Insider-led, Owner, chef, staff, or a close friend or family member needs to avoid this allergen themselves; kitchen practice reflects that.

The Houston location serves 'all #Vegan menu items' on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. The Bangkok location is a 'pure vegetarian and vegan restaurant' and produces 'Our Own Vegan Food & Cheese'. The Brooklyn location is '100% Pure Vegetarian' with no eggs. The Mauritius product is explicitly 'Govinda's Vegan Meat'. However, the Houston location uses dairy (e.g., 'Blueberry Cake', 'Coconut Halava' on a vegan day menu suggests potential dairy use, and the Brooklyn location is vegetarian not vegan). The New Delhi and Sydney locations do not explicitly state vegan. The venue is structurally vegetarian, with vegan options available, but not a fully dedicated vegan kitchen.

The Brooklyn location explicitly states 'No meat, fish, eggs, or onion/garlic'. The Houston location states 'No Garlic, Onions and Mushrooms' but does not explicitly mention eggs. The Bangkok location is a 'pure vegetarian and vegan restaurant' which would exclude eggs. The New Delhi menu does not list egg dishes. The Sydney location is a vegetarian restaurant. The ISKCON tradition followed by these venues typically excludes eggs. The evidence suggests eggs are not used, but only the Brooklyn location explicitly confirms this.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

The Bangkok location is described as a 'Gluten-Free Pizzeria' and offers 'select gluten free menu options on weekdays' and 'gluten free rice dishes'. The Houston location's Instagram menu marks several dishes as 'GF' (Saag Aloo, Vegetable Curry, Rajma Masala, Basmati Rice Pilaf, Miso Soup). However, there is no mention of a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, dedicated fryer, or staff training. Cross-contamination risk is not addressed. The other locations do not mention gluten-free options. The evidence is limited to menu markings and a general claim, with no structural safety information.
