Vegetarian · Plymouth
Only vegetarian restaurant in Plymouth, and the Gujarati cooking here is the real thing — light, well-balanced curries rather than the heavy oily masala you often get, all clearly made by hand. Families rave about the Kerala vegetables, the smoked aubergine, the sweetcorn curry, and the puri and garlic rice alongside. It's a small, homey room, cosy and quiet with a bit of incense in the air, so it suits younger children better at quieter times than a boisterous toddler afternoon. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, prices are gentle, and portions are generous without leaving anyone uncomfortably full. Staff are usually warm and welcoming, though there are occasional grumbles about a brusque reception, particularly around the set buffet nights. Worth phoning ahead for the Thursday banquet.
