VEGA FOOD Ristorante Indiano Vegano Ayurvedico

No meat or fish appears anywhere on the menu or in any source. The venue trades as 'Ristorante Indiano Vegano e Vegetariano,' every menu section covers only plant-based dishes, and multiple independent reviewers confirm complete absence of animal flesh. This satisfies the 100% dedicated kitchen path to Tier A for vegetarian.

The menu has a dedicated 'PIATTI VEGANI' section covering the majority of dishes, using soy-based dairy alternatives (tofu, yogurt di soia) throughout. However, a 'PIATTI VEGETARIANI' section offers paneer (fresh dairy cheese) dishes, cow's milk is used in tea by default and plant milk requires an explicit request, and the kitchen is shared between vegan and lacto-vegetarian preparations. Vegan choices are clearly labelled by section but structural dairy cross-contamination is possible.

The 'PIATTI VEGANI' section uses only soy yogurt (yogurt di soia) and vegan cheese (tofu/formaggio vegano), so those dishes are dairy-free. The 'PIATTI VEGETARIANI' section, Palak Paneer, Matar Paneer, Paneer Jalfrezi, Shahi Paneer, is built around fresh dairy cheese. Tea (Sweet Chai con LATTE) comes with cow's milk by default; a reviewer notes soy milk is available but must be requested. The vegan section acts as a dairy-free menu division, though the kitchen handles dairy for vegetarian dishes.

Cashews, almonds, pine nuts, and pistachios appear as listed ingredients in Riso Basmati, Malai Kofta, Seb Kachamber, Gajar Kaju Kachumber, Shahi Tofu, Shahi Paneer, and Dolce di Frutta Secca. The presence of nuts is pervasive throughout the kitchen. No nut-free protocols, dedicated prep areas, or allergen markings are evidenced. Staff would need to navigate dish-by-dish on request.

A dish at the venue is explicitly named 'Pasta Vegetariana senza Glutine'. Several items are inherently gluten-free, including dosa of rice and legumes, pakora and kafta in chickpea-flour batter, and papadam of rice and legume flour. However, wheat flour, specifically farina integrale, farina 0, and farina integrale di frumento, is used in dishes such as samosa, involtini, chapati, and paratha, all prepared in the same kitchen. The venue does not appear in the Coeliac UK venue guide, the How To Coeliac Rome guide, or the FindMeGlutenFree dedicated listings. No dedicated gluten-free prep area or accreditation is evidenced.
