Description
The very affordable lunch buffet and specials change daily, but all the food is served unfailingly on classic red cafeteria trays, a simple and disarming touch that will transport many customers back to grade-school lunch. No meat is served (“every living entity is a friend of God,” temple president Ramabhadra Prabhu told BRIC TV) but rather a rotating array of rich soups, samosas, rajma, and kitchari highlights the versatility of vegetarian options. Careful not to pigeonhole itself, the restaurant has non-Indian offerings as well: Both the eggplant parmesan and mango cheesecake come highly recommended. The kitchen avoids cooking with onion and garlic as not to inflame the passions, but every dish comes blessed, free of charge. The lunch-only restaurant refrains from proselytizing, but, with an open seating plan, seems to encourage you to strike up friendly conversation with a stranger.
