Jyoti’s World Cusine is a creation of Jyoti and Marc Friedland, former owners of Talley’s Green Grocery, Charlotte’s first natural foods supermarket (1991-2008).
In Jyoti’s Kitchen we use our own original recipes made from scratch including our own….
Vegan Mayo, Ketchup, Marinara Sauce, BBQ Sauce, Wheat Gluten (Seitan), Veggie Sausage, Corned Wheat Gluten, Bac’Ans (bacon alternative), All the Sauces, Kimchi, Pickles, Dips, Dressings, Roti, Chapathy, and More!
- Most of our menu items are either vegan or have a vegan/dairy option.
- We use nuts, wheat, and soy in our kitchen and organic ingredients whenever possible. We use only organic sugar, organic milk and milk alternatives, and organic flour.
- We don’t have a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, but we have dedicated utensils, but there’s still a chance of error. Our Tamari is gluten-free.
None of our recipes use any animal products except for milk (as an option) where noted. Any reference in this menu to animal products (other than milk) is purely for entertainment purposes.
