Vegan

confidence 55% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

The AGFG listing includes 'Vegan Options' as a feature category, suggesting the kitchen can prepare some plant-based dishes. The Sri Lankan menu naturally includes options like vegetable curries and coconut-based dishes that could be suitable, but the kitchen does not appear to be dedicated vegan and cross-contamination with animal products is likely. Staff may be able to advise on vegan modifications if asked.

Vegetarian

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

The AGFG listing marks 'Vegetarian Options' as a feature, and the Sri Lankan menu should provide several meat-free choices like vegetable curries and rice dishes. The kitchen is shared, so cross-contamination with meat isn't a concern for ethical vegetarians, but dedicated vegetarian preparation is not mentioned. Best to confirm with staff.

Dairy-free

confidence 55% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

The AGFG listing includes 'Dairy Free Options' as a feature category. Sri Lankan cooking uses coconut milk extensively instead of dairy, which may make many dishes naturally dairy free, but the kitchen also serves dishes that likely contain dairy (e.g. creamy garlic prawns, chocolate brownie). No dedicated dairy-free equipment or protocols are mentioned. Discuss with staff.
