EP 2: Arvin’s Journey - Being an Immigrant in the UK, Spirituality & His Passion for Making Healthy Food

In today’s episode, I’m having a conversation with Arvin Suntaramoorthy, a co-owner of an amazing vegan restaurant, Amrutha Lounge in South London. 

In our conversation, Arvin shares how his parents emigrated from Sri Lanka to escape the civil war when he was a young child and moved to Germany and then to London, UK where they made their new home. We talked about his journey from that time to where he is now as a successful socially-driven restaurant owner.  

Arvin is also a practitioner of contemplative meditation with qualifications in Business, Detoxification and Herbology and a keen runner. 

I first met Arvin when I went to Amrutha to celebrate my one year vegan anniversary with my partner back in 2021. 

After our meal, Arvin came to our table to say hi to us with a complimentary dessert and I was really taken by Arvin’s smile and the warmth as we chatted. There’s a funny story involved with this which you will hear in the intro of this episode! 

I hope you enjoy my conversation with Arvin as much as I did. He’s got so much wisdom and I know that you will be inspired by his journey and take away so much from this episode!
