Royal Vega showcases a classical grandeur of the vegetarian repertoire from the sub-continent and beyond. Based on the concept of eating fresh, seasonal produce, in complete harmony with nature, the restaurant brings together a delightful offering of delectable vegetarian food from the magnificent royal kitchens of India.

Royal Vega presents a delightful offering of delectable vegetarian food from the magnificent royal Kitchens of India. Guided by the precepts of Ayurveda, much of the cuisine on offer is attuned to the season, observing the ideal combination of tastes.

The strongest influence on Indian cuisine is of Ayurveda, an ancient body of knowledge on health. Its origins lie in the Arthaveda, the contents of which date around 100 B.C. AYURVEDA, from Ayus means life and Veda is Knowledge. This system has always considered man as a whole entity in the form of mind and body relationship.

Ayurveda means the science of life; it does not mean Hindu medicine. It is a science of living that encompasses all that relates to the life of an individual to that of the universe. In this regard Indian gastronomic science Ayurveda includes what is probably the oldest and most visionary science in the world. Such a fully developed science now requires the right translation with deep understanding and adaptation. Some of the greatest doctors and sages have contributed their finest insights and discoveries into its ancient and well profound food wisdom.

The concept of the Royal Vegetarian Menu is manifested on three imperative factors. The first being the philosophy of taste or rasa, second being the food crop, vegetables, fruits and grains available round the year and finally followed by the Perennial availability of the fruits and vegetables according to the six seasons on the stretch of every two months in the Indian Calendar.

The Indian sub-continent experiences six seasons and hence our food requirements are as per that particular season. With every two months (masa) commencing with magha, are the six seasons (ritu); sisira (cold and dewy), vasanta (spring), grisma (summer), varsa (monsoon) and hemanta (winter) successively.
