Per-allergen evidence
HappyCow labels the venue as 'Vegetarian' and 'Lacto'. Multiple HappyCow and Wanderlog reviews describe it as a 'fully vegetarian (lacto-vegan) restaurant associated with the famous Hare Krishnas', with the owner cited as cooking the food personally. This indicates an insider-led kitchen where the operators need to avoid meat themselves, providing a strong structural signal for vegetarian safety. Cow's cheese is available, confirming lacto-vegetarian status.
