Green But Not Boring: Get The Best Vegan Food At These Restaurants In Chennai

Of course, this place tops the list. With a warm and welcoming ambience, Santé Spa Cuisine can be trusted to serve you vegan food that looks and tastes really great. Their signature Beetroot and Spinach Hommus (resembles the ice cream from a softy cone) with khakhra and salads are killer! Santé's got vegan desserts too and can also whip-up lovely keto-friendly dishes. 

This place is warm and inviting and perfect if you're looking for a quick meal without much fuss. Vegan, keto-friendly, gluten-free - this cafe can cater to all your requirements. The vegan pizzas options are aplenty. You can also find stuff like guacamole burger, Korean BBQ burger, spaghetti, Thai curry, fried rice, mezze bowls, and more - all vegan. If you've been feeling disappointed about having limited vegan food options, now is the time to feel spoilt for the choice. 

Most of the Mediterranean food is inherently vegan, so if your palate is feeling more inclined towards indulging in falafels, hummus and more, Mezze is the place for you. Happily pick your favourite dishes and have them made vegan here. Their Smoked Tofu Salad,  Falafel Sandwich, and Dukkah Mushroom come highly recommended. Read more here. 

All organic and made from natural ingredients, Fresh Pressery is great for when you're looking to eat something healthy and clean. Sandwiches, salads, tartines, pasta - there's plenty on offer and can be customised to suit a vegan palate. Their Soba noodles salad and chia seed pudding come highly recommended. 

One of Chennai’s best vegetarian (and Jain) Chinese restaurants, Flower Drum is hands-down great for whenever you feel like having Asian food. Again, vegan by default, choose from Fried Mushrooms, Tomato & Garlic Soup, and Thai Veg Curry (without dairy) if you're not sure about what to order for a vegan diet here.
