The vegan route through POT menu

On a bright April afternoon the last thing on my mind is a cocktail, but when Ritv Kapoor offers me a refreshing Tokyo Gimlet I cannot resist. Made with sake, freshly made lemon cordial and a homemade lime granita, it sets the tone for my exploration of the only vegan restaurant and bar in Delhi, People of Tomorrow. The quaint mezzanine floor bar seats just about eight people and almost coerces you to chat with your bartender, which in my case is the charming young founder of POT, Ritv Kapoor. “I have deliberately kept the space compact; it encourages you to be more mindful and pay attention to your surroundings.” The bar, which uses only natural and fresh ingredients, including juices, syrups and garnishes has become a go-to place for many regulars including expats who love the cozy vibe and the zero waste cocktail menu. “It is a collaborative effort of five top chefs from the city and the plan is to keep changing it with season and evolving with time.” Among the chefs on board are Anahita Dhondy, who has brought her signature Parsi dishes, Surabhi Sehgal, who has created a small Mexican menu, Dhruv Nijhawan, known for his European fare, Sambhavi Joshi who brought in the Italian favourites, and Anukriti Anand who has done the desserts.
