At Langar, a traditional Sikh community kitchen, drinks typically served include chai (Indian spiced tea), lassi (a yogurt-based drink), and water. Chai is a popular hot beverage made with black tea, milk, sugar, and a blend of spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger. Lassi can be sweet or salty and is made by blending yogurt with water and various flavorings like fruit or spices. Water is also commonly served to guests as a symbol of hospitality and purity.
Chapati, puri with curry/dal and halwa(sweet) is served in Langar.
Most foods served in a langar is considered vegetarian but not vegan as milk, cheese and butter fats are almost always used.
A Langar Hall is an open hall positioned with all Sikh Gurdwara's where Langar (free vegetarian food) is served. The Sikhs have to sit on the carpeted floor in straight lines which is called "pentaa" as a sign that everyone is equal before God and that no one has a higher or lower status in Waheguru's domain.
Langar, the communal meal served in Gurdwaras, is open to everyone, regardless of their background, religion, or social status. It embodies the principles of equality and community in Sikhism, emphasizing that all are welcome to partake in the meal. Anyone can join, whether they are Sikh or from another faith, as langar is a symbol of hospitality and service.

In a gurdwara, the communal meal, known as langar, is typically served after the midday prayer, known as the Guru Ka Langar. It is open to everyone, regardless of their background or faith, and promotes the principles of equality and community service. Langar is usually available throughout the day but is most commonly offered during and after the main prayer services.
The people who worship in the gurdwara prepare the langar.
Langar Khana or Langar-Ghar
Langar has always been served while sitting on a matted floor. No one is allowed to sit any different from any other while in Langar. Hence, no one irrespective of any age, color,race, religion, gender, or whatsoever is differentiated from any other.
