As I stepped into the vibrant streets of Basant Lok Market in Vasant Vihar, Delhi, I could feel the anticipation bubbling inside me. Today marked my first visit to People of Tomorrow, fondly known as POT 2.0, the country's pioneering all-vegan restro-speakeasy. Having heard rave reviews about its innovative cuisine and sustainable ethos, I couldn't wait to embark on this gastronomic journey.

As I made my way to the dining area, I couldn't help but admire the attention to detail. Natural terracotta textures adorned the walls, seamlessly extending to the table lamps, while curved edges added a touch of sophistication. It was evident that POT 2.0 was not just a restaurant but a sanctuary for mindful dining.

Next up was the Tomatoes of Tomorrow, a zero-waste dish crafted with creamy stracciatella, confit tomatoes, and tomato jerky. Each bite was a revelation, showcasing the versatility of plant-based ingredients in creating indulgent dishes.

As the evening unfolded, I savored every morsel, from the Biang Biang noodles tossed in an intense blend of chili and garlic to the indulgent Melting Fungi Focaccia, adorned with wild mushroom duxelle and truffle oil.
No meal would be complete without dessert, and POT 2.0 certainly delivered with its Caramel Hot Chocolate Fudge, a decadent treat featuring a warm brownie served with Biscoff ice cream and coconut caramel.
