Mumbai is a city that holds its meat and chicken dishes very dear, but that doesn’t mean there is not much food for vegetarians here. If you are a vegetarian looking for some interesting dishes, check out these pure vegetarian restaurants in Mumbai.

Paradise For Vegetarians

If you go by stereotypes, a vegetarian diet is bland and boring. But just take a look at the offerings of these vegetarian restaurants in Mumbai and you’ll stand corrected. From your simple dal chawal to Mexican burrito bowls and Thai curries, there is a lot to try out.

1. Burma Burma

Burmese cuisine is predominantly non-vegetarian, but Burma Burma has gone the unconventional way. This pure vegetarian restaurant plays around with onions, garlic, coconut, chilies and spice mix Yessa to create flavorful curries, noodles, salads and sauces.

Skip all the usual choices and go for their innovative dish, Samosa Soup. Tiny samosas are dunked in a spicy broth with carrots, cabbage and capsicum. Sounds interesting, no? It tastes delicious too.

With generous servings of farsans, vegetables, dals, chutneys, dhoklas, khichdi, bhakris, kadhi and a lot more, Shree Thaker Bhojonalay should be your go-to place with your friends who have a huge appetite.
