I’m currently in Odisha for Jagannath Bhagwaan’s Rath Yatra, and while the experience has been beautiful, I’m struggling to find good vegetarian food options around. Most places seem to serve non-veg with veg. Can someone please recommend some good pure veg food joints or thali places nearby? Would really appreciate any suggestions! 🙏
Hi, if you are looking for pure vegetarian food in Puri during the Rath Yatra, you can try the traditional vegetarian thalis that are commonly served around the Grand Road and Balagandi areas. These thalis usually include rice, dal, mixed vegetables, paneer dishes, and simple rotis, all prepared in vegetarian kitchens without mixing with non-veg items. South Indian meals like dosas, idlis, and vadas are also widely available and are a safe choice if you prefer pure vegetarian options. Many small food joints around the temple area serve these meals fresh and quickly.
One of the best things to experience is the Mahaprasad at Ananda Bazaar inside the Jagannath Temple. It is a holy and fully vegetarian meal, cooked without onion or garlic, and served fresh several times a day. You can also explore street food stalls near the temple that serve popular vegetarian items like Dahibara Aludum, Aloo Chop, and Enduri Pitha. These areas around the temple are known for offering pure vegetarian food and are easily accessible by foot.
