In addition to being the largest democracy in the world, India also has the largest vegetarian population! In fact, vegetarianism has been an important part of our culture and history, and it can be seen in the food we eat every day. In today’s world, the wave of modernization has spread the vegetarian craze to the whole West, revitalizing the food scene and making people aware of how delicious vegetarian food can be! A restaurant in Delhi has decided to take the rich cultural significance of being vegetarian and include it in its menu of mouthwatering delicacies. OMO, the newest restaurant in town, is making vegetarianism the latest culinary trend.
The restaurant’s name, OMO, is derived from the three pillars of their restaurant – “Farm-Originated Ingredients, Mother’s Nurture in Pieces, and Botanical Holism.” We had the pleasure of tasting this farm-to-table restaurant menu and our delicious dishes were enlightened with exciting flavors!
We started with the appetizers and tried the eggplant and seasonal wilted green dumplings, naga chili cauliflower, Peruvian asparagus with white balsamic beurre blanc, king mushrooms and beet carpaccio. The idea of eggplant in a dumpling may seem a bit out of the ordinary, but the way these dumplings are made will make you fall in love with these dumplings. If you are a fan of chicken with lemongrass and chili, then cauliflower with lemongrass and chili naga will be a great dish for you. Peruvian asparagus has a hint of cream, which makes it absolutely delicious. The shiitake mushroom comes with a mango sauce, giving it a sweet and pungent flavor. And, beetroot carpaccio will remind us of the popular Italian delicacy!
For main course we had eggplant moju and creamy cashew curry. The eggplant moju curry has a sour and spicy taste that stimulates the taste buds while the cashew cream curry is smooth, silky and, as the name suggests, creamy! We ended our meal with the traditional Turkish delicacy of rose and pistachio baklava!
Overall, a hearty meal is not only a delightful burst of flavor, but also nutritious and healthy! If you are looking to try vegetarian dishes with a twist, then OMO is the place for you.
