Ahimsa - The Vegan Cafe

It is one of those rare finds which I had not expected in Shirdi. I had a very different kind of expectation for the kind of eating places I would encounter. But one evening, on looking up alternate options (as we only having Indian food during the road trip so far), we came across this place. Vegetarian I would expect in Shirdi - but vegan I did not. On landing up there, the only person manning the place - Sachin Golwad - was fantastic. He described all the menu items with passion, talked proudly (and yet humbly) about the way he would make each one of the items (yes - everything is made in-house - including their vegan ice creams!!). And right at the outset, he had mentioned that the items ordered would take some time to get prepared - as they are all made fresh. And boy - was he right! What a pleasure it was to have a simple-sounding tomato soup - where the tomatoes were got whole, chopped and made into a soup AFTER the order is placed! The difference in the freshness was so palpable - it blew us away. All the items we ordered were great. Would love to go back to Shirdi to visit the samadhi of the great saint, and to have many meals at this tucked-away place.

This place is the best in the whole shirdi. The food is amazing, mouth watering dishes ranging from burgers to pizzas to pastas. Every dish on the menu is freshly prepared infront of you. The hygiene is top notch. You need to taste the food to believe how good it is. The vegan culture is emerging in India at a very good pace and they have made justice to this culture without compromising the taste of the food. Have their burgers, you will forget Mc Donald's, burger king, Carl's Jr. Have their Pizzas you'll forget Pizza hut, dominoes. The staff is courteous and the head chef who is by the way a South African is a beauty by heart. He is very friendly and his menu is fabulous. If you're in Shirdi you must visit this place. Moreover the cost of the food is not at all expensive. I would say it is rather cheap and as per Shirdi standards. Thanks Regards
