Hindu Temple Canteen
Authentic South Indian Vegetarian Cuisine
A Tradition of Devotion, Flavor
& Hospitality Since 1993
Rooted in Tradition.
Prepared with Care.
With the grace and blessings of Sri Maha Vallabha Ganapati, the Temple Canteen began in 1993 with the preparation of naivedyam—food offerings for the deities in accordance with Agama traditions. Today, it welcomes devotees and visitors to enjoy the familiar tastes of South Indian vegetarian cooking.

What began as a service to the Temple gradually became a beloved gathering place.
Encouraged by devotees' appreciation for the traditional flavors of idli, dosa, pongal, upma, sambar and chutney, the Canteen moved to its present spacious Community Center location in 1998.
We remain committed to the spirit of hospitality that has guided the Canteen since its beginning.
