Hare Krish

The Hare Krishna food initiatives in New Zealand specialize in high-quality vegetarian and vegan Indian cuisine, emphasizing sattvic (pure) food prepared without onion or garlic. Their offerings range from traditional Indian dishes like samosas and vegetable preparations to sweets, often using organic produce from their own farms. Central to their philosophy, the food is offered to Lord Krishna before serving, transforming it into 'prasadam' and imbuing it with spiritual benefits. These initiatives operate through award-winning restaurants like Higher Taste in Wellington, and welfare programs like Food for Life, distributing free meals across the country.
