At Lalita’s, we specialise in delicious vegan and gluten-free Keralan (South Indian) street food. We are committed to promoting health and sustainability in every aspect of our food and operations.
All our dishes are vegan and gluten-free, supporting a wide range of dietary needs and contributing to overall wellbeing. We prioritise the freshest ingredients and, wherever possible, use organic and fair-trade ingredients, with every meal prepared onsite daily to ensure high nutritional value and food safety.
Our menu is inspired by authentic Keralan (South Indian) street food and is made from scratch, including our own home-made spice blends such as garam masala and chai masala. This approach allows us to avoid processed ingredients, preservatives, and additives, focusing instead on natural flavours and nutrition.
We believe healthy eating should be accessible, which is why we offer a budget-friendly £8.00 meal option—rice with dal or curry and a papadom or our special slaw—making wholesome food available to all.
In summary, we are passionate about serving food that is good for you and good for the planet, without ever compromising on flavour
The heart of our menu lies in authentic, nourishing dishes made using homemade spices and age-old techniques, with recipes lovingly handed down through generations. Just as our grandmothers and mothers prepared these meals with utmost care to nurture us, we, too, infuse each dish with the same love and dedication, aiming to nourish people and make their visit to Lalita’s truly memorable.
We simply love cooking, and it brings us immense joy to share the food we cherish at home with everyone. We believe that our connection with the Festival community should go beyond mere transactions—we are here to help create lasting memories. We hope that, even after their short stay away from home, people remember the vibrant tastes and the genuine care they received at Lalita’s, feeling thoroughly nurtured and valued during their time with us.
