At Karma, rather than diners having to trawl through an extensive main menu wondering what’s suitable for them, the dedicated vegan and gluten free menus are simply set out and easy to read. Both the vegan and gluten free menus have hundreds of combinations with a few different dishes in each section of the menus.

Owner Hussain Miah said: “We like to be creative with our dishes and give them a modern twist — you’ll find some really interesting dishes on our menus. We also don’t want vegan and gluten free options to just be an afterthought or lost in a big menu — we’ve decided to step up and provide dedicated menus to make sure we’re being inclusive.”

The move has proven to be popular amongst diners and has even led to a vegan wedding celebration being hosted at the restaurant. A fine example of how Karma has adapted seamlessly to the needs of a changing world, the restaurant has struck a perfect balance of old-school tradition and modern innovation.

Hussain summarised: “Although tradition is so important, it’s also important to move with the times. We’re always listening to our customers’ needs — something that many business owners forget to do when they’re so fixated on running the place. Having the dedicated and simplified vegan and gluten free menus has been received so well and some say all restaurants should be this way.”
