Ichikidana Indian cuisine

The venue explicitly describes itself as a vegetarian restaurant on its own website, so vegetarian fit is built into the kitchen's identity. No cross-contamination concern noted for vegetarian vs meat, but dairy is extensively used. This classification only covers the vegetarian (no meat/fish) aspect.

The venue's own website claims it is kosher, and a kosher blog covered its opening as a new kosher dairy restaurant. However, one HappyCow reviewer called the kosher certificate 'weird', suggesting some ambiguity about the supervision. If kosher compliance matters, call ahead to confirm the current certification.

Half the menu is described as vegan, and staff have accommodated vegan requests in the past, but the menu itself does not mark vegan dishes. One report of helpful staff mixing dishes, another of being told a dish was dairy-free and being served a chapati swimming in butter. Ask in detail what makes a dish vegan when ordering.

HappyCow tags the venue as 'Gluten-free' in its category list, though no menu markings, dedicated kitchen, or staff training on gluten are mentioned. No dedicated fryer or separate prep area is noted. A diner with coeliac should call ahead and ask about cross-contamination before relying on gluten-free options.

Multiple reports indicate dairy is widespread in the kitchen (butter on the chapati, no allergen indication on the menu) and staff have given incorrect dairy-free assurances. Diners with dairy intolerance or allergy are at risk of receiving dishes with hidden dairy.
