Maharishi Ayurveda Hospital in Shalimar Bagh, Delhi treats its patients with the utmost care by providing them with panchakarma therapy, a meditation room, yoga training, deluxe room facilities and in-house doctors. The hospital is making the headlines due to its in-house restaurant, Soma-The Ayurvedic Kitchen. Here, the food is given according to the health of the visitor.

From Dumplings to Pav Bhaji, several dishes are served here without onion and garlic. Hospital patients often visit this cafe during their tenure apart from the outside visitors. Several food enthusiasts have reached this restaurant to try their food and none have left without praising their experience of eating healthy food at this eatery. Soma: The Ayurvedic Kitchen is also being hailed as the first Ayurvedic Kitchen in India.

While talking to Local18, Himanshu, who is a doctor at Maharishi Ayurveda Hospital, claimed that almost all the dishes they offer are homemade and fresh. He added that they founded Soma restaurant to promote the fusion of Ayurveda and food. Even though it is an Ayurvedic Kitchen, netizens often wonder about the reason for fast food like Vada Pao and Dumplings on the menu of this restaurant.

Responding to this, Himanshu, said that their Vada Pao is different from the ordinary stall-made or restaurant. He claimed that their Pao is made of Ragi which is known for having a cooling effect in Ayurveda. Whereas for Vada, the chefs of Soma Kitchen have coated these potato balls with the nutritious Moong Daal. “Vada Pao at our restaurant is recommended for the people who are suffering from Kapha Dosha,” added Himanshu.

According to Ayurveda, Kapha Dosha is for those personality who tend to remain lazy and relaxed throughout the day. Here, dumplings are offered with a blend of wheat, beetroot and a medley of ricotta, cottage cheese and spinach. In Ayurveda, Beetroot is known for its detoxifying ability whereas spinach carries an iron-rich profile and digestive support. Several people have visited this restaurant and have shared their experiences.
