⎯⎯ Our Story ⎯⎯
From Cape Town,with love.
प्रसाद · prasāda
“a gracious gift; food offered with devotion”
Prashad Café was born from a simple belief: that food cooked with intention nourishes more than the body. Rooted in the sattvic philosophy of pure, plant-based living, our kitchen draws from the heritage of Punjab, Durban and the southern Indian coast.
Every spice is ground in-house. Every curry built from a base simmered for hours. Our paneer is house-made; our breads pulled from the tandoor; our dals slow-cooked the old way — patient, generous, unhurried.
What began as a single counter in Cape Town has grown to three locations — Wandel Street, Constantia and Rondebosch — each carrying the same warmth and intent.
⎯⎯ Sattvic by Intention
A plant-based kitchen, by tradition.
Sattvic eating means food that is fresh, seasonal, and prepared with care. It excludes meat, fish, eggs, and heavy stimulants — favouring clarity, lightness, and energy. Our entire menu is 100% vegetarian, with vegan options clearly marked across every section.
⎯⎯ Four Regions, One Table
A menu shaped by India's diversity.
- Royal North India — Paneer, kormas, tandoori.
- Durban Heritage — Butter bean, mixed-veg, soya curries.
