Shanmugas

confidence 85% ·

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

Shanmugas is a dedicated vegetarian restaurant (lacto-vegetarian) serving South and North Indian cuisine since 1998. The kitchen uses ghee and dairy, so vegans need to ask for modifications. Staff are knowledgeable about ingredients and can guide you through the menu.

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The restaurant is vegetarian, not vegan, but multiple HappyCow reviewers report that staff are knowledgeable about veganism and can accommodate requests. Dishes like plain dosa can be made vegan, and curries can be prepared without dairy if you ask. Vegan options are not labelled on the menu, so you'll need to discuss with staff.

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

The kitchen uses ghee, paneer, curd, and buttermilk extensively. Staff can prepare some dishes without dairy if you ask, but there is no dedicated dairy-free preparation area. Vegan reviewers have successfully requested dairy-free versions of curries and dosas, but cross-contamination risk is present in a shared kitchen.
