You can now enjoy a Gujarati thali with over 20 delightfully delicious items at Delmon International Hotel located in Manama.

It’sno secret that India has the highest vegetarian population in the world with over 275million Indians opting for meatfree dishes. With such a significant Indian population in Bahrain, it comes as no surprise that, here too, we have a noteworthy number of vegetarians and vegans.

On the occasion of India’s Independence Day, Delmon International Hotel which is located opposite Gold City in Manama, is very proud to launch their purely vegetarian Gujarati thali. Executive Chef Mahendra Shekawat, who hails from Rajasthan, will be working handin-hand with the renowned Gujarati Chef, Narendra Karena, who hails from the bustling city of Ahmedabad to serve mouth-watering Gujarati favourites.

An estimated two out of three Gujaratis are vegetarians so, naturally, they are quite adept at incorporating leafy greens, root vegetables, pulses, and even fruit into their daily meals. As part of the special thali at Delmon International Hotel, diners can enjoy over 20 scrumptious items prepared from scratch.

“We are proud to reintroduce the Gujarati thali with Chef Narendra who is quite popular among Bahrain’s Gujarati community,” says Chef Shekawat, who has a collective 18 years of experience in Bahrain’s culinary industry. “India is extremely famous for its cuisine and it brings us great joy to present a thali as special as this. In fact, we have made arrangements with our suppliers to receive only the very freshest of ingredients imported from India.

Even the ghee we will be using in our food will be from the world-renowned Indian brand Amul!” he says.

The hotel has every intention to stand out from other Indian restaurants through this unique offering. “We will be serving the purest of food – known in India as sattvic -free from preservatives, artificial colour and processed flavour enhancers. In fact, our food will not only be vegetarian, but Jain meaning that we won’t be using onions or garlic in our food,” says Chef Karena proudly.

Having presented the very best of Gujarati staples right here in Bahrain for over 10 years, Mr. Karena is happy to present this phenomenal thali and will be paying attention to the finer details. “Oondios, Moong Thal, Gujarati Thepla and Pathra can be enjoyed through this thali. I will also be serving a very special Sitaphal Basundhi, which is a famous cold pudding made with custard apples, Beetroot Halwa and Jalebi. And, of course, a very traditional buttermilk beverage, Chaas, will be served too. It’s here that people can enjoy the best of desi flavours,” he says.

The fact of the matter is, vegetarian food in some cases can lack creativity, but the same cannot be said about Indian vegetarian food. This thali is sure to be a hit in the books of not only the Indian diaspora residing in Bahrain but vegans and vegetarians across the island looking for a divinely flavourful dish!

The special Gujarati thali will be available at lunch from 12.30pm to 3.30pm on Friday and Saturday. Rajasthani specialities can be added to the thali for a nominal charge.
