff is friendly and the food tastes great, I left with a very full stomach feeling happy. The prices are not bad either, considering the quality.
Read morePros: Very tasty, Not too pricey, Very friendly staff
Cons: Vegan options not written in the menu

Great Location, Good Food - Edit
The location is absolutely ideal and the place is cozy. I had the Chana Masala and garlic naan. I enjoyed it a lot. I knocked off a star for the same complaint I see in the other reviews: unclear options. Don't waste your time, just ask. When I did, the nice waitress immediately pointed out the options. So I felt confident she wasn't guessing or anything, it seemed like a common spiel. Overall, a good experience.

Great Indian food! - Edit
I kissed many frogs today in Riga! Two of the restaurants I tried had only one vegan dish, one was deserted and one had their kitchen closed during lunch hour. Thank God for Raja. Plenty of choice and they even made me a vegan curry which wasn't on the lunch list
Read morePros: Delicious food , Great service , Very pleasant ambiance
Cons: None

Really good Indian - Edit
Was a little weary because the vegetarian dishes were labeled with an allergen 7 (contains milk) but there were a handful that were able to be made vegan. The samosas also showed 7, but confirmed they were vegan as well. The portions were large, and everything was delicious. Highly recommend the garlic naan!
Read morePros: Great flavor , Large portions
Cons: Menu incorrectly labeled dishes with 7 (milk)

Pricy - Edit
Decent Indian food, but nothing more than that.
Read moreThe portion size is fine for a person with an average appetite, a little on the smaller size.
If you're an Indian, you might want to order extra rice. I was almost out. Or maybe try something from their naan-section.
Edit: I had the vegetable curry (which isn't listed in the vegetarian section) and plain basmati rice.

Pros: Friendly staff
Cons: Plain papadum comes with jeera seeds. 😭, Small portions (for some).

Aloo gobi / dal - Edit
This place shouldn't be in HappyCow. Nothing is labelled vegan. Waitress will tell you, that Aloo gobi and dal are vegan. Ask & confirm & confirm-type of place.

Almost nothing for vegans - Edit
Quite expansive and there is almost nothing for vegans. Only like two ordinary dishes and that is all. I would say better to buy something in Rimi supermarket... at least much more cheaper...

Quality food - Edit
This place exceeded my expectations. It's a big menu and while there isn't a whole lot of vegan options, what they do make they do very well. The spice and flavor felt pretty balanced to me and the food came out quickly. We were also grateful to be fed at 10.30pm as other vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants had closed before then. The ambiance was nice too; we sat outside and enjoyed the music of street musicians nearby.

Cons: More vegan options would be great!

So good! - Edit
We were completely hungry and lost (because we were totally offline, NO Internet!) at the old town and find this Indian gem😄 we asked about the vegan options (I know that every Indian restaurant always has something!) and the staff said them quickly and with confidence! We felt ourselves safe to eat here. I ordered the cauliflower with potatoes, asking to make it without the spicy spices and promptly and positively answered! My hubby ordered the yellow lentils. As side dish, plain basmati rice. Was everything very tasteful. We felt so satisfied and happy! Including beer we spent 20€, was half the price we spent in another restaurant in Riga. And with a plus: the view!!! We recommend at all!

Very tasty indian food. Has some vegan options. Expensive, because one has to order a lot of the different components of the dish.

Amazing food and good staff - Edit
The staff pointed out the 5 or so vegan options and knew what vegan meant (not always the case) the food was spicy and delicious. My Indian partner absolutely loved his and said it had perfect flavour. Warning - I had the “level 2” spicy and it was very spicy for me.

Very accomodating! - Edit
Not entirely vegan, but the staff is friendly and helpful. I had a spicy cauliflower and potato curry and rice, and a friend of mine had a red curry with a cashew sauce. Just ask them to remove the cottage cheese and many options can be turned vegan!
