Hi,
I moved in to ramamurthy nagar recently. Iam trying to find out whether any mess or home made vegetarian food or hotel is available in that area. Since roads are bad, searching has been difficult. If anybody could deliver at home, thats also welcome. Pls help.

hey I used to live in ramamurthy nagar… not too much choice there I’m afraid… but if you want home delivery…. Tamarind. There is also this small shack (looks dodgy) run by a UP gentleman inside ramamurthy nagar … (beyond fabmall..keep going straight and it’ll be on your right) which serves amazing chole bhature and puri aloo .. n home delivery though, you’ll have to pick it up.

If you’re looking to eat out… Indiranagar…

we’ve lived there for 2 years and a lot of the food places nearby aren’t great.

hope you like some of these!

Refer me a really good lawyer ,who can help me with my case against mishandling, misrepresenting of vegetarian food by 6 top restaurants here in Toronto in last 6 days one after another, within 1 week !!

Please suggest me good lawyer in Toronto or GTA who can help me on this.

How did they "misrepresent" the food? The vegetable soup was made with chicken broth? A "vegetarian" named dish contained fish? Personally, I’m smart enough to ask what is and isn’t in the food, beyond the menu description. If the server says s/he does not know and doesn’t bother to ask the kitchen staff, I not only do not get the item, but lower the tip. One time, my husband, his sister (who is vegetarian, but still eats a lot of what I would call junk), and his parents and I were at a steak restaurant. Now, I don’t mind steak restaurants. I can get a baked sweet potato (usually) and a couple of other safe sides beyond the iceberg lettuce plate. The smart waitress caught on to my SIL’s and my orders and asked if we were vegetarian. My SIL had to brag that she is vegetarian and I’m vegan. (I don’t offer that information unless asked. It’s part of whom I am, but still not a big deal to me.) She informed us that the potatoes are dipped in beef grease. Even my husband and his parents who regularly eat greasy, fried foods (and it shows) were disgusted. We have not returned to that restaurant. (This was after I asked if the green beans had ham in them and a few other little things.)

You MIGHT be able to sue, but I doubt it. It comes down to common sense. Ask what is and isn’t in the dish. If it looks "suspicious" then don’t order it and either leave the restaurant or just order coffee and water and a good beer. (Labast is good for a "light" beer, but I’m sure the really good stuff [not Bud or the equivalent) can also be found in Canada.) Also, don’t return and tell your veg friends about your experience so they can decide if they want to patronize the place. Even my omni husband won’t return to a place (with me at least) if it’s not "friendly". Overall, my family and I had a bad experience with that restaurant and we did not return.

Since I consider a job in Kiev, Ukraine, I would like to know if anyone know about the availability of Vegetarian food in Ukrainian restaurants and supermarkets, or maybe in health food stores. I heard it is more difficult to find vegetarian food in Eastern European countries then in e.g. the UK.

Taivo is 100% right on, but I will add the following.

Finding "vegetarian" food is not at all difficult in Ukraine as meat is very expensive. Many of their dishes are made with only vegetables, so you will not starve. But YOU will have to be responsible for finding out what is in the food you eat.

And yes, if you are served meat in a household, you should eat it or be considered rude. But if your hosts know that you do not eat meat, they will accomodate you – ** just make sure they know ahead of time.**

It will be a bigger issue if you do not eat dairy. Eggs, cottage cheese, milk, sour cream – all are common ingredients. If you eat fish, that eases things as well.

And to read the labels, you will need to read Ukrainian. Although Russian is understood in speech by everyone, most of the labels will all be in Ukrainian.

And no, nothing will be labeled vegan or vegetarian. You also will not find things like vegetarian meat patties there – although they are commonly made in the home. In fact, you will find much fewer "prepared" foods in the supers there, but the upside is that the produce is fresh, organic, and tasty.

Cost is an issue seeing that he is 120 lbs. Non-vegetarian food IS NOT an option. Any recommendations?
Okay I didn’t think I NEEDED to add this BUT dogs are NOT carnivores!!!!!!! They are omnivores. Reseach shows that dogs live longer, are heathier and have fewerallergies on a vegetarian diet.

It depends where you are. I assume you are in the US, so you might have to mail order it.

Try V-Dog – http://www.v-dogfood.com/
Also Vegan Cats sell dog food – http://www.vegancats.com/
Several brands including Ami from Italy – http://www.veganessentials.com/

In the UK people can try a range of brands from http://www.veggiepets.com/

I hope that is helpful

I have just become a vegetarian, but i can’t find any resturaunts with food for people like me. what do you suggest.

Most restaurants have some sort of vegetarian option, although you’ll probably get sick of eating salads, veggie burgers, and cheese-based dishes over and over again.

Souplantation, a.k.a. Sweet Tomatoes, is a buffet chain that specializes in salad and soup and the like… California Pizza Kitchen has some tasty vegetarian options. Also, Indian and Southeast Asian (Thai, Vietnamese) restaurants are likely to have lots of vegetarian options; Chinese and Japanese also to an extent.

As for shopping, try a store like Whole Foods Market, Wild Oats, or Trader Joe’s.

As we all know Muslims must only eat food that are Halal. But just curious whether can they take chinese vegetarian food?

Being a chinese, I don’t deny that plenty of chinese food contain pork. But if chinese vegetarian food contains that, then it’s not really vegetarian right? so would muslims consider it okay to eat that?

Some may and have no problems with it. But in Chinese cooking, many times the vegetables and meats are often stored side by side and cooked in the same Wok’s. Some strict observers of Halal may have a problem of knowing the same Wok was used to prepare a pork dish before his Vegetarian dish. If he were to see them actually clean and thoroughly scrub the wok before, which rarely happens in Chinese cooking, he might.

What culture has the best vegetarian food?

In my opinion, it’s a definite toss-up between Indian, Ethiopian and Middle Eastern. I absolutely love Indian because of the way they spice everything and there’s such a wide variety of flavors. I just got back from a trip to California and there I went to a place called Rahel. . .it’s an Ethiopian vegan place on Fairfax. . .and we didn’t get to eat at all the restaurants I listed because we kept going back there because it was so exquisitely delicious. There’s one in Grand Rapids, Michigan, as well and a couple in Chicago. Then my boyfriend is Middle Eastern, so he gets to show me what is authentic and everything and their food is amazing as well.

There’s also this restaurant in San Francisco called herbivore that has a wide and varying selection of vegan foods and it is amazing. Because of them, we couldn’t eat at all the restaurants we listed in that area, either.

Oh, and I almost forgot. . .if anyone is ever in Chicago, try Soul Vegetarian East on 75th Street. They are the "African Hebrew Israelites of Jerusalem" and they cook up some mad vegan "soul" food and literally everyone who has gone there has given it amazing reviews.
