The entire menu is vegetarian, run by a Hare Krishna-affiliated team. All dishes are sattvic (plant-based and dairy-friendly). No meat, fish, or poultry is used anywhere in the kitchen. This is a dedicated vegetarian establishment.

Several menu items are marked GF on the Uber Eats menu, including Cheesy Potato Bake, Salad Bowl, Dahl Lentils, and desserts like Forest Berry Sago and Caramel Slice. The kitchen is shared and not dedicated gluten-free, so cross-contamination is a risk. A HappyCow reviewer noted that gluten-free options are labelled. Confirm with staff before ordering.
