SHARE Those signing up for Veganuary this month will join a growing population of 78 million, at a point at which it seems increasingly easier to adopt a vegan lifestyle. “Five years ago, the main obstacle was eating out at restaurants in Dubai, but now it’s so easy,” says photographer Chandan Sojitra, founder of the Vegans in Dubai group and a dedicated follower of veganism since 2015. The number of vegan options popping up across menus and meal plans in the UAE would indicate Sojitra is right. Impossible Burger launched to much fanfare this time a year ago and many restaurants across most cuisines have created elaborate dishes, from hole-in-the-mall burger joints to high-end restaurants, notably Ronda Locatelli, which claims to have Dubai’s largest vegan menu.
