Voxpop- What does Cardiff think of Atma’s concept for healthy living?
“I’m not a vegetarian but I like vegetarian food. When I go out I order vegetarian food because there’s more effort gone into making the food. I’d definitely go there. It’s a good idea. When does it open?” (Becky Cranshaw, works at Principality).
“I’m not a vegan or vegetarian myself, but I know people who are. I think it’s a good idea, with yoga fitting in with relaxation and the concept of healthy living.” (Louise Hoffman, works at Thompsons).
“There’s not many vegan or vegetarian places around here so I think it would be really popular.” (Katie Williams, student).
“I would go there, it’s an experience in itself to try new food. It’s a gap in the market too which makes it really good.” (Ben Donaghue, student).

Atma, a vegetarian café and yoga centre, will open its doors in Cardiff’s Church Street this month. One of only a few vegan and vegetarian eateries in the Welsh capital, Atma will be run by Hare Krishna devotees and offer Mexican, Middle Eastern and American street food dishes, just to name a few, in a takeaway and sit-down form.
The brains behind Atma is Hare Krishna monk Tarakanetha das, who said that Atma’s aim is to create a spa for the soul, to “satisfy your appetite and connect to a healthier lifestyle”.
Atma intends to redefine the way we all try to unwind and recuperate after a busy workday by merging nutritious world food with language, yoga and musical meditation classes, called Kirtan.
