How many times have you wished for more vegetarian options at your regular dining haunt? As vegetarianism gains traction across the globe, A Pinch of Veg caters to that stratum of Ilford-ites who seek continual excitement on the menu, so rest assured that your palates won't slip into boredom considering the sheer variety on offer here.

To start a piri piri cassava or vegetable spring rolls may appeal, followed by dosa, a paper thin crepe like pancakes, made from rice flour, served with sambhar and coconut chutney, or idli, savoury cakes made from a batter of lentils and rice. Other main courses that stand out are penne arrabiata and deep forest, where rice is stir-fried with bamboo shoots, chestnuts and mango tout.

There is a separate section listing fresh juices, smoothie, beers and wine, but the afters are really worth investigating; take the kheer brûlée for example, with a caramelised sugar topping, it brings a French touch to an otherwise traditional Indian dessert.
