1) The above comment is rather condescending
2) 100 years is nothing in Indian history
3) Our ancestral home, which still stands, is over 150 years old and there are small eateries below which have been family run for ever and are vegetarian.
4) There are probably 1000s of 100 year old vegetarian restaurants in India. Granted they are not probably as fancy as the one in Switzerland, but they are vegetarian and restaurants and over 100 year old nonetheless.
5) If the post said in Europe, I'll believe. But given history of Asia, I have no doubt that it is not the oldest vegetarian restaurant.
- billfruit 7y agoProblem with most of Indian History is lack of written or otherwise corroborating evidence. Also the claim is not for the oldest, but oldest continusly running. Even then the ship of Theseus argument can be raised.

- yumraj 7y agoYes, in my argument I had meant continuos running. These are family run restaurants. Started by great (or great-great or great-...-great) grandfather of current owners, serving limited menu of family recipes. BTW: all that I said applies to large parts of Asia if the OP was not focused on just vegetarian restaurants, where India has an edge.
