A buffet spread that boasts of over 50vegetarian dishes. A pizzeria that has only vegetarian toppings on its menu card. A pasta selection with the most exotic veggies, and an exquisite fine dining eatery with chole-bhatura as its top-seller. 'Vegetarian' has taken on a whole new meaning in the city. Gone are the days when the only options for vegetarians werethali restaurants and Udipi-joints. Today, the vegetarian can proudly walk into a classy restaurant that caters only to his/her food habits. And the prices match those of any other fine dining non-vegetarian hub. Steering this trend are restaurants like Le Pizzeria, South Indies, Soul Kitch, Dario's, Cream Centre and Shakahari. “It's a vast, untapped market,” shares Vijay Abhimanyu, MD, South Indies. South Indies, at Ganeshkhind Road, cooks up vegetariancuisine from the states of South India. Appams and dosas are served with an extensive array of foods like the Mokka Junna Miriyalu Fry, the podi-tossed Idlis and so on. Cocktails like the Rasa Vodka, Elaneer Martini and Chennai Cocaine go along with the south-Indian feast. Explore here Restaurants in Hyderabad.
Le Pizzeria and Dario's are two of the most popular Italian restaurants in the city. It surprises many that they're strictly vegetarian. "Not that it bothers us," says Minoti Shah, a regular at Dario's. "I usually enjoy non-vegetarian food more but at Dario's, the vegetarian fare receives full marks. I visit it every week. My favourites are the avocado salad, the crostini platter with sundried tomatoes, cream cheese, mushroom and aubergine, and theGorgonzola Pizza." There is a general 'healthy' tag attached to vegetarian food which these restaurants are cashing in on. Navin Patrick, general manager, Soul Kitch which serves 'vegetarian' world cuisine, says, "Apart from the health angle, we also get the chance to experiment more with different kinds of veggies. Often, our diners tell us that they don't miss eating non-veg when they come here." Nor do people mind paying fine-dining rates for vegetarian food. "Our ingredients are all imported. There is a growing ‘vegetarian’ trend. That also explains the great response to our new outlet at Phoenix Marketcity," says Karnalkar Usmaan, GM, Cypress Hotel, where Cream Centre is located. When Shakahari opened at the Pune Marriott Hotel and Convention Centre, it became the first five-star all-veg restaurant. Chef Pensiri Pattanachaeng, chef de cuisine- Shakahari, says, “More than 25 per cent of our clientele at Shakahari is non-vegetarian. We have a lot of expats who come to our restaurant simply to experience the menu since the concept is very different and unique.” Does the high price at such restaurants ever deter people - both vegetarians and non-vegetarians? "The margin of difference between a vegetarian and a non-vegetarian dish is never very large. There are instances when a vegetarian dish is more expensive but that is not a deterrent," he says. Certain vegetarian ingredients may be very expensive due to their exclusivity and their need to be imported. "The pricing of the dish depends on that," Chef Pattanachaeng adds. there are many more Restaurant/Hotel in India which are providing the best Dining Services.
