Why it matters
Why Balaji Pure Vegetarian is worth your time
Soi 11 is better known for bars and hotels than for vegetarian food, so a restaurant that calls itself pure vegetarian right on the street is a practical find for families who do not want to hunt for a meal that matches their rules. It saves the usual conversation about fish sauce and shared woks that Thai restaurants require.
It is also a useful fall-back for older travellers staying in the Nana and Sukhumvit area, since the food is familiar and the location is on a street many hotel drivers know. Treat it as a plain, everyday option rather than a destination meal.

How to experience it
Balaji Pure Vegetarian is listed at Soi Sukhumvit 11 inside the Sun City Hotel, and the Spinach Guide directory shows it open daily from 11:00 to 22:00. The name itself says pure vegetarian, and the directory tags it as a vegetarian Indian restaurant, though the page gives no longer statement about how the kitchen is run.
The menu named on the listing mixes South Indian and North Indian snacks: dosa and idli on one side, dal fry, mix veg pakora and channa bhatura on the other, plus paneer and curd dishes. A simple meal here is a dosa or channa bhatura with a bowl of dal fry, which suits a first lunch after a morning of temples without needing a long sit-down.
The directory says vegan preparation is not confirmed, and it does not mention Jain food at all. If you avoid dairy, onion or garlic, speak to the staff before ordering rather than assuming, and ask whether the pakora and dal use ghee or butter.
Plan with confidence
Small checks that make a better meal.
- Check hours on the day before you walk over

- Take a taxi back after dark
