Two decades ago, a restaurant called Veda opened in Arbuthnot Road in Hong Kong’s Central district.
Seating 160 diners, Veda – the name taken from the earliest known body of Sanskrit literature – was the first restaurant of its kind in Hong Kong, boasting a menu of contemporary Indian dishes at a time when other Indian restaurants served the usual curries.
That Veda, founded by Sarika Jhunjhnuwala, closed after six years in business, but was reincarnated in a smaller, more modern space at Ovolo Central, a hotel founded by Sarika’s husband, Girish Jhunjhnuwala, in 2019.
Since then, numerous chefs have left their imprint on Veda; plant-based cookbook writer Hetty Lui McKinnon helped design the relaunch menu, and Raul Tronco Calahorra led the kitchen for several years.
Now Sarika’s daughter Avni Jhunjhnuwala has put her own mark on the restaurant, which features dishes with classic Indian flavours and with emphasis on health and nutrition.
