About

An Indian-fusion spot with a laid-back dining area, Minerva serves a daily buffet and a menu featuring both vegan and non-vegan dishes. Vegan offerings like eggplant curry, lentils, and masala dosa are well-liked, though some confusion around labeling and ingredient transparency has been noted.
