I’m not religious at all, but I’ve eaten in some religious-based restaurants such as Harikrishna, adventist, and buddhist. And to be honest, I don't find it creepier than any other religion/cult.
I used to go all the time to a Loving Hut in Chinatown (San Francisco) and got friendly with the staff.
They never mentioned religion or tried to convince me to join their religion/cult. I would be annoyed if they tried to push their religion on me, but instead, they seemed interested in promote vegetarianism and veganism. On a side note, this Chinatown branch has the best vegan Pho I ever had.
We have a loving hut nearby (Brighton, UK), and I can't say that I was particularly taken with the menu. I'm not even sure if I'd class it as food and I'm a champion for veganism!
The quality of their branches doesn’t seem to be consistent. For instance, they have a branch in Palo Alto that is a cafe where they reheat food prepared in advance. The food in this branch is kind of meh. I guess that is one of the reasons I didn’t fell compelled (yet) to go to any branch in London (where I leave now). There’s good (and cheap) vegetarian food everywhere in London!
