i have one question
how many people come to this restaurant?
Dear Curious
This is a smart question. We also don’t know. But we are sure there would be many many people.
They have been running this restaurant for 121 years. Getting vegetarian food in Switzerland is very rare so the restaurant would be popular and could be getting many Swiss visitors. Munich is also popular with tourists so they could be getting tourists also.
Since their focus is Indian food, we are hoping a lot of people would be enjoying Indian dishes in that restaurant.

Why is it so rare to find a vegetarian restaurant in Zurich, Switzerland and so common to find one in India?
Hello Curious
It’s rare to find vegetarian restaurants in Switzerland as they have higher non-vegetarian population. In fact, conventionally they did not have a concept of separate vegetarian food for a long time. These countries have cold weather and they survive on meat more than any other food.
It is common to find in India because we have had years of practicing vegetarianism. We have tropical weather, where we grow lots of vegetables.
