Omg their portions are insane 🤯 This, which contained 3 vegetable dishes and 2 dhals/curries, was actually only half of the show - you also get the choice of rice or 2 chapati, plus rasam, plus poppadum, plus deep-fried salted chilli, plus a chilli-based chutney of some sort. A veritable feast, definitely #foodcoma inducing! 🥰 For the longest time I thought I had tried and reviewed this standard #thali, but in fact when I checked abillion again I realised that was the "lite" option, and this monster is in fact the real deal 😋 #spicy and delicious, I love Ganga! 🙌

Standard Thali

Ganga were clearly playing up the Malaysian part of their menu for Vegfest (usually a token section in what essentially is a pan-Indian eatery), and thus stuffed #tofu was on the menu. The fried tofu was stuffed with various inoffensive vegetables, and the #evilweed. Which is very offensive 😒 Everything on earth is #betterwithoutcoriander ☹️ Even the strong-tasting green sauce couldn't mask that horrible taste. RM5 for a single lonely piece 😥

Genuinely not sure if this #currymee is a recent addition to Ganga's menu or a one-off special that they brought to Vegfest, but I'm glad that I got to try it 🙂 Either way it's clear that they haven't exactly nailed this yet, the #curry wasn't lemak enough and was way too salty, but I liked the #spicy kick that there was and I liked the texture of both the curry and the #noodles (though mixing in some beehoon would've been nice too) A mini-portion for RM10 that would leave you #stillhungry except if you were a dwarf, but hey Vegfest rules eh 🤷‍♂️

A good attempt at #fusionfood, these guys took one of Malaysia's quintessential #latenight favourites and gave it the Indian makeover 🙂 I can't tell you what it was but yeah. Contained #cabbage, #cucumber, #tofu, and #capsicum I think 🤔 Was the girlfriend's order - I always prefer the breads 😉

Remember to remind them about ten times that you want your #bread vegan. Our other bread (missi roti) ended up being brushed with ghee because we didn't put the vegan request on that specific item 🙄 And frankly, #paratha this good doesn't need additional flavours, certainly not from cows. It's already fried, it's #indianbread so it must be delicious, like what more could you possibly want 😏 This was a brilliant foil for the palak gravy in my last review! 🙂

Plain Paratha

Get the version without paneer to save some calves (and about half of the price 😁), there's more than enough flavour in this #spinach dish (#curry? #gravy?) to have with your choice of carbs. We went for plain paratha on the day and the combination was celestial 😋 Which is crazy considering that there isn't much else in this apart from the thick syrupy #palak. Would probably have been even better without the ginger contributing unwelcome notes. Would be a good non-spicy option here!

Argh horrible picture, oops 😬 Decent #mixedvegetables dish with #longbeans, #peas, #carrot batons and #buttonmushroom, with strips of #ginger as a condiment. #spicy, hellishly spicy, which may not work for everyone. And reasonably dry which provided a good contrast to the other dish that we ordered 🙂 Remember to tell them to drop the cottage cheese

Special it was indeed! 😋 The only #chaat option that was naturally vegan, because there's no yoghurt involved at all, just the sweet chaat (iykyk 😉) covered in a mountain of crispy #sev 🤤 There was so much of this that even for two as a #starter it was too much and we had to leave about a third of it behind, as good as it was 🥲 Nice of them to give us a little bowl on the side, because that came to house all the unwanted #evilweed 😒

Kind of a shame that the only vegan naan option in a fully veggie restaurant was the plain naan, but this was tasty with the curry dishes.

Definitely my favourite dish of the night - and a new favourite #indian dish! Spicy #aubergine curry with a surprisingly creamy texture. Delicious 😋

Baingan Ka Bharta

Delicious! Very thin and watery, which doesn't sound great, but it was surprisingly flavourful - spicy and tangy with lots of veg and chickpeas included.
