Starting off with its flagship store in Mumbai, Epitome is well on its way to becoming a global culinary phenomenon. The much-anticipated expansions hasn't left Dubai diners disappointed, with dozens of delicious vegetarian and vegan dishes being served in this high-end eatery.
Unless you're a fan of Indian cuisine, vegetarian and vegan options in Dubai often fall short of expectations. But Epitome aims to change this, and prove that plant-based eating extends beyond salads and tofu.
The venue incoporates stylish art deco style details into its decor, and hand-painted walls and Romanesque statues also contribute to the elegant atmosphere. Instagram aficionados will be more than happy with the gorgeous red-accented monochrome shades and the unmatched views of the Dubai skyline. Be sure to reserve a place on the outdoor terrace for maximum squad pic potential.
What’s your poison; Indian, Japanese, Mexican, Thai, Chinese? Under this roof, you’ll find all of these cuisines and even more in their range of expansive menus. There's entirely separate sushi, dim sum and flat bread menus, as well as Indian rice and Indian bread. Kick things off with some appetizers; tofu churros with truffle oil are sure to get your mouth watering, as are Cantonese lotus crisps and Jodhupuri paneer tikka. When it comes to mains, you're truly spoilt for choice, with standout options including spinach and ricotta ravioli, mock mutton khicada, and and unbelievable eggless omelette.
Epitome's mission to make plant-based eating 'sexy' doesn't stop there. As the evening rolls on, the vibe shifts and the venue subtly transforms into a high-end bar and lounge, complete with live music and shisha. Hand-crafted beverages include the Basil 1998, an amaretto sour with basil, and the Chakkara, a twist on an old fashioned with added chocolate and pumpkin flavours.
