About The Happy Plate
A vegetarian Italian kitchen for everyday meals and special evenings.
Italian food, without the second thought.
Italian is one of the most loved cuisines in India, yet vegetarian families often have to ask careful questions before they can enjoy it. Is the pasta made with egg? Is the cheese vegetarian? Is the stock meat-based?
The Happy Plate was started to take those questions away. Every dish is fully vegetarian and egg-free, cooked fresh, and priced so that a student, a colleague on a lunch break and a family of four all feel welcome.
We wanted a place you can walk into for a quick weekday lunch and just as easily stay on for a long Sunday dinner.
How we cook
Made with care, served with joy
Dough
Made fresh every day
Pizza dough is prepared each morning and stretched by hand, so the base stays light and crisp.
Sauces
Cooked from scratch
Tomato, white and pesto sauces are simmered in our own kitchen, using vegetable stock only.
Service
Cooked when you order
Pasta and pizzas go into the pan and oven after you order, so they reach your table hot.
Who we cook for
A table for everyone
