What vegetarian means at ManaVindhu
We should say it plainly: we are an Indian restaurant with a big vegetarian menu, not a pure veg one. We cook veg and non-veg, and the veg dishes get the same care as the rest. Here is what that means for you.
- 142 of our 242 dishes
- are vegetarian: tiffins, starters, curries, biryanis, breads, soups, sweets and drinks.
- Marked on the menu
- Every vegetarian dish carries the green mark, and the menu has a Vegetarian filter.
- Dairy, not vegan
- Many dishes use paneer, ghee, curd or milk. Vegetarian here means no meat, no fish and no seafood.
- Spice your way
- Any dish can be made mild or extra spicy. One guest’s tip: ask for “very mild” if you want it gentle.
- No onion, no garlic?
- We cook without onion and garlic on request. Tell us when you order, or choose it for a pooja order.
Our guests on the veg dishes
We ordered several vegetarian dishes, and everything was really good. The Pachimirchi Gobi was especially awesome!
Sharanya U., Google review The vegetarian dishes have that unmistakable homestyle comfort: gentle spices, fresh ingredients, and flavors that remind you of family meals.
Veda V., Google review Really loved the Ghee Karam Idly with Nalla Karam Podi. The idlies were soft, the ghee tasted fresh, and the karam podi was full of flavor.
Harini, Google review Chef recommended Gongura baby corn was the best!! They have more vegetarian options.
