Where to eat in Athens (Vegan and vegetarian options)


For people who have visited Greece or Athens, the flavors of Greek cuisine will always linger in their taste buds. You can't deny the appeal of the lip-smacking Greek gastronomy. From savory and succulent Mausaka to Falafel, Souvlaki, and enticing Tzatziki, to luscious Loukoumades, Athens is a foodie's home, and I won't be wrong in saying Athens is the foodie capital too.  

My favorites are here: 









A for Athens. The name lives up to the name of this restaurant. Breathtaking panoramic views of the astonishing Acropolis, magical views of Monastiraki Square, and excellent food make this restaurant worth visiting. Had one of the best drinks for a sober like me. Upscale Greek cuisine with a modern touch and twist makes it one of my favorites. Breaded Eggplant rolls, Lamp Giro, Cod with vegetables, Lemon Sauce, and you shouldn't leave without trying the open apple pie and berry cake. Mileage of great ambiance, great food, and great service under one roof. 






Veganaki: I am not a vegan, but I have a thing for vegan food. This restaurant is a gem for vegans and vegetarians. Love how a creative spin is incorporated into vegan food. As a vegan or vegetarian, you may miss traditional Greek Souvlaki. Try it out here and explore all the other Greek dishes. Their pesto pizza is a must-try. If you have a sweet tooth but are mindful of what you eat, especially when it comes to dessert, try Tiramisu. 











Moma Athens Without breaking arms and legs, you can have great food in a great atmosphere, and Mama Athens is the perfect example. It is located between the Hadrian Library and the Temple of Hephaestus. We had a perfect breakfast. A significant portion is modern, clean, and vegetarian-friendly. 






Ciel Bar is arguably one of the best places to enjoy the view of Athens from the rooftop, and it is lively. The friendly staff and food are decent. Loved the mushroom risotto. An Ideal place for brunch or dinner. 




Da Vinci Italian Gelato offers a Variety of Ice Creams and gelatos, making it a perfect destination for dessert lovers. Choices from premium, classic, and seasonal to chocolate, Italian, green American, and zero sugar, and ample varieties are available. 






Acropolis Museum Cafe and Restaurant. Most importantly, it is convenient because it is inside the museum. After exploring a large museum, one loves to have something to eat and relax with a drink, and if it's with the close-up view of the Acropolis, it is the cherry on top. 





Attica Bakery ...Visiting Athens and not trying some sinfully succulent dessert is unacceptable. And Attika Bakery is a one-stop shop for all your sweet needs. Kataifi to Galaktoboureko to Baklava, you just name it, and it's also at a very reasonable price. Located just across from the Church of Panagia Kapnikarea.

My favorite pieces of Assamese Traditional jewelry

My grandmother's thuria, age-old and heirloom jewelry, of course, not part-able         A piece of jewelry echoes a region's rich heritage, aesthetics and sensibilities and Assamese jewelry does not differ from that. A piece of jewelry not just enhances the wearer's beauty but identity as well.       A land of flamboyant rivers engulfed in exotic flora and fauna, birds, musical instruments Assamese jewelry is highly inspired by that. Sharing a few assamese pieces of jewelry from my personal collection.       An Assamese bride's dress up is incomplete without Assamese jewelry. Traditionally Assamese jewelry is purely handmade. The main frame is made out with 24-carat gold and lac is used as a filling material. Stones are studded on the top.  The creatively and meticulously studded stone craftsmanship resembles with pomegranate seeds. The color and texture of the stone are opulent and lurid jus...

Jurun...an assamese beautiful pre-wedding ceremony

  Indian weddings encompass many beautiful ceremonies and traditions. In Assamese culture, Jurun is a pre-wedding ceremony. It usually occurs a day or two before the wedding day, sometimes even on the same day of the wedding. A tradition where the groom’s family, especially women, visit the bride's family to present the wedding trousseau (Mekhela chadar), jewelry, some makeup, and accessories. In my belief, a tradition that welcomes the bride to her new family with gifts, love, and blessings.  On the day of Jurun, Aam Dali godha (A stringed mango leaf) is a tradition and is tied over the door. It is believed that it will ward off all bad energy and bring good luck to the newlyweds. Usually, jurun happens in the morning or before noon. The goom does not accompany the group. Before going to the bride's home, the groom and his family get blessings from the people who gather for the jurun. Another tradition associated with Jurun is filling two small bell metal vases (called l...

Bartaco, West Hartford , Connecticut review

It was a usual February day, the chill felt like tucking in the furry comforter and stay cozy at home. But, the matter of the fact was that it was my birthday  and my family wanted me to take out for dinner. I was reluctant and wanted to stay at home. My little one was after me and I couldn't say no. I had no clue where we were heading for dinner and then here we were at the Bartaco. Vivacious Bartaco instantly took away my winter sluggishness. With a gracious greeting, modern contemporary laid back sitting and a bit of hustle and bustle made me alive in the winter freezing February. The high ceiling, ivory walls, earthy light shades stroked a tropical vibe and the food spoke a lot about Mexico and Latin America. As a sober, I chose housemade pomegranate lemonade and hubby got grapefruit ginger juice. I never had pomegranate lemonade before, I must say it was one of the coolest and refreshing lemonade I have ever had. The tint of lemonade not just took the look but ...
