The seeds of Roots were planted in 2022, when a vision for a restaurant promotes a healthier and sustainable future by prioritizing plant-based diets. This initial idea, cultivated over time, blossomed into reality in 2024 with the establishment of Roots. Roots is more than just a restaurant—it’s a visionary endeavor at the intersection of culinary innovation and environmental stewardship. Our mission extends beyond serving exceptional meatless cuisine; we are committed to promoting a sustainable environment through our plant-based concept.
At the heart of our menu are our celebrated artisanal sourdough pizzas, with our Five Cheese Sourdough Pizza standing as a fan favorite. However, our creativity shines throughout our offerings, from the Laksa Angel Hair that reimagines Malaysian flavors with Italian pasta, to our Nasi Lemak Risotto that marries comfort foods from two distinct cultures. Signature dishes like our Blue Cheese Tart, Sambal Petai Sourdough Pizza, and Morel Tortellini Consommé showcase our commitment to elevating plant-based ingredients to gourmet status.
But at Roots, we believe that great food should not come at the expense of our planet. Our meatless cuisine concept is rooted in the understanding that plant-based diets have a significantly lower environmental impact. By choosing to focus on vegetarian fusion dishes, we’re taking a stand for sustainability:
Reduced Carbon Footprint: Our plant-based menu helps lower greenhouse gas emissions associated with meat production.
Water Conservation: We significantly reduce water usage by avoiding meat products, which require substantial water resources.
Land Preservation: Our focus on plant-based ingredients promotes more efficient land use and helps combat deforestation.
Biodiversity Protection: By reducing demand for animal agriculture, we contribute to preserving ecosystems and protecting wildlife habitats.
We source our ingredients locally whenever possible, supporting sustainable farming practices and reducing transportation-related emissions. Our sourdough fermentation process not only creates delicious crusts but also aligns with our zero-waste goals, as it extends the life of our bread products.
Through our innovative dishes, we aim to show that sustainable dining can be exciting, satisfying, and accessible to all—vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. We believe that by creating irresistible plant-based alternatives to beloved dishes, we can gradually shift perceptions and eating habits, contributing to a more sustainable future.
At Roots, every meal served is a step towards a greener planet. We invite our guests to join us in this delicious revolution, where caring for the environment goes hand in hand with culinary excellence. Together, we’re cultivating change, one meatless meal at a time.
Roots – it reflects a focus on shifting our perspective and adopting sustainable practices in relation to vegetarian and vegan lifestyles. It implies a commitment to environmental consciousness, ethical choices, and promoting a sustainable future by prioritizing plant-based diets and minimizing the consumption of animal products.
