Your Questions, Answered
Everything you need to know before your first visit to Crossways.
Absolutely. Just $9.50 covers two courses plus a drink, with unlimited helpings. No upselling, no tricks — food made with love and served with generosity since 1982.
Crossways has been 100% vegetarian since 1982. The vast majority of our menu is also fully vegan. We never use meat, fish, or eggs — every dish is prepared fresh daily in a spirit of purity.
Prasadam is a Sanskrit word meaning "mercy" or "gift." In the Hare Krishna tradition it refers to food prepared with devotion and spiritually offered to the Divine before serving — believed to nourish the soul as well as the body.
Not at all. Crossways warmly welcomes everyone regardless of faith, background, or belief. You are always welcome.
Simply. Enjoy 9 nourishing meals at $9.50 each, and your 10th plate is completely on us. Ask our staff about your meal passport when you visit.
