Authentic India
Vegan-leaning Indian street food at Gloucester Green Market — samosas, thalis, all curries gluten-free.
Authentic India sits under a yellow sign and a red-and-blue canopy at Gloucester Green Market, and is the easiest stall to recommend if you're feeding a vegan, a gluten-free eater and a hungry omnivore in the same group. The chalkboards make the kitchen's intent clear — most snacks are flagged "All Vegan", and the line "All Curries are Gluten Free" sits in chalk at the top of the awning. The whole operation runs the tagline "Serving Fresh, Healthy and Nourishing Food."
Menu
Snacks are the value play: regular samosa, potato pakora, onion bhaji, mix dal pakora, and a Punjabi samosa with mint pickle, all at two for £3. Curry meals scale by appetite — £7 for one curry with rice and naan, £8 for two, £9 for three. The Mega Super Thali at £15 is the four-curry blowout, with naan, rice, salad, a samosa, a drink and mint pickle thrown in.
Bombay street food — vada pav, pani puri, aloo tikki — is £4 a plate. Samosa chaat and chole bhature, properly assembled with the chickpeas and fried bread, sit at £7.
Good to know
The stall takes up two adjacent pitches in the middle of the food run, with a samosa-display table flanking the main kitchen. Card payments are fine, and a chalkboard invites diners to flag allergens with the staff before ordering. Trading days follow the market — Wednesday to Saturday, with Saturdays the busiest. Look for the yellow "Authentic India" sign and the "Vegan" and "Samosa" labels along the front.
A separate Indian-cuisine stall, Signature Curry — chef Franklin Lobo's home-cooked Goan menu — also trades at Gloucester Green on different days. Different vendor, different cooking — worth distinguishing if you're hunting one or the other.
