Kailash Parbat
TST has no shortage of vegetarian Indian spots, but Kailash Parbat, which opened last April, has cemented its reputation as a delicious and health-conscious option. With a special focus on Indian-style street snacks, or chaats, everything is freshly made in-house here, from the semolina cups for pani puris to the rich, creamy paneer that comes marinated in Indian spices. In addition to being fully vegetarian, with vegan options also available, Kailash Parbat also offers a Jain menu, omitting onions and garlic.
