Jain / Swaminarayan / Vegan – must-try in NYC 🌱

If you want restaurants to keep doing Jain menus like this, share this video so more places get inspired 🙏🙏

This restaurant hosts a Jain celebration menu once a month, and we finally got to try it after missing the January reservation. My brother prepaid the dinner (~$85 per person including gratuity, drinks extra). A snowstorm delayed our plans, but we eventually made it!

What we drank
Papaya Cranberry – Town of Rascals
Mint Lemon Chamomile – Panacea
Grenadine Orange Pomegranate – Before the Dawn

What we ate (family-style)
• Gem Lettuce with vegan Jain Caesar
• Creamy Asparagus Soup with chili oil – incredible
• Gigli Pasta with charred bell pepper sauce
• Charred Cauliflower with plantain purée
• Pea Risotto with almond ricotta – our favorite

Dessert
Tofu Panna Cotta with berry compote & toasted coconut — one of the best we’ve had.

Our thoughts
Mocktails were tasty but small for $14. The food, however, was amazing. Creating dishes this flavorful without dairy, ginger, carrots, or beets is impressive. Portions were generous and everything was perfectly balanced. We’d definitely go again!

Not sponsored — we paid full price and this is our honest review.

📍 Restaurant: Avant Garden
