Lovely, tasty food; served by very friendly helpful waiters. Great value as the portions are large plus they also do an early evening menu which is excellent value. Next time we're in St Andrews we will make a point of coming back here!

It was lovely. My girlfriend and I went and had delicious popoDom’s with sauce and then a mixed starter place which was really really nice. The highlight was the lamb bhuna and chicken tikka masala which was one of best we’ve ever had. To go with we had a garlic naan which was definitely the best we’ve ever had and pilau rice which was a treat. The house wine was tasty and refreshing and lemonade good too. Thank you MaiSha

Lovely, humble yet professional staff. Cozy atmosphere and a large choice of meals. Ask about spicyness if you’re not that used to it (like my girlfriend ). The naan and rice was incredible! And so was the meal ofc .

Amazing staff, wonderful food, and a clean environment. You couldn't really ask for more from a restaurant. They were very helpful with what vegan options I could get and the portion sizes were great. I ordered the Dhal Samba, Boiled Rice and Chipati. I was completely fulfilled afterwards, which can be a problem sometimes with Vegan food, but there was no issue here . Definitely would recommend if you want a great vegan restaurant experience in St. Andrews.
