Top Veggie choice: Indian Veg Bhelpoori House, Islington
Tuesday 21st May 2013 | Cristina
Islington’s Indian Veg Bhelpoori House is known across the UK and in tourist guides as the go-to place for vegetarian fans of Asian cuisine. Inconspicuously tucked away in Chapel Market, its modest exterior belies the internationally renowned, unforgettable restaurant within.
Indian Veg Bhelpoori House, as a vegetarian restaurant, is one of the few restaurants in the UK with a set of ethics visitors can truly trust in. Even on the vegetarian and vegan scene within UK cuisine, the Indian Veg Bhelpoori House is known for its militant vegetarianism – its walls are plastered from floor to ceiling (and beyond) with vegetarian protest posters, wall hangs, charts and placards detailing the benefits of vegetarianism and the problems with meat-eating.
Certain critics have called this aspect of the experience ‘intrusive’ and ‘too much’. I would say to them that if being forced to confront the full truth of the restaurant’s food policy is uncomfortable , then they should go back to McDonald’s where they belong.
Indian Veg is wheelchair accessible and appropriate for all ages, with a low noise level and a casual vibe which is inviting at any time of the day or night. With an 'all-you-can-eat' buffet available for under £5, the Indian Veg crowd varies from students to families to the loyal regulars and locals.
Overall, Indian Veg Bhelpoori House is the most inclusive, top quality and heartfelt food I've had the fortune to experience in London, the UK or indeed anywhere in the world. In direct contrast to the high-end, exorbitantly priced restaurants which populate London and are frequented by the cast of Made in Chelsea, Indian Veg Bhelpoori House is a provider of excellent cuisine with a soul in the place of a price tag.
