Vegetarian food is a big rage in the city, for it’s a holy city for most of the people. Walk in to any of these to treat yourself to some scrumptious vegetarian fare:
Even with an ambience that may not be alluring at the first sight, Silver Leaf is a big hit with the vegetarians. Located inside Hotel Embassy, it’s hailed for the vegetarian delights it offers other than some real good Chinese, Italian and Continental. Service is kind of slow so you should place the order fast.
A meal at Silver Leaf costs upwards of INR 200.
