Great food for HUGELY CHEAP price! I would be surprised in finding a cheaper place in the CBD! $9.50 and you can have more than just one dish (if you manage to eat your first one, since the quantities are very generous!). Kind and smiley staff!
Hands down, this is one of the best and most affordable Indian vegetarian spots in town! Not only are you served delicious mains, but they also include Havala and Lassi—a full spread of authentic Indian flavors. It’s incredible value for money! What makes it even better is that the price you pay is NET—no additional surcharges—and every penny goes directly to charity, as it’s a non-profit. Knowing that you’re enjoying healthy, affordable food while contributing to a good cause is an unbeatable combination. Oh, and did you know? If you’re still hungry, you can even ask for more portions. How awesome is that?
Fact is, I used to go to the old Hare Krishna temple that was located in Flinders Lane back in the days (long ago) when they served food at lunch times and only accepted donations, then they moved down to Swanston St and started charging but a very small fee for an all you can eat set menu. Well, today, I went past as I have done many times but have not provided a review (silly me), so I took it upon myself to review it as this place deserves. Located in the heart of Melbourne's busy Swanston Street, Crossways Restaurant, offers deliciously prepared all you can eat set vegetarian menu. This is the only place in Melbourne offering a healthy all you can eat vegetarian set menu at an affordable price that has made Crossways Restaurant very popular with people from all walks of life walking in to share in the experience. Definitely a must place to visit for everyone who loves healthy and tasty vegetarian food. Highly recommended.
Crossways Vegetarian and Vegan Restaurant provides a very valuable and unique dining experience in the heart of Melbourne. The all-you-can-eat format is excellent for those seeking a filling and budget-friendly meal. The food is prepared with clear care and dedication by the Hare Krishna devotees, resulting in a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The daily changing menu ensures that there's always something slightly different to try. The core of the menu focuses on wholesome and comforting vegetarian and vegan dishes, and this focus creates a reliable and satisfying meal. If you enjoy hearty, flavorful, and consistant style meals, you will enjoy crossways. The friendly staff and the restaurant's overall mission are definite highlights. It's a clean and well-maintained space, and the second floor lounge area adds a nice, relaxing element. If you're looking for a simple, filling, and very reasonably priced vegetarian/vegan meal, Crossways is a very good choice.
THE BEST! the food is nutritious, cheap and soooo delicious! It’s all you can eat and I can’t say anything but WOW. Very cool to have an opportunity like that in the city!
