Vegetarian Fare with Awesome Style

Veg-O-Rama is a fast, casual, vegetarian food restaurant with a 1960s rock n’ roll diner vibe. Each item on the menu is carefully crafted and packed with interesting fusion, flavors and fresh ingredients. There are three contact-less pickup options: order online, phone or QR code scanning and then pick up—and two contact-less delivery options (order and delivery through Grubhub and Doordash).

        Owner Prafulla Kharkar says: “Customers are noticing our safety standards during this pandemic. We are dedicated to serving our customers unique fusion food with care, love and the utmost respect. This means continuous improvement and determination to use the latest tools and resources to adapt during these uncertain times.”  

        The Ypsilanti restaurant will be hosting vegetarian-themed events in metro Detroit, like the Vegorama Colorfest, a take on Michigan’s annual music, food, and color-dust party, for locals between the ages of 5 and 65 years old. Their Yoga-O-Rama will unite a diverse group of yogis and wellness experts to teach healthy habits and global consciousness.

 

Two locations: 533 W., Cross St., Ypsilanti (734-335-3952); 44930 Ford Rd., Canton (734-544-9707). View the menu at Veg-O-Rama.com.
