The restaurant offers an elevated vegetarian dining experience with a menu described as detailed and clever. Standout dishes include the green chickpea hummus, dosa with flavorful sauces, and mushroom walnut bolognese. While most dishes are praised, the cornmeal crusted oyster mushrooms and whole roasted cauliflower have received mixed reviews.
"Standout dishes include the Green Chickpea Hummus and the Dosa with its trio of flavorful sauces. The Tahini-coconut-stuffed dates are a delightful, albeit pricey, dessert, and the Mushroom Walnut Bolognese is praised for its convincing texture."
Customers generally have a very positive sentiment towards the restaurant, frequently recommending it for its delicious and creative vegetarian cuisine, pleasant atmosphere, and suitability for various occasions.
Important Note
The Cornmeal Crusted Oyster Mushrooms have been noted as a dish to skip due to an unfavorable breading-to-mushroom ratio. The Whole Roasted Cauliflower, while popular, can be bland in the center. Ordering multiple small plates can become quite expensive.
