Red Lentil Vegetarian & Vegan Restaurant
About
The Red Lentil is a vegetarian and vegan restaurant in Watertown serving creative, globally inspired plant-based cooking. The menu runs from hearty soups and sandwiches to main courses and desserts, all built on bold spice blends and seasonal New England produce, and each dish is designed to be rich in protein, fiber and essential vitamins. Gluten-free, raw and macrobiotic selections make it a good fit for diners with special diets.
The restaurant’s founder took an unconventional path to the kitchen: a brief career in IT, culinary school in Kolkata, India, and years with renowned hotels and Carnival Cruise Lines that included travel to more than 40 countries. After working at an Indian restaurant in New York City and a vegetarian restaurant in Rhode Island, the founder, who grew up vegetarian, opened The Red Lentil in 2009 during an economic downturn.
