We practice the timeless Ayurvedic art of cooking for the body, mind and spirit, and all our dishes are prepared with the best ingredients available. Thus our mission at Kalachandji’s is to provide vegetarian cuisine that delights the palate, promotes good health, makes the mind peaceful and elevates the consciousness. Although our tradition is lacto-vegetarian, we are committed to serving the vegan community and clearly indicate the items on our menu that contain dairy products.

Such a yummy time! Amazing vegan options at this vegetarian buffet! Loved the gluten free vegan falafel! what a treasure of a place. Magical in every way and love the nature courtyard. 🙂

Kalachandji’s food is absolutely delicious! The buffet is full of flavorful, wholesome dishes that feel both satisfying and nourishing. I was pleasantly surprised to discover it’s right next to a temple – if I had known earlier, I would’ve come a bit early to visit and pray before eating. This place has such a peaceful, welcoming vibe. I’ll definitely be coming here regularly!
Must try tamarind water!

Check it out for some good vegetarian food.
It was 25 bucks per person on Saturday night. It is inside a Hindu temple, so you need to walk through the temple to get to the restaurant. It is a little bizarre as there are shoes when you walk in because if you’re going into the temple to worship, it’s required to remove your shoes.
Anyways, once you get passed that, you’ll find signs that take you to the restaurant.
You should know it’s like a lunch line, with trays, plates and silverware at the entrance of the line. It’s basically a buffet line but you will pay additional for another round of food.
It is very welcoming and the garden is a beautiful place to dine with nature. It’s unconventional to say the least but worth trying the food.

I love this place. The building it is in is beautiful. The restaurant itself has a much bigger outdoors than indoors, which is very nice to sit out in and enjoy the wonderful food. The food is always great. It sometimes tastes a little weird to my American taste buds, but never bad. It’s a great deal for a buffet that includes drink and a hot and cold dessert.

The buffet here is beyond amazing. The flavours are balanced and the vibe of this is place is just so peaceful. The first time you come, the feeling is invariably disbelief. Disbelief that’s followed by wonder.

Wow what a vibe. Located inside of a Hundu Church? The people were very welcoming, art and food was a nice treat. This place is for you if you are vegetarian! There Tamarind drink is tasty. They have a revolving menu. Parking is hard to find so try to come during lunch time!

The atmosphere was welcoming. I was timid about entering since I didn’t know the restaurant is inside the Hindu temple, and I had never been in one. Each dish was amazing and the flavors exploded in my mouth. The food is real natural, fresh, authentic vegetarian Indian food. The tamarind tea/lemonade was my favorite. It is the color of sweet tea, but taste like a rich bold lemonade. The dining area was also beautiful a mixture of indoor and outdoor with strong appreciation for nature
Definitely coming to Kalachandji’s again.

Discovered this hidden gem while we were in search of a pure vegetarian place nearby. The food is too good to be true, Tastes very homelike and can satisfy your soul for sure. You might have limited options to choose from but the food quality and taste you get for the price is very worth it. Desert tastes good too and the whole ambience of the place is very nice and feels peaceful.
The only bad side is their washroom. Being located inside the temple itself having such a dirty washroom was a small downside.
Overall a 5/5 experience. Definitely must go place for vegetarians.

Interesting vegetarian buffet-style restaurant in a temple, lots of character with charming outdoor courtyard for dining. Food is fresh and varied, loved the pickled carrots and jalepenos.
