I absolutely love this restaurant! It’s such a joy to find a place that’s fully vegan and delivers on both flavour and quality. The food was excellent and the service was really great too! The ice cream especially was unbelievably good!

We were a group of 20 people who came for dinner. I must say that the food was delicious, well presented and made with fresh, healthy ingredients. They also accommodated our requests of Jain food and no oil cooking. The owner, staff members were all kind, humble and friendly people. They have a great menu which will satisfy all palates. I would highly recommend their buttermilk, triple soup, jackfruit biryani and chocolate mousse in dessert. This is a place which will make you love vegan cuisine.

The restaurant is tucked away in a calm and serene spot, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing meal. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed, making you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. The food was not only delicious but also well-prepared with great attention to detail, showing real care in both flavor and presentation. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, which added to the overall experience. I’d happily recommend this place to anyone looking for a delightful and memorable dining experience!

Visited this restaurant yesterday with my family and we all loved it. It’s located in a quiet neighbourhood and best if you like the escape all the city rush and find peace. Come here with a mindset to slow down and savour all the flavours and ambience as they will take time to prepare your food from scratch. Bring a book or talk to the owners — they are very good host. You will not like this place if you are in rush! The portion size is just right for those who enjoy the food mindfully. We shared 5 different food items from Chinese to Italian and we all feel good — this confirms their choice of high quality ingredients. Highly recommend!

One of the best Vegan / Plant based restaurants with Amazing customer service. The food was amazing. The best part is you get your food customised to the finest level( without garlic/ onion) on every single food. Highly recommend to experience the food and fantastic service.

Ambience was delightful. Atmosphere was very calm and soothing. Food was excellent, earthly and very light on the stomach. I loved the Tofu burji which was delicious and fulfilling. Overall, the experience was amazing.
