Frequently Asked Questions
What type of food is served, and how do combo meals work?
Meals are served canteen-style with generous portions at very affordable prices (typically between $7 and $14). Combo plates often include rice, dal, subji vegetables, and can be paired with extras like pakoras, samosas, or halwa.
Are dishes suitable for vegan, onion- and garlic-free, or gluten-free diets?
Dishes are traditional Indian sattvic vegetarian preparations cooked without onion or garlic. Many items are naturally vegan or clearly marked, but the kitchen is not strictly celiac-safe or certified gluten-free due to cross-contamination risks when handling wheat products.
What is the dining setup and etiquette inside?
The venue operates a casual self-service canteen format. A dedicated hand wash station is available for guests to use, and customers return their own plates and trays to a collection trolley after dining.
Is parking available nearby?
Street parking in the immediate Northbridge area can be limited and challenging due to the busy central location. Both paid and free street parking options exist in nearby streets.
