AVOID - MAJOR ISSUES

I've ordered from this restaurant 3 times.
The first time was fine, satisfactory food at a good price
The second time, one meal was left out and not delivered
The third time, one of the meals had a large piece of chicken in one of the curries. This is an allegedly vegan meal from an allegedly vegetarian restaurant. How does a piece of chicken possibly get into the food they are serving and how could someone be so careless as to pack it into an order.
Will never order from them again.

Good value, but nothing to right home about

Very convenient location, and great price but the food itself is a tad watery and not the most sanitary place.

Pros: Price , Location

Cons: Average taste

An Accessible Option for All

So thrilled to have found this place. Its an eatery with simple and yet so generous in their offering. All you can eat serving. I’m not sure whether its associated with the Hare Rama movement, but appears to have similar ethos. Well done!

I had the Thali, with chick pea and another pulse curry. And then sambar. Together with rice and Naan. All vegan.

Pros: Authentic indian protein, Generous serving, Act of service.

Quite good for the price

All you can eat for less than $20, count me in! Though overall the flavors were a little bland, it's nice to have a cheap and healthy option.

Watery and a bit bland.

unlike the other Om, this is pretty bland and watery. Yes it's cheap, but unless you keep an eye on your seat you are likely to lose both your seat at your plate if you are away for 30 seconds getting a glass of water.

The other Om in Tarneit is much tastier, but spicier.

Pros: cheap, vegan

Cons: crowded, may lose seat, took away thali plate whilst I was getting water, watery and a bit bland

All you can eat vegan curry and naan

Oh where do I start! Tis little gem is hidden in an arcade,. It much to look at but my gosh was the food outstanding!
The $8.50 all you can eat curries and naan was just Devine! Each dish has a serve of lentil, chickpea and vegetable curry, served with a fresh naan bread.
There is a menu you can order from, and some items appeared to have goats cheese in them. I have read a review somewhere that it is fully vegan but I can be sure. The all you can eat is definitely labelled vegan and I confirmed this.

Pros: Vegan all you can eat, Great curries

Cons: Some items listed as having goats cheese

Simple and cheap

Good to see OmVegetarian is all vegan now. It is still $7.50 for all you can eat, and now I see you can go back for more (during the worst Covid times they were not re-filling).

Food is basic, usually a dhal, a vegetable and maybe another dhal/ or chickpeas. A few pieces of bread and rice. Don't expect too much more variety or service.

Plentiful and all vegan now

For $7.50 you get a selection of 3 delicious vegan curries with basmati rice and pickles as well as naan with vegan 'butter'. No free refills during Covid, but so plentiful that I couldn't finish everything.
Amazing value

Perfect Cheap Lunch

I really love Om Vegetarian!

They offer an all-you-can-eat Thali for $7.50 (easily made vegan) although I rarely ask for seconds because the first portion is already very generous. It's a great city centre location and so cheap, tasty and nutritious compared to heaps of places in the same area selling overpriced sandwiches.
The staff are always lovely, it's always clean and tidy and the food is consistently good.

Pros: Cheap, Tasty, All-you-can-eat

Good food, great price

Very tasty and sure love the bread. Can't beat the price.

Only con is that the curry can be a bit watered down. But since you can keep going back for refills it's fine.

Pros: Cheap and delicious , Friendly staff

Cons: Curry isn't thick

The food is great! With 7.50 you can have an all you can eat meal with two curries, rice and naan. The naan is soft and fresh and the staff all very friendly.

Cons: A lil shabby but its what makes it homey

great value tasty food

I had the vegan thali and a vegan samosa. Both were tasty and it's fabulous value... $6.50 for thali and $2 for samosa. The staff were friendly snd helpful. It had a casual atmosphere. There were lots of tables with stools to sit at and only a couple of tables free... It's popular :)

Tasty Curry & Naan

Good find in the middle of the city, $6.50 all you can eat. The staff are lovely, naans are fresh and curries are hot, not really spicy enough but not a problem. Will be going back!

Pros: 3 Types of curries, Vegan Naan

Cons: Little cramped

Basic but good

This hidden restaurant is worth the search. The food was basic - lentils, a veg. dish, rice and naan. All you can eat. Although vegetarian they will provide vegan. The only inexpensive food we found in Melbourne.

Pros: price, service

cheap and comforting

At $6.50 for all-you-can eat (in 45 minutes) dahl, curry, rice, and fresh naan, there's not much room to complain.

They offer a vegan thali - naan without butter and a different version of the curry which, every time I've been, has been a few chunks of potato floating in a very watery gravy. Could do with another couple of veggies in there but, hey, I said at that price you can't complain and there I go! What a hater! I've always found the dahl quite hearty and satisfyingly spiced. The naan is a soft and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside - perfect!

Not an exciting culinary experience but if you're starving in the city, forgot your packed lunch, feeling dirt poor but can still spare $6.50 for a feed, you won't regret it.

Ok, but could be better

It is very cheap and I really want to support local vegetarian restaurants but I find that every time I visit I'm disappointed in the curries.
The naan is always tasty and I like that they serve the meal in a thali. I do think the vegetables are often watered down and lack flavour. They offer a fixed menu of 2 curries, rice and naan. I don't have an issue with a fixed menu but those 2 curries need to taste better or they need to offer 3 curries and give you an option of choosing 2.
I'll probably go back in a few months to see if it has improved but if the food was tastier I'd be eating here once a week.

Pros: Naan, Cheap

Cons: Lack of flavour in curries
