TLDR: Fairly good for the price, as far as Indian food goes. Be prepared for servers with limited…read moreEnglish. The malai kofta was excellent, but only came with two (yes, two) "meatballs" for lack of a better term. If you order naan, get one order per person since one order is one piece (albeit a plate-sized one). There's a lamb curry dish (blanking on the name but it sounds Italian) that's also fairly good. Samosas are somewhat disappointing. The owner is a bit gruff, but I'm willing to believe it's because he didn't seem to know much English. He's also not the first waiter to tell us "no" when we order something with no further explanation.

It's so much easier eating vegan in Italy now than it was a few years ago. But this place has…read morealways been a reliable source of vegan nutrition. After days of fruit bowls and gelato in Venice, I found this haven, which fed me a hearty meal of potatoes and seitan with basmati rice. Either I was super hungry or this food was amazing...or both! Exquisitely seasoned and cooked to a texture of perfection, the seitan was ahead of its time. Service was great, and our waiter was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about their vegan offerings. This place is on the island of Lido, so if you're staying in main Venice, you'll have to take a water bus/vaporetto or water taxi here; there is no other way. Check out the beaches while you're here; it's only a few blocks from this restaurant.

We were surprised to find that there are only two Indian restaurants in Venice's Islands and this…read morewas ranked #1 on Trip Advisor, so decided to try. On Google, it's listed as an Asian fusion restaurant, which makes more sense than calling it just an Indian restaurant. The owner of the restaurant is not Indian, and that is reflected in the taste of the food, but I think it's really commendable that the owner brought South and Southeast Asian to Venice. We ordered the Vegetarian Thali and the Vegan Pad Thai. The Thali included Paneer Makhani and Malai Kofta, both of which are traditional Indian dishes but were much sweeter than normal. Overall, the ambience and service were good, and we appreciated the variety of vegetarian options. However, if you are looking for truly authentic Indian food, just know that the flavors will be a little different here, but at least the option for Indian food exists.

I ate at Frary's many days ago, but waited to post this as I've mulled on and processed my…read moreexperiences in Venice and here. Precisely, I had 2 meals at Frary's, because after the first one all I could do the next day running around Venetian alleys was gush about it to my gf. Over those 2 meals, we had the tzatziki - a bowlful of yogurt-spice delight that we scraped the last of with the excellent bread they serve, the hummus - another dollop of chickpea deliciousness, the dolma - which was served with delicious somewhat sweet carrot dip (muhammara I think) one day, but equally good curried babaghanoush the next day. For the mains, the rice-yogurt dish (whose name I've sadly forgotten) was served with steaming carrots and other vegetables and an utter delight, so we got it both days. The falafel was crunchy, fresh, green, brown, irresistible, hot, steaming, crumbly, did I say irresistible? Frary's the kind of place you can't practice restraint and just want to get seconds of everything and stuff yourself. The manouri dessert is interesting, served with a light cheese and large pieces of apricot (I think it was apricot). Lastly, my favorite spritzer ever was served here, some kinda ginger apertif. It was reminiscent of the routine aperol, but something was better about it - perfectly bitter and again just simply irresistible (and non alcholic too). So when I come back to Venice, whenever that be (but it'll have to happen, does anyone manage to go to Venice just once?), good chance I'll make a straight beeline to Frary's, and not the classic italian trattorie and ristorantes. La Dolce Vita!

This Mediterranean restaurant offers a very nice and welcoming interior with a charming ambiance,…read morethough sitting right by the door might bring in a slight breeze which felt nice. Payment is conveniently handled at the front when you are finished. One of the standout features of this establishment is that they are certified gluten-free by the AIC, making it a reliable destination for those with celiac disease. Their menu clearly marks numerous gluten-free options, and the staff is attentive, promptly providing safe accompaniments like rice cakes once a celiac diagnosis is mentioned instead of the pita. For the meal, we started with the mix di formaggi, a delightful selection of Greek cheeses. The main course was the mansaf vegetariano, featuring spiced rice paired with vegetables and yogurt. For dessert, we shared three options: the berry cheesecake, which was easily the star of the menu and a must-try; the rich chocolate cake; and the pistachio yogurt, which was unique though worth noting that it leaned a bit too heavily into a savory, spicy profile rather than a sweet one. Overall, it is a wonderful and safe choice for anyone looking for reliable gluten-free Mediterranean dining.
