Since announcing on Facebook, October 10th 2019 that I will become a vegetarian. My so-called carnivore friends hasn't invited me for lunch nor dinner. Can't blame them. Maybe I shouldn't have changed my diet, I would've retained those friendly lunches and dinners.
Cooking and preparing (fancy) vegetarian foods has become a challenge. Most restaurants do cater to vegetarians if you only desire a salad.
Since discovering Yves meat alternatives, life is slowly becoming easier in the kitchen.
Today I took my vehicle in to Roadsport Honda on Ellesmere and Kennedy. I was really hungry, almost 2PM and I hadn't the chance to eat breakfast. So, I enquired at the reception for a recommendation on a restaurant that serves vegetarian food...to no avail. She even searched on Google.
I went for a stroll not even one minute when I saw over the road (Kennedy): Mumbai Express. A closer look, and what do you know, it is all vegetarian. Now I must say I wasn't prepared to do any sort of reviews nor did I have my (fancy :)) camera with me.
The restaurant wasn't crowded, I was the only customer there, I guess I missed the lunch crowd.
I ordered a Thali because I it was my first spontaneous visit and I wasn't familiar with what they offered on the menu or the taste thereof.
5 minutes later I was welcomed to a colourful array of selection on my thali. I ordered a mango lassi to cool my stomach just in case.
The restaurant was what I would consider a neighbourhood restaurant, not upscale, seating was available. I do presume most people ordered takeout. I saw "Skip the Dishes" logo on the door.
Seems like a family run restaurant. Sometimes these are the best kind of restaurants for great food.
I asked the server/cashier as to what type of bread/roti I was eating, I liked it. She remarked "Chole Kulcha".
I am glad that I was able to find a restaurant that caters to my diet. If I had wanted the meal completely vegan, I was told they would cater to my needs. So, check it out my vegan and vegetarian friends.
The food was great at the menu price point. I surely will venture in again. Here are some pics taken with my cell phone. read more
