"Before going vegan I loved coming to this restaurant for vegetarian Indian food. After making the switch to vegan I hesitated to return, and with good reason. When asking the waiters what I could eat that was cooked without ghee, they appeared to be guessing and pointed to a few options and did not make me feel confident that they would let the kitchen know of my request. I ordered the masala dosa and an appetizer they suggested and felt incredibly sick the following day, as I used to feel before going vegan. I know that there was something I ate that contained ghee it was cooked in it. I would not eat here again and can not recommend it to vegans."

Food is ready very fast. If you like spicy make sure to ask for it because it is quite mild. Their dosa always hits the spot.

I've been to this place a handful of times and always cant wait to return. The options are endless, love the vegan Idli, the dosas, the breads. Mmmhmm good.

the line to van leeuwen was huge, so I stopped here when I saw her on the happy cow app. I'm really glad I did because all their sorbet options are vegan, and delicious. View menu

this is a gelateria that has a series of prominently displayed vegan sorbets, with places to sit and eat. the sorbets are richer than typical. the cones are unfortunately not vegan, at least not when I visited.

I went there before the pandemic and I'll have to go back soon. it was a very good place and the sorbet was delicious! what made it really amazing, was the way they stylize the ice to look like a rose. beautiful place to go to a date. View menu

This neighbourhood gem creates flower art of your sorbetto choices. The quality is exceptional with vegan choices clearly marked, including flavors: chocolate, hazelnut, strawberry, raspberry, mango, lime basil, passion fruit, banana, and coconut. Several of these are typically organic, too. Enjoy! They will even make a vegan sorbet shake!
