If you want vegetarian food in Masinagudi without hunting for it each day, the simplest plan is to stay somewhere with a vegetarian kitchen on site. At Labdhi Resorts, one of Avenue Tree's two properties in Masinagudi, the restaurant is purely vegetarian.
Dining arrangements vary from one Masinagudi resort to the next, including between our own properties, so this guide covers Labdhi Resorts only. It sets out what we can confirm about dining there, what to check before you travel and how to plan meals around your days out.
- Vegetarian restaurant: Aurora, Labdhi's on-site restaurant, is purely vegetarian.
- Non-vegetarian food: not on the standing menu; only by special request.
- Meals in your quote: confirm what your rate includes rather than assuming.
- Share early: dietary needs and children's ages belong in your enquiry, not on arrival.

Vegetarian Dining at Labdhi Resorts
Labdhi Resorts' restaurant, Aurora, is purely vegetarian. The property describes the menu as South Indian and North Indian dishes, with a few international options. Breakfast is served each morning.
The dining hall is open-sided under a pitched roof, with timber tables and benches that look out over the lawn. For a stay built around nature and wildlife, meals there are part of the slower rhythm of the day between outings.
Non-Vegetarian Requests
Non-vegetarian food is not on Aurora's standing menu. It can be arranged only by special request through the property manager. If someone in your group would like it, raise it when you enquire, well before your stay, so the team can tell you whether it can be arranged for your dates.
Why the Details Are Worth Confirming
Restaurant hours can shift in this landscape, and Labdhi's own restaurant page recommends confirming them for your exact dates. The same goes for which meals suit your plans and how they are charged.
Please contact the Avenue Tree team to confirm meal availability, timings, dietary requests and applicable charges before your stay.

What to Confirm About Meals Before Your Stay
These are questions to ask, not a description of current services. Ask them when you enquire, and keep the answers with your booking.
- Which meals are available during your dates?Ask about breakfast, lunch and dinner for each day of your stay, including the day you arrive and the day you leave.
- Are meals included in the quoted stay price?Ask which meals your quote covers, for how many guests and on which days.
- Is advance notice required?Especially for dietary requests or a non-vegetarian request.
- What are the current serving arrangements?Ask about serving times, and what to expect if you arrive late or head out early.
- What charges apply?For any meals not covered by your rate, and whether taxes are included.
Ask for the answers in writing, in your quote or confirmation message, so everyone in your group knows what has been arranged.
Travelling with Children or Dietary Requirements
If you are travelling with children, tell the team their ages when you enquire. Ages help the team suggest a suitable room and talk through meals for the whole group. Between meals, Labdhi Resorts has a children's play area and indoor games such as table tennis.
Labdhi asks guests to mention allergies, timing requests and dietary preferences when they book rather than on the day, because supplies come up the ghat road. Sharing a requirement early is the best way to find out what is possible. It is not the same as a confirmed arrangement, so wait for the team to confirm before you rely on it.
Vegetarian does not automatically mean vegan, dairy-free or free from any particular allergen. If anyone in your group has an allergy or a strict dietary requirement, explain exactly what must be avoided and how strictly, and ask what can be done.
Planning Meals Around Your Outings
Many guests come to Masinagudi for safaris, drives and day trips, and early starts or long days out do not always line up with mealtimes. Forest department safaris in Mudumalai run to their own timings, which change with the season.
When you enquire, share your rough plans, such as an early safari, a day towards Ooty or a late arrival, and ask how meals can fit around them. Don't assume a meal can be served outside the usual arrangements until the team has confirmed it.
If you are driving in, the Bandipur and Thorarapalli forest gates close at 9:00 PM, so plan your arrival, and your dinner, around that. Our Mudumalai safari guide, two-day Masinagudi itinerary and travel information page help you shape the days.
