Sadhana Forest - Auroville

You can visit Sadhana Forest and experience the vibe of a true community that aspires to live compassionately towards humans, animals, plants and the Earth! You can join anytime for a meal. The food is cooked with love, joy and dedication. It is wholefood plant-based. You are treated as a guest, there is no charge for visiting and joining for a meal. Try joining on Friday evening for the tour, documentary night and the Friday dinner.

This restaurant is like stepping into a lush, rejuvenating forest where you can truly connect with nature. The bamboo hut with floor seating sets the perfect tranquil atmosphere as you prepare to enjoy your meal. The food, cooked and served by caring volunteers, is not only delicious but also unlimited, nutritious, unprocessed, and vegan. Every dish is a delight for the senses. The best part? There is no cost for the food as this establishment operates on a gift culture. It's hard to believe in today's world, but this place truly believes in giving back to the community.

I have been a vegan for 5 years and have been living here for 6 weeks. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant for their Friday tour and film show, where a free dinner is included.

What can I say? You come to their beautiful setting in the forest and get served free vegan food, everybody eating together. You can take a tour around the place and learn about the project. Also they screened Cowspiracy when I was there. It’s a must go!

When you visit Sadhana Forest, you can expect to be served tasty, healthy, and satisfying vegan meals prepared by the project's volunteers. The food aligns with the project's values by promoting a connection with nature, the body, and the mind. In addition, the friendly and open-minded atmosphere encourages communal dining and conversation. And the best part? It's all free! Embrace the gift economy and enjoy your experience at Sadhana Forest.
