About Me

Hello World! I am Pooja Varyani, the human behind Dubai-based Foodish Vibes, a blog dedicated to sharing my experiences around something I am passionate about: food.

An Indian by ethnicity and global citizen by choice, I have grown up in West Africa for 5 years and moved to Dubai thereafter. I spent five years in Atlanta where I studied at the Georgia Institute of Technology and worked for a year. In a nutshell, my twenty-three years of experiences have been dabbled across various countries and cultures which has led me to appreciate the one thing that transcends differences and brings people closer: food.

I believe that every person has a voice. Foodish Vibes is in a way, my voice to express something that I am passionate about; a voice through which I can share my memorable experiences, honest restaurant reviews, and recipes that have given me the aha! moment that Chefs occasionally encounter.

Fun Fact: I was an omnivore aka non-vegetarian for 20 years of my life after which I decided to take up vegetarianism. I could elaborate in vivid detail but in short, my eyes have opened up to animal cruelty and I choose to follow a diet that allows me to do my part in protecting other beings.
