Whenever I hear someone say, I am vegan, it makes me cringe.
I am not particularly a fan of vegan diet, mainly because it offers very
limited choice of dishes. The fact is you can’t order anything besides a blend
of different salads, fruit dishes and that’s it, the menu instantly runs out. But
when I came across a fabulous vegan restaurant in Indianapolis
that offered traditional vegan Egyptian dishes with a modern twist it almost
changed my perception of vegan food. Although Parthenon also serves dishes made
with meat and dairy products, it also offers a wide range of vegan delights.
I went to this cozy little place 86th
St with a friend and I was immediately taken up by its vibrant vegan menu.
Contrary to the popular belief not just Egyptian but entire Middle Eastern
cuisine can be regarded as a paradise for vegans all over the world. The
cuisine makes use of fresh green and leafy vegetables, choicest grains and
lentils. It also bakes one of the most delicious and nutritious flatbreads in
the world. This makes dining at any of the Middle Eastern restaurants in Indianapolis
a unique experience.
Some of the most celebrated dishes are the numerous dips
which you can finish of with toasted or dip fried slices of pita, Egyptian
flatbread. I bet you are already familiar with dips like humus, tahini and baba
ghanauj. In many vegan restaurant in Indianapolis you
can begin your lunch with a welcome drink like lemon tea or freshly squeezed
sugarcane juice with pinch of lemon and then move on to appetizers like
falafel, dip fried pita bread served with humus, tahini and baba ghanauj. The
main courses can include dishes like creamy lentil soup, vegan Dolmathes and a
bunch of salads like cucumber salad. There is a bunch of desserts but none of
them are free of dairy products. Rice pudding is something to look forward to,
I tried it and I loved it.
As the craze for vegan food is on the rise in millennial
generation (primarily due to its health benefits) many restaurants also have
started offeringvegan catering Indianapolis for special
occasions like wedding, engagement, corporate luncheons etc. I noticed one more
thing that there are many people that ordered vegan food delivery Indianapolis using their phone or over internet. The takeaway
counter also seemed pretty busy. The bottom-line is whether you are a die-hard
vegan or a food enthusiast exploring vegan cuisine, you have got to try one of
the Egyptian or Middle Eastern restaurants in Indianapolis.
