InDelicious has become possibly my favourite spot in Prague, and it is disappointingly under the radar here. It’s rarely reviewed on Happy Cow or mentioned in vegan groups, but everyone should be going there because it is fantastic. It’s off the beaten track, so it doesn’t lure in many tourists or get much foot traffic, but it’s well served by public transport and well worth a trip. They serve Indian street food. It’s a vegetarian restaurant with lots of labelled vegan options, and the owner is very open to feedback and making it more vegan friendly, which I love to see. It’s a great restaurant to support, and every dish we’ve tried there has been a hit – and we’ve tried plenty.

The menu is so good that it’s one of the rare places where neither of us has a favourite dish that we order every time. The sev puri is pretty close to that, as we almost always get it for our shared starter. I’d never even heard of this dish before trying it here, and now I heartily recommend it to anyone. You get five in a portion, and each one is kind of a fried cracker, topped with some chutneys and onion (they ask about your preferred spice level when you order), and lots of crispy sev. They’re a bit too big to eat in one bite, and crunching into them makes quite a mess, so be prepared for that. It’s worth the mess though, they are just the perfect texture and taste combo.

The pani puri are also a winner. We’ve had them with the potato filling separate as shown above, but we’ll also had them with the holes already poked through and the filling inside. The sauce is quite spicy, but it makes a beautifully balanced dish. It’s always such a fun explosion of flavours.

I can rarely resist a pakora plate, and this is a very good version of it. The potato pakoras are the neater ones on the left, and they’re good, but the onion ones on the right are absolutely sensational. The texture is excellent from the onion slices, and the batter is perfect. The plate is dusted with a really tasty spice which makes everything sing even more.

Onto the main dishes, we’ve tried quite a few. The aloo paratha itself is vegan, and the non-vegan order simply comes with dairy yoghurt whereas the vegan order comes with pickles instead – and the staff will happily top up the pickles if you run out. In truth, the potato filling doesn’t always get the seasoning perfect – it sometimes tastes mostly of chilli rather than any of the other tasty spices you might want. But the bread is always great, and the pickles are a fun accompaniment. It would be great to get a non-dairy yoghurt on the side to help with that chilli heat.

Dr HH has also tried the idli, which are fairly bland rice dumplings that drink in the flavours of the accompaniments. The dumplings were good at soaking up the tastiness of the sambar.

This is the vadha sambar, which is two big potato cakes sitting in that spicy sambar. Obviously the potato cakes lose that fried crispiness to them, but you probably know that when you order – I wouldn’t order this dish because I wouldn’t want to lose that texture. Again, the sambar is always good and flavoursome. Dr HH considers that the potato cakes are superior to the rice cakes above, making this the better of these two options.

Another one that Dr HH has tried is the ragace pattice with rice. This time the potato cakes are on the side, which I’m always in favour of! It was less cohesive for Dr HH though, I suppose more of a deconstructed take on the two dishes above.

I’m a huge fan of the uttapam, which is these two pancakes with tomato slices cooked into them. They are quite thin, which gives a very pleasant texture, and the accompanying sauces bring a lot of flavour. I love the rare occasions when I get a vegan coconut chutney, so I’m always happy to make the most of that!

And I can’t get enough of masala dosas. I love how crisp this one is, and the potato filling is always just right, not too greasy. It can be quite hard to resist ordering this…but then, the uttapam is so tasty! And the paratha!

InDelicious is the best vegan Indian food we’ve found in Prague, and the most clearly labelled – there are lots of restaurants here that have vegan labels and allergen labels that totally contradict each other. It’s also one of the most enticing menus in the city, where it’s not just one dish I always order but a whole host of them to choose between. It’s pretty small, but you can reserve a table in advance to make sure you get in. They also have a masala chai with oat milk, which always hits the spot!
