Golden Temple has been a natural grocery with a cafe on Southside since 1973, and its own site calls the cafe Birmingham's first exclusively vegetarian restaurant. Bham Now's January 2026 healthy-food list calls it Birmingham's first and longest-running vegetarian restaurant and picks the vegan grilled cheese. A photo caption on the site shows the Khalsa family in the cafe.
