Vegetarian by design
Not a mixed menu with a few vegetarian options—a complete vegetarian restaurant.
Many restaurants in Ahangama are vegetarian-friendly. Veda Café is different because vegetarian food is the foundation of the kitchen rather than a small section of the menu.
Breakfast, lunch, drinks and desserts are developed around vegetables, grains, pulses, coconut, fruit, herbs and spices. This gives vegetarian diners more meaningful choice and makes it easier for vegan guests to identify suitable dishes.
