The Madras Cafe

The kitchen is entirely dedicated to vegetarian and vegan food, with no meat, poultry, fish, or seafood on the premises. The restaurant describes itself as an all-vegan and vegetarian restaurant. It is not accredited by any external body, though it is structurally verifiable as a 100% vegetarian kitchen.

The venue self-describes as 'all-vegan and vegetarian' but is actually a lacto-vegetarian kitchen (dairy used). Vegan items are marked on the menu (V symbol). Staff can veganise many dishes. However, three independent HappyCow reviews report receiving dairy (paneer/cheese) when ordering vegan, indicating a real cross-contamination risk. There is a shared prep area and no dedicated vegan fryer or kitchen.

No gluten-free labelling on the official menu. Two HappyCow reviews note that staff are knowledgeable and can identify GF items (curries are naturally gluten-free). No dedicated fryer, kitchen, or accreditation reported. The venue does not appear on FindMeGlutenFree or celiac-friendly lists. Cross-contamination risk is typical of a shared kitchen.

Dairy appears throughout the kitchen, including paneer, ghee, and yogurt. The menu labels vegan items with a V, indicating they are dairy-free, but no separate dairy-free preparation area exists. Multiple reports indicate that dairy has been accidentally served in vegan orders. Accommodation is possible upon request, though the risk of cross-contact remains high.
