A brand new Crossways Hare Krishna Restaurant has opened in the heart of the busiest part of Melbourne, Australia, serving inexpensive all-you-can-eat vegetarian and vegan meals to the Melbourne community.
The restaurant opened on Monday, December 6th, with Melbourne temple president Aniruddha Das cutting the ribbon in a low-key celebration.
Crossways has a major fan base, and people lined up outside as the restaurant was about to open.
The familiar face of Lord Jagannatha looks out from the sign above the door of the restaurant; the ground floor, outdoor seating, and first floor can each seat about forty customers, with a takeaway facility for those in a hurry.
The second floor of the building, which includes an office and an area for bhajan nights, yoga, and one-on-one preaching, can house about twenty people. Books are distributed and available in the upstairs Bhakti Lounge, as well as throughout the restaurant.
Prasadam for Crossways is cooked at the Melbourne ISKCON temple, where there is a large kitchen facility, and transported to the restaurant twice a day, for daytime and evening meals. The menu changes twice a day, with a different menu on offer every day, six days a week.
