FAQ - MEALS

Are meals available?

Yes.  Tushita serves a tasty & healthy blend of Indian, Tibetan and Western vegetarian meals, three times per day.  Typical meals are…
•    Breakfast: porridge, a piece of fruit, bread, butter and homemade jam. (Drinks: Hot water and milk)
•    Lunch: rice, dahl (lentil stew), a vegetable dish and salad (Drinks: Hot water)
•    Dinner: vegetable soup, bread, butter and homemade jam (Drinks: Hot water and milk tea - chai)

Safe filtered drinking water is available 24 hours a day, milk tea (chai) is also served in the afternoon and there are always tea bags (black tea) for you to make your own tea.



I have special dietary needs.  Can Tushita provide special food for me?


Considering the large number of people we cook for, as well as the wide variety of food allergies/preferences, we unfortunately are NOT able to provide for special dietary needs.  Please don't put us in the position to say no by asking for special arrangements.

To help you to decide whether you will be able to eat the food offered at Tushita, here is some more information about our all-vegetarian meals: some of our dishes contain wheat, dairy, nuts, soy or other ingredients which may cause allergic reactions in some people, and occasionally baked products may contain eggs. Almost all of our dishes contain at least a small amount of oil, spices, salt and/or sugar. 



I would like to take the Eight Mahayana Precepts during my stay.  Do your meals contain black foods?


Our meals will usually not contain ‘black foods’ (eggs, onions, garlic and radishes), so they are ‘precept safe’.  Those dishes which do contain these ingredients will be labeled.
