03. Buffet at Ayur-Shri
OK, this is one of my go-to spots. One of my favorite places on planet earth. Anyone who is a vegetarian or vegan knows Indian cuisine all too well – there is no culture on earth that focuses on this particular diet more. India is massive, indeed it’s a sub-continent and the second most populous nation on earth, that will soon become the most populous nation on earth. This translates into hundreds of millions of cooks creating recipes that revolve around an astounding variety of vegetables producing an equally mind-boggling array of dishes.
So, it should come as no surprise that Ayur-Shri does some amazing things with vegetables. While you can order off the menu, they have a daily buffet that will change your life. There are too many things to list, so I will take the easy way out and say that the buffet is the “dish.” If I have to pick one dish on the buffet that you have to try, it would be the Saag Paneer: “Spinach cooked with homemade cheese, fresh herbs and spices.” The pakoras, the samosas, the white soup, the chutnies, the mango lassi…oh, man.
