Located in the Temple premises, it is convenient to visit. They serve select vegetarian Indian snacks like idlis, vadas, chaat and also drinks like lassi, chaas and the usual sodas. One of the few places where you can even get limca.

It was very Devine experience and authentic Indian vegetarian food along with westernized Indian food preserving the values and authenticity This place does not open until 11 am so if you are planning to go there earlier use the express cafe which is inside the complex before you reach to the cafe I stayed 10 days in this area and was going everyday to eat for lunch and supper I would be more happy if they open early and stay open little more in the evening

Shayona Café at Akshardham Temple is an excellent place to dine! The food is always fresh and flavorful, with a wide variety of vegetarian options to choose from. The café is clean, well-maintained, and has plenty of seating. It can get busy on weekends, but the service is efficient, and the overall experience is always enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the temple!

The only 2 vegan options are a snack item and French fries. We spoke to the staff and cooks. Even the rice has butter, and the idlis and utthapa have ghee. Do not plan to eat a meal here if you are vegan.

Food is strictly okay for the price paid. What's not okay is the long lines at the stations, no proper signage in the cafeteria and limited seating. Most first time visitors were asking around for directions on what to do with the receipt taken from ordering on the kiosks. Seating can be hard to find, especially on weekends. The flow goes so: 1. Order food at the kiosk as soon as you enter the cafeteria. 2. Memorize the token number on the receipt if you've ordered food that comes from multiple stations (there are 4). 3. Stand in the queue at each station, show the receipt or tell out the token number to collect the food. 4. Pay for the food while exciting the stations and entering the seating area.
There are ready-to-eat options like fried rice, spring rolls, samosas and drinks by the aisles if waiting is not your thing. Just pick them up and pay at the counter.

Large canteen at the temple. Food is good, and it's quite spacious.
This food is not how authentic indian food tastes like, looks like taste was compromised in automating process to serve faster. Please refrain from thinking so.

Shayana Café at BAPS Temple is a very good cafeteria that almost feels like a proper restaurant. There’s plenty of seating inside, but it does get extremely crowded and quite slow during peak hours.
They offer full meals as well as ready-made items like dhokla, samosas, papdi, and other snacks. They also serve juices, tea, coffee, and mango lassi, all at reasonable prices—not too expensive.
We only went for the ready-made food because of the long queues for billing. The dhokla was awesome—fresh and flavorful! The samosa was good too, though the mango lassi wasn’t sweet enough for my taste. Overall, the food quality and taste are very good, but be prepared for crowds if you visit during busy times.

We visited Shayona Cafe at Akshardham Temple and ordered the thali, pav bhaji, medu wada, and samosa chaat. Everything was delicious, especially the dhokla — soft and flavorful!
However, the coconut chutney served with the medu wada seemed spoiled. We informed the staff at the counter, but unfortunately, they didn’t take any action or show concern, which was disappointing. We even have a picture of it as proof.
Other than that, the cafe had a nice atmosphere, reasonable prices, and the rest of the food was fresh and tasty. Would still recommend trying it, but I hope they improve on food safety and responsiveness to feedback.

Heaven. The food is TOO good. I got their authentic thaali, and it was definitely authentic. My group also ordered samosa chaat, pav bhaji, and various deserts, all of which were beyond amazing. Don’t forget to stop by their canteen before leaving BAPS, it’s truly worth it.
