Veggie Delight – Pure Vegetarian Restaurants in Dubai

The concept of “vegetarian” diet and restaurant differs from person to person. For instance, some people who claim to be vegetarian find it unacceptable to eat meat, but okay to eat fish, while there are others who eat no fish or meat at all but do not mind tasting a bit of everything, and lastly, there is a pure vegan, a strict vegetarian group of people who can go to any lengths in avoiding meat or dairy products, like cheese, butter, or even eggs.
