Gorge on delectable Vietnamese food at these Mumbai restaurants

From summer rolls to pho, celebrate your love for Vietnamese delicacies in Mumbai, as the Southeast Asian country celebrates its 77th Independence Day

Vietnam Day, the national day of Vietnam, is celebrated annually on September 2 to commemorate the declaration of independence by then-leader and future President Ho Chi Minh in 1945, a watershed for the Vietnamese Independence movement. The holiday is marked by locals waving flags and feasting on traditional delicacies. Vietnamese cuisine has been gaining popularity across the globe for its delicately balanced spiciness and tanginess. The aromatic cuisine is also favored by those following a vegan and gluten-free diet owing to its use of rice and its derivatives as central ingredients. For all those who want to try, we have rounded up some of the best eateries serving Vietnamese delicacies across Mumbai.

Fresh and summery

Sante Spa Cuisine might be famed for reimagining indulgent classics like their Baked Raw Banana Samosa (Rs 280), but the restaurant's menu also features traditional healthy dishes. The Vietnamese Chilled Salad Rolls (Rs 550) with sprouts, green cucumber, carrots, and rice noodles wrapped in rice paper are every bit fresh. These raw vegan rolls are served with flavourful sweet chilli basil dressing and will quickly become your favorite salad alternative.
