Per-allergen evidence

Vegan

B
confidence 75%

The restaurant describes itself as a raw vegan kitchen. It serves plant-based South Indian dishes prepared without oil or heating. Several items on the official menu are explicitly labelled vegan. Reviewer comments mention a dual-kitchen setup, with one standard vegetarian kitchen alongside the no-oil-no-boil section. This arrangement introduces a cross-contact risk from the adjacent kitchen. Dedicated equipment is not confirmed. The HappyCow listing flags the restaurant as vegan, but the shared kitchen layout means the vegan tier is B (reliable with clear options) rather than higher.

Honest caveat: Reviewers report a dual-kitchen setup where the advertised 'no oil no boil' section may not always be available, and cross-contact from the standard vegetarian kitchen is possible.

Vegetarian

B
confidence 70%

The restaurant offers a plant-based menu that is inherently vegetarian. Menu descriptions reference coconut milk, cashews, and other vegetarian ingredients. No separate vegetarian kitchen is specified; reviewers note a standard vegetarian kitchen operates alongside the no-oil-no-boil section. As with the vegan classification, the dual-kitchen layout and the absence of dedicated equipment keep this at Tier B.

Honest caveat: The dual-kitchen setup (standard vegetarian plus no-oil-no-boil) may cause confusion on which kitchen prepares your dish; one reviewer reported the no-oil-no-boil section was unattended.

Nut-free

C
confidence 45%
Best effort ·what tier C means

The official menu lists tree nuts (cashews, almonds) and peanuts (groundnuts) as ingredients in several dishes. No allergen advisory, 'may contain' statement, or cross-contact disclaimer is present. The kitchen style is raw and without heat, meaning no cooking step exists that would denature proteins, though the risk of cross-contact from shared equipment with nut-containing items is unaddressed. Staff awareness is not documented. Tier C applies because staff will likely know which dishes contain nuts if asked, but no formal allergen management is in place.

Dairy-free

C
confidence 40%
Best effort ·what tier C means

The menu positions itself as plant-based and dairy-free, for instance, a 'Creamy Vegan Mayonnaise' made without dairy, and coconut milk used in place of dairy elsewhere. No separate dairy-free kitchen or dedicated equipment is mentioned. Reviewers note a standard vegetarian kitchen nearby, which conventionally uses dairy items such as paneer, ghee, and milk. Cross-contact from that kitchen is possible. Staff awareness of dairy avoidance is unrecorded. Tier C: best effort, call ahead.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

E
confidence 35%
Limited information ·what tier E means

The venue does not mention gluten or coeliac anywhere on its official menu or in the source texts, and its raw, no-oil menu includes items like vada and puttu which are traditionally made from rice or lentils, but without explicit gluten-free labelling. A dual-kitchen setup reported by reviewers means the standard vegetarian kitchen likely handles wheat, such as poori and chapati. No gluten-free accreditation or dedicated gluten-free protocols are documented, and the venue is assigned a Tier E classification: limited information, and a call ahead to discuss needs is advised.

Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
