Caleb

Kitchen All-Rounder

Pro vegan chef for over seven years. He can even forage the forest for goodness to create with! This guy chops ALL those delightful vegetables you can see in your Krishna curry today, and the 300 + others also eating curry today, and in the samosas, lasagne, salads, sausage rolls (yes they’re vegan) everything you see served here, every day. Big job and big gratitude to Caleb. Meet him at our monthly cooking classes! His passion for cooking is so inspiring!

Gokul

Marketing & Communications

She missed Krishna Food so much that she recently moved from Auckland back to Wellington just in time for the opening of the cafe. Queen of gift-giving. Krishna Food marketing heroin. Hands up for this paparazzi lady who you have probably met already asking for your photo or video at the cafe… for a free plate of course!
She lets us all know cool things like how Krishna salad dressing can now be brought in BYO bottles, yussss
And when new vegan ice cream flavours come out, yussss.

Thanks to this savvy lady the Krishna Food Cafe exists.
Projector manager, menu manager, staff manager, anything and everything manager.
How many broken down rice cookers and bain maries and freezers and taps and unemptied compost bins has this lady had to fix in her life thus far?! Her warm smile will brighten your day. If you see her around encourage her to open more vegan cafes around town people!

Citta

Front of house

She is the little sister of Madhava, our general manager, but her smile is far from little. It’s big and warm enough to uplift anyone from a hard day at Uni. Her eyes along with her gracious smile will melt your heart and if you get a chance to witness her energetic dancing it will put a smile of your face as big as her charming smile.
