Group trip to Brum for Indian meal out!
On Saturday evening, ten members of RVV enjoyed a vegan meal at Jyoti's Vegetarian Restaurant in Hall Green, Birmingham. We each tucked in to three delicious courses with generous portions, and a drink, for under £10. Jyoti's are almost unique in that they label the menu options which are NOT suitable for vegans (a small minority), giving ethical diners a vast choice! www.jyotis.co.uk
