About
Higher Taste Hare Krishna is a vegetarian Indian restaurant known for its buffet-style meals with a strong vegan focus—most dishes on the buffet are vegan and priced around $10 to $17 depending on plate size. The space is below street level in Press Hall and has a casual, self-service atmosphere popular for solo lunch dining. While food is generally well-priced and includes staples like dahl, chana masala, and baked potatoes with masala, some reviews highlight occasional blandness and confusing vegan labeling.
