I feel uncharacteristically at peace with myself and with the universe after a meal at Om. Perhaps it is the inspirational quote on their wall:
Or perhaps it's their light yet nourishing vegetarian lunch for $6.50. Yes, $6.50! Where can you get a meal in the CBD for that? So maybe I'm lulled into a sense of serenity by the price point. Also I am being fed a vegetarian meal that actually tastes good. Perhaps the all-you-can-eat chappatis tipped me into a carb-cocoon afterglow? Whatever the reason, I leave Om feeling I can do and should do amazing things because you get out of life what you put in.
To elaborate on what you get for your $6.50: pilau of some sort, dhal, vegetarian curry, a little dollop of pickles and chappatis. Oh, the chappatis! They were crispy and airy with just a smidge of butter. A lady walked around with a basketful of them and tops up your plate when you run low. I could just feast on the chappatis alone.
A tip: Although the address for Om is on Collins St, the entrance is actually in an arcade off Swanston. Well worth keeping your eyes peeled for it.
Until next time..
