Exploring Jain Food Options
Mumbai has one of the largest Jain populations in India, and most of the community in the city is prosperous. Walkeshwar, Breach Candy, Ghatkopar and Vile Parle are some of the areas where there is a significant Jain population, so there are a lot of Jain temples and restaurants in these localities. If you are looking to sample some Jain food, check out these restaurants for Jain food in Mumbai.
1. SoBo Belly
This newly opened food truck at Breach Candy wants to challenge the stereotype that Jain food is bland and boring. Their all-Jain snacks menu has some innovative combinations.
Their Burger Puff especially caught our fancy with its description: it’s a burger without onions and the buns! It sounds ridiculous but is actually surprisingly tasty. The mustard sauce and flaky puff pastry work well together.

2. The Rolling Pin
Expect to be drawn by the aromas of freshly baked bread and the sight of neatly decorated cupcakes just as you enter The Rolling Pin cafe in Lower Parel. The Rolling Pin’s forte is desserts for sure, but their wraps, baos, sandwiches, and burgers are worth a try too.
They are delightful and quite affordable. Most of the dishes from their all-vegetarian menu are also available as Jain options upon request.
