The Devil In Rye

We went there by noon. it was very empty, so we were not upset by noise, etc. I had the vegan thali and it was super yum! my meat that eats dad had the non-vegetarian thali and also liked it. but what I must mention is that for people who do not like to find food on the spicy side, it might be hard to find them like. the room itself was super nice and the service also. on the menu they also clearly showed the allergy advice of every food. all in all it is a great option for all people who like Indian cuisine!

We went here for our anniversary lunch I chose the food old mushroom salad as a starter and the butternut squash from the three vegan roast options. The spiced potatoes and the onion bhaji’s were delicious, and there was also a side of vegetables. The ‘main affair’ ie the butternut squash was disappointing, as it was basically just a slice of butternut squash filled with rice. It all left me a little confused. The atmosphere is lovely in the seating area at the rear with the view of the old monastery wall.

The food was delicious but it was a strange experience. I asked to book for 7pm and was told there was no availability so booked for 6.15pm instead. The place was half empty till we left just before 8Pm, so that confused me. They seemed to be short staffed when we arrived so it took a good half hour to get menu and drinks. We were however offered a complimentary starter which was delicious. We were seated in a corner so didn't see the lit up garden till we left which was a shame and the low chairs were quite uncomfortable. The manager said he is working on creating vegan desserts which sounds good.

Light, airy dining room with art displays, monastery view at rear and jazz playlist. Beautifully presented food including hard-to-find dosa and smoked aubergine that delivers on smoky flavour topped with a giant tempura chard leaf worth travelling for! Plates also showcase a rainbow of seasonal veg cooked to perfection with Indian spices and chutneys. Lunchtime prices are especially great value. A classy dining find in a lovely small town.

I took my friend for a birthday meal here tonight and we were absolutely amazed by the excellent service we received, as well as the menu know from the waitress! the whole food was excellent and the price-performance ratio is incredible, was really nice to taste a bit different!
