We are Amrutha
We (Arvin and Shyam) brought Amrutha into the world in 2014 and loaded it onto the back of our little vegan food truck in 2015.
Now, we pour our passion into the best restaurant we can imagine, and it turns out that London loves it, too.
With two plant-based restaurants and Amrutha on Road, we share the love with our dedicated little work family and you.
Life To Give, Love To Share
Amrutha is a profound onomatopoeic Sanskrit word meaning nectar of life/ life-giving.
We believe that life is carried within the vibrations of the word. So, when Amrutha enters your ear, that magical gift of life does too.
Our teams and our restaurants are warm and friendly. Everyone is welcome in our cosy corner of the world. We believe in the power of good food, fairness and connection. We treat others as we would like to be treated.
Promise Without Compromise
Our dream was to serve belly-warming, soul-satisfying nutritious food to heal the world and make people smile.
From the early days of catering tents and muddy fields, everything just clicked into place. Right from the start, it was clear that this would be a labour of love.
Our first plant-based London restaurant started on a shoestring budget. Higgledy-piggledy furniture, local suppliers and absolutely no shortcuts or microwaves. Casual and comforting – just the way we like it.
Honor Oak came next, thanks to everyone who gave to our Kickstarter project. It’s an incredible privilege to bring Amrutha to more people and be closer to Central London.
Amrutha on Road is our return to our food truck roots. It’s the next stop on this incredible journey
Hakuna Masala
They say, “Find the job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life”. Well, ta-da! From Amrutha’s origins and forever more, we focus on fresher and progress. We are so grateful to be able to share our passions, food and commitment to giving back.
Alternative
We are not like other London restaurants & we don’t want to be. We don’t work to percentages and margins. We do what is right. We experiment. We refill & refresh. We dare to make mistakes - for the right reasons. We want to be a force for good & create positive change for our community & our customers.
Balance
We take a simple, straightforward & down-to-earth approach to life. We let people be themselves. Bring their own booze. Help them grow. Serve full-flavoured, wholesome, life-giving veg, fruit & herbs with no compromise. We can be ourselves & stay grounded. We are informal & not fussy.
Connection
Connecting is at the heart of our culture. We are strongest when we listen, understand & trust each other. No one drags their feet because we share the same vision. We believe in trusting & empowering people. Giving & taking responsibility are how we grow & develop as individuals.
Developing
We look within ourselves and listen to our customers to find new & better ways forward. Anything can be a source of inspiration. We look for values & potential before experience in our teams. We want to be our best selves & bring out the best in each other.
Equal
As many people as possible should be able to afford a delicious & healthy meal. We charge a fair price for our food without compromising on quality. If a customer feels their meal was not value for money, they can choose to pay what they think the meal was worth. We don’t charge corkage. We don’t want anyone to go hungry, so those who cannot afford to pay can exchange their time. We are grateful for everything we can share.
