Verifiably Safe, Either a 100% dedicated kitchen (no allergen on premises) or actively certified by a recognised accreditation body for this allergen.

Structurally a 100% meat-free kitchen — no meat is served on the premises. Multiple independent sources confirm this is a pure vegetarian restaurant: HappyCow categorises it as 'Vegetarian', one reviewer notes 'It's a pure vegetarian restaurant', and the official website describes it as 'one of the largest vegetarian restaurant chains in the world … offering south Indian Vegetarian cuisine.' No cross-contamination from meat is structurally possible.

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

No gluten-free menu confirmed by FindMeGlutenFree across three separate listings, which also explicitly cautions this is 'NOT a dedicated gluten-free facility and may not be safe for those with celiac disease.' One symptomatic coeliac diner (FMGF, 2023) reports staff 'knew what gluten free was and took extra precaution'; they note 'all curries and rice can be made gluten free just have to specify in the comments' and had no reaction across two visits. No dedicated fryer, dedicated prep area, or structural GF controls are documented in any source.

HappyCow lists the venue as 'Vegan-friendly' and multiple reviewers confirm 'large selection of vegan options', but the listing explicitly warns it 'uses dairy, so let the staff know if you are vegan and do not want yogurt, ghee, or cream.' No vegan-marked menu exists (reviewer notes 'Menu didn't say what was dairy free'). Staff knowledge is inconsistent: one reviewer was incorrectly told onion bhajis were not vegan (later corrected by a different staff member); another was unable to get a dish prepared vegan and received a bland substitution instead. Accommodation is available on verbal request but depends on which staff member is working.

Dairy (ghee, yogurt, cream) is used throughout the kitchen. HappyCow explicitly states the venue 'uses dairy, so let the staff know if you are vegan and do not want yogurt, ghee, or cream, etc.' A reviewer confirms the menu does not identify which dishes are dairy-free. Dairy-free preparation is available on verbal request but no structural dairy-free controls or menu markings are documented.
