You’ve been vegetarian all your life. What do you like about it?
I like how clean it is and how good you feel when you’re eating plants. It’s so nice to see how restaurants have evolved since I was younger to include more vegetarian options.
I also love to play with colors. The colors of the produce really draws my eyes. You can really be creative with endless combinations of vegetables and fruits you can put together... and always be trying something new.
Do you have any favorite Indian restaurants in Pittsburgh?
I really like Taste of India; they have really good North Indian food. And Udipi Cafe in Monroeville has great vegetarian South Indian food.
Other favorite spots to grab a bite?
Bae Bae’s Kitchen, El Burro, and B52 Cafe.
What do you love about living in Pittsburgh?
I love how there is always something new going on in Pittsburgh. Even though the city is small, each neighborhood has its own charm and there are a ton of public parks to escape to nature.
What local business do you think deserves a shout out and why?
Adda Coffee & Tea House! Not only are their drinks super tasty, but they are always supporting the community by partnering with small businesses and nonprofits. Be sure to check out all of the unique global pantry items at Adda Bazar.
