Photo: Shri Lakshmi Foods A vegan and vegatarian Indian restaurant has been named the Your Local Guardian Takeaway of the Year 2020. Shri Lakshmi Foods has only been open for eleven months, but it is already winning the hearts (and stomachs) of locals. The Walthamstow restaurant delivers a varied menu of vegan and vegetarian foods prepared in a nut-free kitchen. Owner Nihar Baldev says opening a restaurant was always a dream of his and felt that 2020 was the right time to give it a go as he had the right team around him, his family.
