  Shakahari Vegetarian Restaurant Carlton Carlton

  The name Shakahari, incidentally, is the Hindi word for "vegetarian". For more than forty years Shakahari has been one of this city's most innovative restaurants.
  
  Eschewing compromise, Shakahari has maintained a firm commitment to the two fundamentals of its cuisine: It is completely vegetarian and it uses only fresh, natural ingredients. Menus are changed quarterly to take full advantage of seasonally available fruits and vegetables and there are no artificial ingredients or colourants used.
  
  Shakahari has pioneered other fields in its fascinating development. Beginning in the early '70s by introducing ideas from Japanese, Chinese and Thai culinary traditions. In style, Shakahari's cuisine has always been East-West even before this term became the familiar way to describe cooking which uses Asian ingredients and skills in a European context.
  
  Today this restaurant's wide appeal rests on its expertise in creating meals which are light but satisfying, natural but attentively detailed in their preparation and presentation.
  
  In keeping with its original Indian inspiration, the interior design of Shakahari's Carlton location uses basic village tones and simple furnishings. It's only indulgence are two magnificent cloth paintings of the 19th century Nathvara (Rajasthan school) and a series of the earliest devotional posters from the Ravi Varma Steam Press, Poona.

  Kri Kri Greek Restaurant Melbourne

  Yassas! Welcome to Kri Kri and the unique experience of Greek mezethes-style dining. Sharing mezethes or ‘small plates’ is an old and established custom in Greece. There is no entrée or main course as such, instead, one chooses from the wide variety of dishes on offer. Each dish has its own individual character. You can order old favourites, invent your own combination of flavours and textures, or ask your waiter to help devise a menu according to your taste and mood. The dishes will come out as they are cooked, with enough time for you to savour each and every one, and anticipate the next. So sit back, let the rembetika music stir your soul and get ready for a taste of Greece. Kali Orexi!
