Vegan India!

A very lovely place! We were warmly welcomed by the staff, who also recommended the best dishes and explained how to customize the vegetarian options to make them fully vegan. The food quality was excellent across the board. Highly recommended!

Great Indian fare in KK!

This was a great find in KK. Before we headed to Sandakan (smaller city than KK with possibly lesser veg/vegan options) we wanted to have a nice dinner. The dal makhani, Kadai paneer and naans were great although the dal was a bit too salty for our taste. Most dishes on the menu could be made without ghee to make it Vegan. We enjoyed the complimentary papad and mint/coriander/yoghurt dip.

Pros: Paneer availability, Nice lentil options

Vegan Indian food

Our server was so helpful and told us which options could be made vegan from the veggie menu. We had pani puri, malai kofta and Dahl makhani. We also ordered naan and it was such a treat as this is rarely vegan. All so delicious 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Fantastic

We were in kota Kinabalu for two nights and ate here both times, on the vegetarian page of curries only 3 cannot be made vegan, (there is also a page of tandoor vegetarian options) we tried aloo gobi, bendi masala, baingan aloo and chana masala- all were delicious! As good as any Indian food I’ve had in India and worldwide. There is full comprehension of veganism as we asked if the naan can be made vegan and were told that there is no dairy products in the dough and they can omit the butter on top. It was very clean, you can see the chefs cooking fresh to order, the staff were friendly and attentive and the price is reasonable, would eat here again if we were staying longer and would recommend!

Definitely one of the best Indian meals I’ve ever had

Lovely service, nice quiet location with waterfront views.
The staff knew about vegan and could tell me all the options, even brought out papadam before meal with a different dip that was vegan.
I had the aloo matar it was sooo tasty, and they made a garlic naan for me as well. Cost 38RM total

Pros: Lots of options , Sooo tasty, Knowledgeable staff

Easily the best Indian restaurant in Kota Kinabalu

Was surprised that it wasn’t already listed on HappyCow but stumbled across it on a listing on TripAdvisor of the best vegan restaurants in the area.
The staff were fully knowledgeable of the vegan diet, guided us through the money of what was already and what could be adapted (mainly removing ghee), as the dishes are all made fresh to order this was straightforward for them to accommodate.
We ended up visiting twice during our stay in KK we loved this so much. Portion sizes are good, curries were full of flavour. Highly recommend the onion bhajees and the naan are out of this world!

Pros: Broad selection of menu items, Knowledgeable staff on veganism
