About these places

My focus is satvik food: no onion, no garlic, no caffeine. Jain food goes further and also leaves out root vegetables like potato, carrot and ginger, so if you eat Jain, check with the kitchen.

I've eaten at every one of these 14 places, in Delhi. Unless marked Fully satvik, ask for no onion, no garlic when you order.

Tips for ordering

  • If they don't know "satvik", say "Jain, but potato and ginger are fine."
  • In Bombay, the usual way to ask is "half Jain": no onion, no garlic.
  • In North India, and especially around Delhi and Gurgaon, many places serve food without onion and garlic during Navratri, in the run-up to Ram Navami and Dussehra. I always look forward to it.

Kake Di Hatti
