This elegant gold and red wood dining room houses a fantastic open kitchen that doesn't hold back any secrets. Chefs bustle about marinating tandoori and kneading naan. Your taste buds will worship a bite of their creamy spinach with homemade cheese. These busy chefs are clearly doing something right.

Still serving up some of the most authentic Indian fare in the city; went last night and every dish was spot on. Add the atmosphere and some cold Kingfishers - you can't go wrong.

Indian food is our favourite cuisine and we've eaten at tens of restaurants all over the globe. We've eaten out at Vedas a number of times and generally had tasty food for a semi-reasonable price. However delivery is another story..... the first time we'd ordered Vedas the food was mediocre - certainly not as tasty as when at the restaurant itself. But we recently ordered delivery again and had a horrible experience. We'd ordered the pindi channa, the bhindi okra, the palak paneer, roti's, garlic naan, and vegetable biryani. While the pindi channa and the rotis were okay I'm sorry I ever tasted the other dishes. Disgusting!! The bhindi okra was so saturated with oil, they were shriveled up little stubs that tasted like nothing except grease - completely indigestible. The palak paneer was an indistinguishable and unappetizing blob of goo, like a flavourless spinach and cream cheese dip, the few cubes of paneer not even well cooked. The naan was not light, flaky and tasty, but rather heavy, and the vegetable biryani, while tasty, was too greasy. Also generally not spicy enough. Almost instantly after this unappetizing meal (and WAY overpriced - almost 500RMB for such a mess) I was very sick..... we will never order delivery from here again and it even taints our in-restaurant experiences.

Over-rated. It's ok, not bad...that is all. There are much better Indian restaurants in Shanghai

Really good food. My colleague from India liked it a lot.

I've been a few times now and it's consistently good. Portions aren't huge, making it a bit expensive as mentioned by others.

Expensive but well worth it. Very nice atmosphere though a bit dark; the spiciest vindaloo I've had in China.

The tandoor chicken and lamb chops are incredibly tender - highly reccomended.

Oh, and if you order the garlic nan be prepared, I think they used about three heads of garlic when making ours.

I couldn't agree more. This place isn't cheap but it's definitely worth it. I don't find the tandoori spicy enough but it is very well spiced, not in the sense of quantity but in the balance of the spices. The black dal (dal makhani I think) was buttery and delicious, tamarind rice was very good, chaat papri to start was great and actually used black salt (a sort of sulpherous tasting seasoning that restaurants rarely dare use as it's a bit funky), I didn't find the samosas earth shattering but that's ok. Great nan too. This, and one of the most professional and charming waitresses in Shanghai (although one of the other girls was a bit, brisk).

I love restaurants that feature the kitchen. The decor, the wine and of course, the food was really spot on. Thanks to the CW Dish columnist who recommended this great Shanghai Indian restaurant. Keep winning awards!
