Birmingham is massively multicultural with people from various countries following different religions living here.
People from different communities often have dietary restrictions that are not related to allergies. For instance, Muslims eat Halal food, Jewish people prefer Kosher food, some Hindus prefer lacto-vegetarian food and Jains prefer lacto-vegetarian foods that excludes root and underground vegetables.
Previously, we have looked at Halal restaurants in Birmingham, and now we have found the popular pure vegetarian restaurants appropriate for Hindu vegetarians in the city.
Around 25-35% of the Indian population follow a vegetarian diet that allows dairy but no meat or eggs. There are several restaurants in Birmingham that cater to these dietary restrictions.
