Average Indian restaurant, with limited understanding of vegan options

The food is ok, but not amazing, especially if you like quite spicy curries.

I had the vegetable thali, but as nothing was labeled vegan on the menu, I explained that I was vegan and could my food be made without butter ghee and yoghurt. I asked specifically if the naan bread had yoghurt in and I was assured it didn't. I wasn't asked if I had any allergies. When my food arrived, I noticed that I had been given saag paneer, the same as my vegetarian friend, who had the standard veggie thali. I sent it back and they apologised and brought me a saag aloo instead, but it didn't fill me with confidence that they understand what vegan meant.

The thali had rice, naan bread, bhindi bhaji, saag aloo, gobi aloo and my friend and I shared a daal which was quite bland. The other curries were ok and nicely cooked, but could have been spicier (I'll ask if I go again).

Pros: Atmosphere, Good range of veggie mains and sides, Prices

Cons: Limited knowledge of veganism, Didn't ask about allergies, Brought non vegan food, when knew I was vegan
