My excitement to try vegetarian options here quickly vanished. 😩 The Vegetable Jalfrazi had massive, inedible chunks, clearly visible in the photo. 🥕 The Garlic naan was utterly bland, lacking coriander or salt. 🤢 We left hungry, paying in full for this disappointment. 💸 I absolutely would not recommend this place for vegetarians. 👎

The Lamb Jalfrezi had the perfect balance of spices & tenderness, while the Sheekh Kebab was juicy & packed with authentic taste

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal & will definitely return when we’re back in Galway
Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic & delicious Indian cuisine
Absolutely loved our dinner at Tulsi Indian Restaurant. The food was full of flavor and tasted incredibly fresh. The chicken tikka masala was rich and comforting, the fried jumbo prawns were cooked perfectly, and we also had a chickpea and spinach curry dish that was amazing too.
What really made the experience stand out though was how friendly and welcoming everyone was. The service felt genuine and attentive without being over the top. One of those places you leave already talking about coming back to. Highly recommend if you’re in Galway and craving great Indian food.
