Ahmedabad, May 2025: The city of Ahmedabad is all set to welcome Union, a first-of-its-kind plant-based restaurant that elevates global dining with its innovative and thoughtful approach. Founded by renowned Chef Viraf Patel and restaurateur Prakriti Lama from Bombay, in partnership with local entrepreneurs Ishit Patel and Harshavardhan Sheth, Union combines bold flavors, artistic presentation, and clean eating to create a truly unique culinary experience. The completely plant-based, artfully presented and bold flavoured dishes will serve indulgence with the intention of clean, conscious eating.
Chef Viraf Patel from Bombay comes with a rich expertise in contemporary European cuisine. From a career that began in Switzerland to opening and developing several restaurants on return to India, his experience precedes his unique menu curation. At Union, the concept marries the finesse of European cuisine with bold and refreshing Asian influences. Every dish is planned to include fresh, seasonal ingredients, play on their vibrant flavours and present them artistically for a sensory experience at every bite.
You can start the meal with thick soups like Corn and Kaffir Lime, Wild Mushroom or classic Tomato & Fennel topped with parmesan croutons. For small plates, opt for creamy Chickpea Hummus, Oven Roasted Carrots, Greek Tzatziki, Spice Dusted Corn Ribs or tender Jalapeno, Cheddar and Lemongrass Cutlets. For something light yet flavourful, the Burrata & Tomato Tartar, Charred Artichoke & Asparagus, and the peanut dressed Sweet Potato Noodle Salad offer well-balanced bites. Signature Sourdough Flatbreads impress with their super fluffy textures. The toppings include herby Green Goodness, spicy Green Chili Zough & Cheese, or the comforting House Marguerita and many more options. For a large plate, you can opt for Vietnamese Aglio E Olio with leeks, green chilli and hints of sesame oil, Potato Gnocchi with flavourful chilli butter sauce, Union Lasagne made with spicy lentil bolognese, Cambodian Curry with peppered rice or Homemade Cottage Cheese Steak. End your meal on a sweet note with the Chocolate Tofu Mousse, delicately set Panna Cotta, or the indulgently spiced Biscoff Cheesecake. The menu also thoughtfully includes options suited for Jain and Swaminarayan dietary preferences.
For devoted vegetarians, the entire menu promises a far refined dining that aligns taste with elegance. Curated by Chef Viraf Patel, the menu is a bold expression of his European sensibilities, brought to life through seasonal ingredients, regional inspiration, and creative techniques exclusive to this restaurant.
The interiors also mirror their food philosophy, keeping it pure, natural and elegantly understated. The space is designed with Scandinavian principles featuring clean lines and minimalist aesthetics. A soothing backdrop that comforts like the food that will grace your tables.
With such a globally inspired menu and modern interpretation of familiar favourites, Union brings together pleasure and purpose in every plate. Enjoy fine food in a relaxed setting and make memories as you indulge in a one-of-a-kind menu in the city.
