Ellora Vegetarian Guide
The brief
Ellora, Maharashtra is straightforward for vegetarian travellers, India operates one of the world's largest vegetarian food cultures, and Ellora reflects that. The local kitchen carries a deep vegetarian tradition, full thalis, regional sabzis, breads, and dal-based preparations are standard, not adapted. MyTripMyTravel curates Ellora dining for vegetarian and vegan travellers in advance with the kitchens directly.
India is the most vegetarian-friendly major travel market on earth, but the experience is still better when the operator has briefed the kitchen in advance. Buffets, religious-vegetarian needs (Jain, no onion/garlic), strict vegan requirements (no ghee, no paneer, no dairy at all), and allergy management all land more reliably when planned, not navigated on the road. We do that.
The vegetarian scene in Ellora
Maharashtrian thali: A regional vegetarian thali of bhakri, zunka, and seasonal vegetables at a simple restaurant near the caves. Naan Qalia in Aurangabad: The base city's signature slow-cooked mutton dish with soft naan, arranged for the evening after the caves. Deccan biryani table: Aromatic Aurangabadi biryani reflecting the region's Nizam-era kitchens, privately arranged back in the city. Vegetarian thalis, dal-based preparations, and tandoor-bread combinations are standard. Most hotel restaurants and good local kitchens default to a comfortably vegetarian menu.
Strict diets, Jain, vegan, allergy
Strict-diet travellers (Jain, no root vegetables; vegan, no dairy of any kind; severe allergies) are handled by briefing the kitchen in advance through our heritage-dining wing. Cross-contamination prevention, specific oils, ghee substitution, and ingredient transparency are arranged at booking, not requested at the table. Travellers with diagnosed allergies should declare them at planning.
How we plan the table
Every meal across the Ellora leg is plotted to the day, breakfast at the stay, lunch sequenced near the sightseeing arc, evening at a private or curated table. The kitchens know your dietary frame before you arrive. A Mountain Carved into a Temple. The the curated duration length allows the kitchens to design across visits rather than repeat menus.

It connects naturally to Curated heritage tours, Elite chauffeured fleet, Heritage dining wing, so this leg is one part of a coherent mission rather than a standalone booking.

Is Ellora worth visiting if I have already seen Ajanta?
Yes, they are very different. Ajanta is famed for painted murals, Ellora for monumental sculpture and the Kailasa temple. Serious travellers see both, on separate days, from an Aurangabad base.
How long does Ellora take?
A focused half-day covers the highlights, led by the Kailasa temple. With Grishneshwar and Daulatabad added on the return, it comfortably fills a full day.

Ellora is closed on Tuesdays. Our planners build itineraries around this so the excursion always lands on an open day.
