I have always been a vegetarian
all my life, but in the last few years, my diet has been shifting more towards
a vegan diet. I have found that veganism is more readily accepted worldwide and
catered for in most places. Most restaurants have at least 1-2 vegan dishes if
not more on the menu and some restaurants have separate vegan menus that they
serve.
November is world vegan month and
I have joined forces with tastecard to enjoy a vegan meal at a local
restaurant. tastecard partners with many restaurants to offer discounts on
meals as well as days out and coffee clubs, along with many more benefits. tastecard
membership can start from as little as £5.99 a month or annual membership
from £39.99 offering excellent value for money.
There are many restaurants in Watford to choose from. We decided to
visit Namaste Watford an Indian restaurant that came highly recommended by a friend who
had been there. Namaste Watford serves a good variety of Indian Cuisine. Looking
through the menu, there were ample dishes to choose from. We were extremely
impressed with the staff’s knowledge of the ingredients used in the dishes and
their suitability for vegans and anyone with allergies.
The restaurant is spacious,
bright and well-decorated. There is plenty of seating to accommodate large
groups and families alike. There is also a well-stocked bar with plenty of soft
and alcoholic drink choices.
While waiting for our appetisers
to be prepared, we enjoyed some soft drinks, poppadum, and delicious chutneys.
Our appetisers included Chilli
Garlic Mogo (cassava in spices) and Crispy Bhajiyas (deep-fried potatoes dipped
in chickpea coating and spices).
Both dishes were delicious, and
we really enjoyed them. The portion sizes were generous and since we did not
finish the entire starters. The waiter kindly offered to pack them to take home
as a kind gesture.
For the main course, we opted for
some Tarka dhal, Methi Corn (a curry made with sweetcorn and fenugreek) and
steamed rice.
The food was piping hot, freshly prepared, and had just the
right balance of spices making it tasty and appetising. Once again, the
portions were generous and there was plenty of food left over that we took home
with us.
There were no vegan desserts on
the menu, but tea and coffee were available. Following an excellent meal, we
were too full to sample dessert, so we were not concerned.
Namaste Watford was a suitable
choice of restaurant to visit during World Vegan Month especially as they accept
the tastecard, making the dining experience more affordable.
