The Lemon Tree
Known for its affordable vegetarian thali meals, The Lemon Tree serves a mix of South Indian and Sri Lankan dishes with an emphasis on vegan-friendly options—dine-in and takeout include samosas and various curries. Staff are generally friendly and informative, willing to explain vegan specifics, though some care is needed due to the use of ghee in certain dishes. The setting suits casual meals with local workers and families alike, with very low prices and a broad menu that occasionally requires clarification on vegan suitability.
