At Indian Elephant Restaurant in the heart of Altea, we’ve built a menu that celebrates the incredible depth of Indian plant-based cooking — and every dish is available for takeout. From aromatic curries to crispy starters, here’s your guide to the best vegan Indian takeout in Altea.

Why Indian Cuisine Is Perfect for Vegans

India has one of the oldest and richest vegetarian and vegan culinary traditions in the world. Millions of people across the subcontinent have been cooking without meat or dairy for centuries, which means vegan Indian food isn’t an afterthought — it’s deeply woven into the cuisine itself.

Unlike many Western restaurants where vegan options feel like a compromise, Indian cooking uses coconut milk, cashew cream, aromatic spices, and fresh vegetables as the foundation of its dishes. The result? Flavours that are rich, complex, and completely satisfying without any animal products.

Our Top Vegan Takeout Picks

Chana Masala — Chickpeas simmered in a fragrant tomato-based sauce with cumin, coriander, and garam masala. This is comfort food at its finest, and it travels beautifully in a takeout container. Pair it with rice or our fresh naan alternatives for a complete meal.

Aloo Gobi — A classic combination of tender potatoes and cauliflower, gently spiced with turmeric, mustard seeds, and fresh ginger. It’s hearty, warming, and one of the most popular vegan dishes in Indian cooking.

Dal Tadka — Yellow lentils cooked until silky smooth, then finished with a sizzling tempering of garlic, cumin, and dried chillies. This protein-rich dish is the backbone of everyday Indian cooking and one of our most ordered takeout items.

Vegetable Biryani — Fragrant basmati rice layered with seasonal vegetables, saffron, and whole spices. Our vegan biryani is cooked in the traditional dum style, sealed and slow-cooked so every grain absorbs the aromatic flavours.

Baingan Bharta — Fire-roasted aubergine mashed and cooked with onions, tomatoes, and green chillies. The smoky depth of this dish makes it a favourite among vegans and non-vegans alike.

How We Make Vegan Takeout Work

At Indian Elephant Restaurant, we understand that vegan dining isn’t just about removing ingredients — it’s about building flavour from the ground up. Our chefs use traditional Indian techniques that have always been plant-based: slow-roasting spices in oil, building layered masalas, and using coconut milk and cashew-based sauces for richness.

When you order vegan takeout from us, you’re not getting a modified version of a non-vegan dish. You’re getting authentic Indian recipes that were designed to be plant-based from the start.

Our takeout process is simple. You can call us directly, visit us at our restaurant in the old town of Altea, or check our menu online at indianelephantrestaurant.es.
