Very tasty vegan options - Edit

We had an excellent experience at Andhra Bhavan. The restaurant knew in advance we were vegan and advised there were many dishes on the menu which could be adapted for vegans.
To start we had the delicious Red Onion Dosa and the Plain Dosa. Both were full of flavour. Next we had the Gobi 65 which is an addictive chilli cauliflower dish. Then we had the Cut Mirchi, which is a delicious crispy chilli fritter. In between these courses and our main course we had Panipuri, which were flavourful and palate-cleansing. Our main course was the Gutti Vankaya Curry, which was a stuffed aubergine curry. This dish was not too spicy but was really tasty.

We enjoyed the food even more with Kingfisher beer and Pinot Grigio.

I think the menu could indicate more clearly dishes which are vegan or could be adapted for vegans.

Pros: Really tasty food, Lots of choice for vegans, Attentive service

Cons: Menu could indicate more clearly the vegan options

Very tasty dosa and vadi - Edit

It appears that all items on the menu are cooked with ghee. But the staff are very helpful and can ensure some dishes can be vegan. Unfortunately the Uttapam cannot be vegan. We had a dosa and Vadi. Both very tasty along with the chutneys.

Pros: Staff are aware of vegan requirements.

Cons: Still use ghee.

Excelent food - Edit

The 'traditional breakfast' foods are all vegetarian, and are delicious for dinner too. About half of the 'dinner' options are vegetarian, and vegetarian options are cheaper than similar meat options. I didn't check whether things are vegan.
I took the 'a little bit of everything' breakfast food option, which had a great variety of flavours, and there was a looot of food, which felt like very good value for €20. Especially for Dublin.
As the other reviewer (Lauraleec) said, service could have been better. It would have been even more enjoyable if I'd known what all the various dishes were.
Food was rather spicy, at the upper range of my own tolerance, which is very high by European standards.
Atmosphere was pleasant.

Good food but lacklustre service - Edit

Update to my review below - I went a second time and was told that the dosa already contained ghee and I could have more idly instead in the thali. I was confused as I had messaged previously and was told to just say you want it made vegan. I asked another member of staff about this and she went to ask the chef and said it was possible to make it vegan. We waited an over for the thali which was crazy and I'm a bit worried the dosa from my first vegan wasn't made vegan as requested as I was told varying things on this visit. I love South Indian food so want to return but having to wait so long for the food was also so disappointing and unacceptable. Other diners that arrived after us, had finished their meals and left before we even received our food.

I came here with a South Indian friend and she was amazed at how authentic everything tasted. The food was delicious, although some a bit too spicy for my palette but the coconut chutney cooled things down. Great selection of vegan friendly dishes. The service wasn't great but I'm hoping it's because its new but it also was very busy. Would definitely recommend making a reservation as couldn't get a table in the past without one.
