Bhaji Pala

Popped in for a birthday eve meal, but sadly it wasn’t the best experience. Food was just okay—not great. Most of the dishes tasted quite sweet and had the same tomato gravy, even the chips. They seemed short-staffed and a bit all over the place—ended up bringing us food we didn’t even order. Had to ask for table water twice, and food arrived without any cutlery. The staff were friendly but clearly need a bit more training, and they definitely need more hands on deck.

After ordering a few amazing takeaways from this place we had to pop in to try the thali. Everything from the food to the service was incredible! Super friendly and welcoming staff and the tastiest vegan Indian food we've tried. The waiter even gave us the recipe for the drink that came with our thali because we loved it so much.
Highly recommended supporting such a lovely independent!

Highly recommended - the vegan food range, fresh quality, service and price has been consistent - for the past few years. Come here if you want good quality food and time without breaking the bank. Mint Cardamom Lassi is my favourite drink! Not too heavy and refreshing.

Been there before, had amazing food and amazing service, but this time the service was sadly lacking - and not just for us.
We'd booked a table and after about 20 minutes we had to ask if we could have a drink as was no sign of the server coming over (there was only 8 tables - and one that came in the same time as us was having the same issue). I asked for a cocktail (it was my birthday), only to be told they weren't doing cocktails that night (although it looked like another table had mocktails - surely thats mostly the same?!). We both settled for a cobra then watched them get placed on the bar, then the server who poured them left the bar, walked past us empty handed to see to another table. So we then had to stop the other server and ask if she wouldn't mind passing us our drinks (it had been half an hour at that point).
Then we had to grab the server on the way past to ask if we could have a menu!
It got better from that point in, but to be honest we were pretty cheesed off by then.
That all said, the food was still AMAZING. Can't fault the food at all.
It just felt like a family restaurant that's normally run by the parents but they'd taken the night off and let the kids run it.
I'd still go back because I value a bloody good vegan curry, but I doubt I could persuade my meat-eating other half to take a chance on all that waiting around again ☹️

First time experience of Vegan food. Food quality and service was good. Definitely will recommend the Jackfruit curry, Chinese Bhel.
