“Nice ambiance, but food was a bit bland”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 March 2012

We had the dal makhani and channa masala and found both to be a bit bland, which is good if you don't like spice, but we like spice so wouldn't go back there for Indian food. They also have other kinds of food available, but we didn't try any of it so can't say how it is. Staff is great.... More

Dear Guest, This is the first time we have had such a view point. We respect your opinion. We try to keep our spices moderate, but have a single chilli and double chilli option for our guests. You may like to try this out. Regards, The Café Vagabond Team. More

Very nice interior. Food just about the same as anywhere else. However, the prices are in no way more than elsewhere - so if you want a plush interior, and decent food Vagabond awaits. More

“totally second their claim of the best butter chicken ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 November 2011

Could do with a less spicier option but i guess that wont be the authentic taste delivered then, they advertise boldly of their butter chicken and black lentils which by the way the bukhara in delhi is the best for ,and after a meal at the vagabond we completely validate their claim. Do try the greesy naan bread . More
