"We had a family meal at Chennai Express, with four vegetarians and one vegan in the party. Not only was there a separate vegan menu available on request, but the server was very helpful in pointing out which of the dips served with the papadams were non-vegan (only the mint one, for reference). The quality of the food in general was excellent, and the portions were very generous. We were told that all of the food, including the delicious ginger ice-cream dessert, was freshly prepared on site. We visited mid-week, and the restaurant was fairly busy. I imagine it's worth booking ahead of time, especially at weekends. A very enjoyable dinner."

You need to ask the servers as they don’t have a separate vegan menu but loads of the items can be made vegan.
Faye
They offer a vegan menu and the employees are on it with vegan options. Fantastic flavors, original dishes and amazing service. #Veganuary

An unusual occurrence during my business trip - this time I actually had the opportunity to enjoy a meal. Typically, I go without eating for several days in a row, but on this occasion I was able to break that streak.
Paul
The service at this restaurant was excellent. Our orders were delivered promptly and the food was delicious. We dined in for dinner and the price per person was between £50 and £60. We rated the food, service, and atmosphere all a 5 out of 5.
Joanne
Really nice restaurant with authentic good food. This is coming from an Indian who has very high standards of what South Indian food should be like! I thoroughly recommend trying this place. As a vegan, we found several things on the menu. The staff is knowledgeable.
Maria
The food and service at this restaurant are fantastic! Ash, in particular, was incredibly helpful and polite. A visit here is definitely worth it. The dine-in experience for dinner is priced at £50-£60 per person. The food, service, and atmosphere all receive top ratings of 5 stars.
Joanne
I would have walked by this place on the way to Festival Place but the smell of amazing curry drew us in. They clearly mark on the menu what has dairy in it so you know what is vegan friendly. I was very happy with what I ordered, aubergine and okra dishes. I would definitely return.
Tom
The restaurant offers exceptional service with friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere. The dosas, filled with masala potatoes and served with three dips, are incredibly crispy and flaky. The idlis are also delicious. The portion sizes are generous and affordable. I highly recommend this place.
