The entire restaurant is vegetarian.
Per-allergen evidence
The entire restaurant is vegetarian. The 'About us' page and homepage explicitly state that they serve 'homemade vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes'. The Sri Chinmoy-inspired philosophy means the kitchen is entirely plant-forward with no meat or fish on the premises. The changing daily menu is inherently vegetarian, with soups, vegetable tarts, korma, ratatouille, and tofu dishes. The restaurant is an obvious default for vegetarian diners.
