I love a mung dhal #samoosa. These were tasty enough in terms of filling, but too oily (not the #sweetdreamsaremadeofgrease kind), which really detracted from the whole. 🏷️R50 for 4 via UberEats.

Fluffy, simple tasting plate of savoury pancakes. They were very mildly seasoned. I enjoyed the side sauces that came with the pancakes. The sauces livened up the flavour. The menu had such a variety of vegetarian and vegan dishes, I'll be returning to try out the other options. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant. 🥬🥕🥞 #vegan #indian #cuisine #veganindiancuisine #savoury #pancakes #uttapam

Very different. Steamed savory squares made from chickpea flower and tempered with mustard and sesame seeds. Quite spicy actually. Looks like a cake 😂.

Stale, cold, oil-soaked, crumbling #samoosa that were probably fried yesterday, with a bland filling of frozen mixed veg. One bite was bad enough. Don't know how any self-respecting chef sends this out the kitchen.

Had to try Shayona as it's a vegetarian and vegan restaurant. The yellow dhal, one of our home staples, smelled amazing, but was lacking in some quintessential North Indian spicing. #chillilover
