Veg Out At These 5 Navratri-Friendly Restaurants In Gurgaon
Ten-Second Takeaway
SodaBottleOpenerWala
The Mutton Berry Pulao at your favourite Irani café might be off-limits but their nine-day special vegetarian menu includes Sabudana Papad, Kerana Cutlets, Gwarfali, Khattu Meethu Kaddu, Aloo Sabzi, Kuttu Atta Puri and Vrat ke Chawal. For dessert, you need to get some of their Sabudana ki Kheer or the Vrat ka Falooda.
Latitude - Vivanta By Taj
For a swanky meal, head to Latitude at Vivanta by Taj. Their Navratri special menu serves up Faldari Kofte, Bhune Ananas ki Chaat, Aloo ki Dubki and a special thali spread too. So whether you’re fasting or abstaining from meat, you’re still going to have a lavish feast.
Naivedyam
There’s nothing better than a wholesome, fresh, South Indian meal when meat is out of the question. Choose from a variety of dosas, Oothappams and rice dishes but the real feast is their thali which includes rice, pooris, Malabar paratha, sambar, rasam, avial, payasam, thoran, kurma, papad and pickle. If you’re not eating grains for these nine days, then a bowl of kurma or avial is ideal.
Panchavati Gaurav
If you’re around Cyber City, try the veggie thali at Panchavati Gaurav. The special weekend thali has four kinds of seasonal vegetables dishes, two kinds of rotis, steamed rice and khichri, two kinds of kadhi, dal baati churma and two desserts.
Delhicacy
Here’s to Old Delhi-style veggie street food! Hit up Delhicacy for assorted pakoras {ask them to hold the salt to make them Navratri food}, Spicy Paneer Bun, Guptaji Bun Tikki with desi fries, Vada Pav and Thepla with Aloo Bhaji for some Mumbai-inspired flavours. This vegetarian joint also has a selection of parathas from the famed Paranthe Wali Gali.
