Cafe Mumbai - Totnes

Vegans have a variety of clearly marked choices at this charming restaurant. Highlights include the creamy chana dal and the nicely fried aubergine with a turmeric hue and unique flat bean seeds. The richness of the dishes makes them perfect for sharing as a side between two people. While chapatis are not always vegan, they may be depending on the chef's choice of butter. It's recommended to inquire about the vegan options. Additionally, customers can request extra chilli heat in dishes like the dal to suit their taste preferences.

I really enjoy the fact that this restaurant always offers fish dishes on their menu. The food is very delicious. Both of my sisters, one vegetarian and the other who ordered chicken, also enjoyed their meals.

My wife and I visited this restaurant on July 19th while on vacation in Totnes. The food was delicious and they were able to accommodate gluten, dairy, and egg free diets. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the food was always fresh and tasty. Thank you!

Whilst staying in Totnes we decided to go for an Indian and came across Cafe Mumbai whilst out walking during the day. Being right at the top of the high street we would of missed it! We phoned and booked a table for 7:30pm and on arrival, only one other table was occupied. The restaurant had its air con on which was great because it was hot outside. We were instantly welcomed and put at ease and given menu's. So much choice and really easy to read which was great. I choose the mint chicken and my husband went for one of the specials. He asked one of the waiters for his recommendations and advise and he seemed very knowledgeable. We both really enjoyed our choices, and it was great the waiter came back over to enquire if my husband was enjoying his dish that he had recommended! It was really busy with people coming in for take outs, so a very popular Indian in the town. We weren't rushed and really got to enjoy the food. Whilst paying the bill the lady owner came out to chat and describe in a bit more detail about how she cooked the special dish and all the spices she used. It was really interesting. I would highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely return when back staying in Totnes.

I visit the South Devon region regularly and have eaten at other Indian restaurants in Totnes. On a recent visit, I decided to try Cafe Mumbai. It was a very good decision. Do not be put off by the restaurants somewhat dated interior, The food is excellent, learning much more to authentic Indian than Bangladeshi interpretation. All the dishes were full of fresh vibrant flovours and well balanced. Service was very good. Another sign of a good restaurant is hearing the reactions from other diners. Many were regulars, as were those popping in for take-aways. I will be back soon to try more dishes in their extensive repertoire.
