A new culinary gem has emerged in Bath with the opening of Sarthi, an Indian vegan and vegetarian restaurant located in a beautifully preserved Grade II listed former church on Walcot Street. This historic venue was once home to the popular Pomegranate restaurant and has now found new life under the stewardship of a London-based hospitality operator known for healthy, plant-based Indian fusion cuisine.
Since its launch in April, Sarthi has been praised for bringing a fresh and exciting option to Bath’s diverse food scene. The restaurant accommodates approximately 150 guests and includes a private dining and function room, perfect for intimate gatherings or special events.
A spokesperson for Sarthi shared their enthusiasm: “We’re thrilled to introduce our brand-new Indian vegan and vegetarian restaurant in the heart of Bath. This venture is especially meaningful as it is a passion project led by a young female entrepreneur, built with dedication and a clear vision rather than major investors.

“Our menu offers authentic Indian flavors through a fully plant-based and vegetarian lens, featuring dishes like dosas, curries, and rare regional specialties that you won’t find elsewhere in Bath. We aim to provide an inclusive, flavorful, and community-driven dining experience.”
The leasehold sale, managed off-market by Christie & Co, attracted considerable interest from buyers both locally and from London. Graeme Clifford, business agent specializing in pubs and restaurants at Christie & Co, noted: “This exceptional location sparked high demand, and we are delighted to see these passionate new operators bringing their vision to life.”
Sarthi stands out as a unique destination that blends tradition, sustainability, and innovation, making it an exciting addition to Bath’s vibrant culinary landscape.
