2. Vyanj
Vyanj operates from The Primo on Rajpath-Ambli Road, sharing its space with two other concepts, Sora and Sahtain. Chef Saurabh Udinia leads the kitchen and reimagines Indian vegetarian cuisine through open-fire cooking, heritage grains, and techniques inspired by regions ranging from Kashmir to Kerala.
