Very lovely owner and restaurant, a lot of options, it is very rare to find a vegan and gluten free restaurant. The spinach curry had a lot of spices and tasted very interesting. The apple pie was bit too sweet for my taste but I believe most people would love it. And it is very creative, with a layer of delicious cashew cream on the bottom. I believe there are a lot of wonderful things to taste there. Meal type: Lunch Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Vegan
