Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

Vegan

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 venue is a pure vegetarian restaurant. A HappyCow review notes that many South Indian dishes contain butter or yogurt, but vegan choices like dosas, mini tiffin, and poori korma are available if you ask staff to omit dairy. The kitchen is not dedicated vegan, and there is no marked menu or staff training evidence. Best to confirm vegan options with staff when ordering.
Dairy-free

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.
A HappyCow review states that all South Indian dishes contain butter and other dishes contain yogurt, so dairy is pervasive. Vegan diners are advised to ask staff to omit dairy from specific dishes like dosas and poori korma. The kitchen is not dairy-free, and there is no marked menu or staff training for dairy allergies. Accommodation is possible but requires direct communication with staff.
