According to sources, the party had ordered off the menu, even granddaughter Aradhya who is said to have had bite-sized portions, including from the celebratory cake at the end of the meal. Was it difficult to cater to vegetarians, we enquired, in reference to the iconic star famous for his vegetarianism.
"Not at all. In any case, 50 per cent of my menu is vegetarian," Oberoi said adding, "Most of the city's older foodies are vegetarian." And what was the piece de resistance of the evening? "The camembert soufflé," said Oberoi. "They used to always order it when they came to my Chef's Studio."
