1947 Restaurant Bar - East London

We tried to order vegan pizza, cappuccino, and Indian tea, but unfortunately none of these options were available due to a lack of ingredients. Additionally, the food was extremely spicy despite us mentioning our preference for milder dishes to the waitress beforehand. Each item had to be paid for separately, and even the still water was priced higher than usual (usually complimentary at other restaurants).

This restaurant seems to be doing well. It is a completely vegetarian restaurant that also accommodates vegan options for most dishes. I decided to try two dishes from the Indian menu and found them to be very flavorful.

To my surprise, many restaurants are closed on Sunday evening in London. Every time I looked up a vegan restaurant on Happy Cow, it turned out it was closed. Since it was late and I was hungry, I had no other option than to select a vegetarian restaurant close by. 1947 Restaurant and Bar is both an Indian and Italian restaurant. The entire menu is vegetarian, however only around 20% is vegan. Many more meals can be made vegan, but so many of them had cheese listed as an ingredient that I didn 't want to run the risk. What if there 's an error in communication between the waitress and the kitchen? Or what if the chef accidentally adds cheese out of habit? I had lots of time to make up my mind, because even though the restaurant was very quiet it took a long time until the waitress came to take my order. I selected vegan biryani because I like biryani and because I 've tried it at so many restaurants that it 's easy to compare. It took a long time for the biryani to be prepared, but then it was served beautifully and smelled divine (as it should be). However, compared to other restaurants it 's a rather simple biryani. It has only one kind of rice (it is often served with both white and yellow rice) and only a few vegetables. There was no tofu, mushroom, potato, no nuts or any protein source. Also, the yoghurt was missing (which is used to extinguish the fire caused by the spices). The portion was generous and the taste was good. Although it was mentioned on the menu, 1947 Restaurant and Bar adds a 12.5% service tax. Why don 't restaurants just increase all prices on the menu instead of giving the customers a nasty surprise at the end?

I am so happy I ate here. The food was amazing, the staff kind and lovely. please check it out.
