I was in the mood for Indian, something I have not had since going vegan. I went to the local and well loved
Pilgrims Korai and said I may need a little help ordering as I am vegan. The staff member quickly said, "So no meat, dairy or eggs" which was a very good start. We went through the menu and picked out some things I wanted that were vegan, I went a bit nuts on the quantity so I am having Indian tomorrow too, not really a bad thing.
I went for vegetable dansak, coconut rice, bombay potatoes, paratha, popadoms and vegetable samosa. They switched the mint sauce for mango chutney as the mint sauce is made with yogurt and I was going to order onion bhaji but they said they have egg in them.
For service, 5/5 and taste, the same again. Dansak is definitely a new favourite of mine.

oooh, looks delicious!!! how lucky you were they knew what vegans didn't eat - that is a good start - usually they just look at you as though you're from another planet if it's not a veg-specific restaurant!
ReplyDeleteoh, and tootsie's a real cutie...
The restaurant is a much loved local and they are always happy to help but this was the first time I have been there as a vegan, they passed the test.
DeleteTootsie said thanks for noticing.
