A Pure Vegetarian Restaurant Burleigh Heads Food Lovers Drive For
Khao Piyo is a fully vegetarian Indian kitchen just up the coast from Burleigh Heads. Where most vegan restaurants Burleigh Heads locals rely on stick to a short plant-based side menu, we serve a full Indian vegetarian restaurant experience — street food, curries, thalis and Indo-Chinese favourites, all cooked without meat, fish or eggs anywhere in the kitchen.
Whether you're after a quick vegetarian lunch or a proper sit-down thali, our menu is built for vegetarian, vegan and Jain diners who want the real thing, not an afterthought.
Book a TableA Genuine Jain Restaurant Burleigh Heads Diners Struggle to Find
Most cafes near the beach can't cook Jain-style at all. At Khao Piyo, we prepare genuine Jain-friendly dishes with no onion and no garlic on request, cooked separately so the flavour stays authentic while the dietary observance is respected properly. It's a detail our guests regularly call out — and one reason Jain families make the trip up from Burleigh Heads.
- Jain Paneer Curries — cooked to order
- Jain Dal & Thali options
- Ask your server — no advance notice required
