Our taste testers have checked out The Aubergine and have discovered that it is not exclusively Vegetarian (which the advertising implies), although they have increased the number of vegetarian choices on the menu. The food did not come up to expectations either, so that was a further disappointment.
The Aubergine (formerly the Jewel Of India) at 41 Magalen Street has now changed its cuisine to become Norwich's first "Pure Indian Vegetarian Restaurant".
Phone: 01603 666601/664152
Address: 41 Magdalen Street Norwich, NR3 1LQ
Open: Mon-Sun, 12-2:30pm, 6pm-midnight
