They do not label vegan options but can offer dishes such as stuffed aubergine or mushroom risotto and a bowl of fruit for dessert. A vegan who has dined here described the stuffed aubergine main as 'extremely lacking in quality' and the whole visit as 'quite a poor experience'.

Informed our researcher they do not cater for vegans. For example the vegetable biryani contains Carnation milk.
