Higher Taste - Wellington

This centrally located eating place is below-ground (I didn't see any accessible entry). The decor is generally dreary and the furniture a bit random. We ate from an extensive menu but were not impressed with the range of vegetables in the chow mein which turned out to be mostly a lot of noodles and a bit of cabbage. The food in the buffet on an early Saturday evening had more variety but the puris were rather dry and the poppadums rubbery. Did we just pick a bad time to visit?

Higher Taste is probably one of my favourite restaurants. The BEST food with pretty good prices. Sometimes I can't fathom how delicious the food I eat there is. Whenever I am in the area I try to go eat there.

I frequently visit here for lunch and for a $10.50 small plate, I can get rice, dhal, delicious roast potatoes, 2 puris a couple of vegan curries, along with salads. Food is always tasty and very good value for money. It’s pure vegetarian with only a few dishes containing milk products. Primary options is the plated buffet I mentioned earlier, but there are other menu options available as well. Staff appear knowledgeable about what dishes to avoid.

I was in the city for work meetings and between appointments I only had time for a quick lunch. Higher Taste is located at a centrally located area of the city CBD in the Old Bank Arcade. Almost everything in the buffet was Vegan (1 cottage cheese based dish) for $6.50, I got a selection of dahl, spicy potato, some fritters and rice. All very fresh and tasty and served quickly by friendly staff. Perfect for a short time frame! It's a no-frills restaurant but it's clean and tidy and was busy and lively when I visited. Other lunch items in the heated cabinet looked good too! ....Pakoras, samosas, etc.....I need to return with more time next visit so I can try more options! Recommended.

Quick and easy lunch solution, has buffet and menu options for lunch. Good value.
