Vegetarian and Vegan Indian Food in Copenhagen — The Zahida Guide
A taste of our summer 2026 menu, showing the chefs choice vegetarian menu
One of the most common questions we get at Zahida is whether we cater for vegetarians and vegans. The answer is yes — and not as an afterthought. We offer a fully dedicated vegetarian and vegan tasting menu that runs alongside our classic menu, built with the same care, spice and ambition.
Here's everything you need to know before you visit.
A Dedicated Vegetarian and Vegan Tasting Menu
At Zahida, the vegetarian and vegan menu is not a trimmed-down version of the classic. It's a complete 9-serving tasting experience at 450 DKK per person, designed so that every guest at the table — regardless of dietary preference — has a full, satisfying meal.
You can also add dessert for an additional 45 DKK per person.
What's on the Vegetarian and Vegan Menu as of June 2026
The vegetarian and vegan tasting menu features the following dishes:
Pani Puri — crispy shells filled with red daal and tamarind water
Mirch Paneer or Tofu — with chili glaze and szechuan sauce (paneer for vegetarians, tofu for vegans)
Kale Burrata Chaat — tempura kale, burrata, mango and mint chutney
Grilled King Mushrooms — served with coconut sauce
Masala Celeriac Steak — with vierge sauce
Charred Bhutta — corn ribs with tandoori spices
Sabzi Tarkari — okra, cauliflower and aubergine masala
Ginger & Garlic Naan — flatbread with garlic-ginger butter
Jeera & Haldi Rice — basmati rice with cumin and turmeric
The menu reflects our approach to modern Indo-Pakistani cuisine: bold spices, Nordic presentation, and produce-led cooking that doesn't rely on meat to deliver depth of flavour.
Can Vegetarians and Vegans Sit at the Same Table as Meat Eaters?
Yes. At Zahida, you can mix the classic, vegetarian and vegan tasting menus at the same table. So if you're dining with a group where some eat meat and some don't, everyone is fully catered for without compromise.
Is the Food Suitable for Vegans Specifically?
Several dishes on the vegetarian and vegan menu are fully plant-based. Where a dish contains dairy (such as the Mirch Paneer or the naan with garlic-ginger butter), a vegan alternative is available — for example, Mirch Tofu in place of paneer. If you have specific requirements, we recommend mentioning them when you make your reservation so our team can accommodate you properly.
