Hummus with vegetables, mixed fruit juice
Trond Anders S.

it was just ok, bit the staff was polite. Had to move through the kitchen to wash hands.

The menu

Fresh made-to-order vegetarian Indian food. Hot chapatis. Had the shahi paneer and mix veg, both were good. Bada and samosa were also good. Rice was flavorful with cloves and cardamom. Shubrata gave us some pickle and even made chai on request (not on the menu). Recommended.

The bread was okay and the soup was meh. All microwaved. :(

We were hoping this was going to be a hidden gem, because of all the previous reviews, but it was just a rock....Most reviews on here were good and from about a year ago, so it seems like something has changed. The guy working there was really nice, but they need to have a cook and someone to work the front. Since it was just him everything was microwaved and gross because of it. The food deserves 1 star, but the guy was so nice we're giving it 2. The microwave made it so the food wasn't evenly heated and tasted old. We loved supporting vegetarian/vegan restaurants, but it isn't worth coming back until the improve it.

Vegan curry and the dish closest to cam forgot the name but incredible

Stellar Food friendly service and adorable tiny restaurant our server was also the chef. Attentive helpful and most importantly made each of our vegan selections Spectacular. This was easily one of our favorite dining experiences in Rome FYI meals are served with paper plates and bowls if you can look beyond this I'd give vega more stars if allowed. Curry was modified to be vegan we had 2 baked appetizers served with chutney - these were incredible one filled with potato and spinach the other mixed veggies loved the break from fried appetizers chapati was perfect light and flavorful basmati rice with veggies was filled with beautiful aroma and flavor I tried Ayurvedic tea and loved the lavender notes my partner had ginger orange juice she added some sugar she stated it was a bit tart after musing she loved it We received an almond chutney with our main courses that was tasty and unlike any chutney I've had anywhere Total cost for two starving ppl 40 euro (4 baked app rice curry and one other dish and drinks!)

This little place which is very easy to miss, is a little gem for your Indian food fix, while you on vacation. This is an owner run business, where the food is cooked fresh, so expect to wait for a little bit while you enjoy a drink. Once you add everything up its not exactly the cheapest meal but the quality is very good, which makes it good value for money. I have attached some photos so you can see what the shop looks like when you walking past.

Everything was fine initially but then we got a Malai Kofta which was as hard as rock, the staff…read moretook it back but refused to explain what may cause such a strange phenomena and I suspect that the dish had known better days and perhaps better years in the restaurant's ice box. We were given a different dish, without consulting with us, and when we paid the bill the staff boasted that the replacement dish was complimentary, yet they still charged us for the fossilized Kofta. Needless to say I didn't feel like eating anything after being served a rock on a plate.

This is by far the best Indian food I have ever had! We…read morebooked a hotel just a few steps away and passed by this restaurant every day, and in the last day we decided to try it. We really regret we haven't gone there before so we could go again. The atmosphere is so cool and the decoration is very nice. Service is more the perfect and the food...wow you don't know what good food is before you try what this little place has to offer! We're vegetarian and they have a whole page of vegetarian dishes(you can find a picture of the vegetarian menu in my photos). So I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for awesome and affordable vegetarian food. Also the prices are very very cheap! Super highly recommend!!! Thank you Yelp for not disappointing again, and thank you Little India for a beautiful evening!

Came here on a week night, when in search for a restaurant opened late with vegan options. This…read morerestaurant is entirely vegetarian and many items are either default vegan or can easily be made vegan. I didn't make a reservation, but they still accommodated me, despite being busy. I was so thankful I got a great table right by the window. The service was very prompt and friendly. They brought me bread and water almost immediately and the bread was warm and freshly baked. I was then brought out a complimentary soup starter, which I was assured was vegan. It was a creamy vegetable based soup and was so comforting and light. For my entree, I ordered the Crispy Pasta Tart made vegan which contained sautéed veggies that were well seasoned and a savory nutty cheese inside a perfectly crispy shell. It was to die for and I also drooled at the gorgeous presentation! I regret not ordering dessert, as the vegan options sounded so enticing, but I was stuffed from eating earlier! The decor and ambiance of the restaurant was both elegant and eclectic and a pianist played as I ate. This would be such a great restaurant for a date, but I still very much enjoyed the vibe eating alone. They also have a lovely patio outside, if you reserve in advance. I would definitely return on my next trip to Rome!

It is located in the midst of a busy shopping street, so it was really convenient and we tried the appetizer sampler which was SO much food. The broccoli flan was delicious! We had also gotten the pumpkin Parmesan, I think? That was also really good! The restaurant itself was pretty quiet when we went but the ambience was pretty nice.

In fact I enjoyed it so much, could happily marry the cook and it was a highlight of our trip to Rome, that we lucked out and found this restaurant. Apart from the food, both Sukhwinder and Asad were fabulous servers. I want to especially give a shout out to Asad, as he was uber prompt and attentive in anticipating our eating needs. Food wise, I can honestly recommend everything! We tried four different main dishes and each of them had their own distinctive flavor: 1) Mutton curry: the taste of the curry was so good, perfectly spiced and the mutton pieces were rich and flavourdul, making every bite a sheer delight. 2) Palak Paneer: luscious, creamy and earthy. Wonderful taste of the spinach and just the right amount of paneer. Very well balanced flavours 3) Dal Makhani: blissfully melt-in-your-mouth flavors, and tasted of proper ghee! the lentils were perfectly cooked and I couldn't stop going back for another bite, and then another bite, and then just one more bite.. 4) Gobi Aloo: the potato in this dish (le sigh!) so creamy and tart and the cauliflower pieces were just in that perfect state of al dente! Both the Tandoori Roti and the Vegetable biryani was amazing as was the Lassi and the Desserts: 1) Pistachio Kulfi: OMG. Melt in the mouth and creamy - absolutely gives the local gelato a run for its money. 2) Gulab Jamun: warm and perfectly cooked fought that was in just the right amount of sugar syrup! I really couldn't decide which Main course dish or dessert was my fave, it was all just do super delicious! So if you too find yourself in the vicinity of the Colosseum and want a change instead of pasta, heartily recommend coming here to get some Indian food instead!!! Yelp 275/ 2018
