Closed - Edit
I stopped by but everything was shut up. The Indian restaurant next door said they have not been open for a while. I don’t think they are going to be open anytime soon 😔

Delicious! - Edit
We travelled from Cenang beach to come here. Was well worth the trip. Friendly staff, delicious food, best mock meat I've ever had. Recommend the sweat and sour "chicken" and the four flavour tofu. Was well priced and filling! I was surprised at how tastey and how many flavours there were. The lady who took our order read through our options with us, made recommendations and answered my questions about what I could and couldn't eat.

Best Vegetarian Choice in Langkawi - Edit
Apparently there are not many choices in Langkawi and I spent most of my time eating at this vegetarian restaurant. I heard that there was a change in ownership and they no longer provide the transport service, so you can ignore the prices indicated on the wall for the tours and trips. Lastly, I felt that the prices are quite steep, considering that this is Malaysia. Food is tasty and I enjoyed eating at this restaurant. You can try to stay at Bella Vista Resort as it is just opposite the road and this resort has an excellent seaside pool and a seaside bar.

surprisingly expensive. - Edit
Surprisingly expensive. There was one page that had cheaper options, so we only ordered from there. The portions were small, so we ordered 2 different dishes each.
Read moreStaff were friendly and food came quickly.
Herbal "tea" is pretty gross, don't order it.

hard to get food - Edit
We went to xin an, excited to eat at the only veg place open in the evening on the whole island. Sadly, the staff were extremely unfriendly, and basically refused to serve us. There was only one other table of customers, so they werent busy, but after trying unsuccessfully to be served for 10 minutes, we gave up and left.

Good food - Edit
Hey guys,
Read moreI've been there twice and enjoyed the food. The owner of the shop is quite friendly. That ambience is quite cold and you can only sit inside. Also the offerings are quite expensive.
The restaurant is easy to find because it's close to the main road, but located at the opposite side of the houses.
Pros: Vegan, In town, Easy to find
Cons: Expensive, Cold ambience

Very nice dinner - Edit
As europeans of course we have limited knowledge what to eat and where, to really get vegetarian or vegan. We tried 4 dishes and all of them were really good. Soup with seaweed and tofu was great also for our 3 year old son, as he can not eat spicy. Spring rolls were the nicest i had in a week in Malaysia and i really liked the dish with spicy fried tofu. Noodles were also very good.

over price restaurant - Edit
This seems to be the only PURE vegetarian restaurant in langkawi. The owner took this advantage and over charge if she judged you are a tourist. I had a plate of economy plain fried rice which normally RM3 maximum, as it was cooked in buck. end up paid rm5.50 as the onwer knew i was tourist in Langkawi. It is not the matter of money but honesty in running business.

Very friendly but variable food - Edit
This is one of the only vegetarian restaurants in Langkawi.
Read moreWe did not find this restaurant difficult to find as some other users have commented - it is located on the main road and the sign was visible whilst driving along the main road.
The lady running the restaurant was very friendly, introduced us to one of her friends who gave us a lift back to our hotel, and was very keen for us to return to taste the lunchtime buffet!
I thought the food however was quite variable. We had a vegetable dish which was good, tofu claypot dish which was average, and spring rolls which were ok but did not have enough filling and I thought parts of them were cold (not sure if they had been deep friend for long enough).
We ordered orange juice and asked for no ice however there were some communication issues as we cannot speak Chinese - they only used one orange per juice with warm water so it tasted like a diluted orange tea.
Pros: Very friendly, (try buffet at lunch?)
Cons: variable food quality

Nice little place where few other options abound - Edit
Palau Langkawi may be a beautiful island, but it is not a great place to go eating if you're vegan. There are very few options. We are staying in Cenang on the beach, and essentially eating whatever we can cobble together at the various restaurants that are seafood dominated. That means some hummos and falafel at the various arabic places, and the odd pasta primavera. We needed something more, and went to the only place available, Xin An Vegetarian, which is open for lunch and dinner, but closed from 3:30-6:30. It is in the main town, Kuah, where very few travellers stay, and a 24RM taxi-ride from Cenang. The food here was above average, if not great. We skipped the buffet, which looked cold, and instead ordered Sweet and Sour (Mock) Chicken, Mixed Vegetables, and Hot and Sour Soup (Tom Yum) Soup. All three were good, with the chicken the best of the lot. The soup looked oily, but was actually quite good, if not outstanding. The servers were really friendly.
Read moreThis place was VERY hard to find. Most locals we asked had no idea where it was, and given the sparsity of street signs in Langkawi, I can't provide much more detail. I will say this. It is outside of the "main" part of Kuah, and several kilometers from the Jetty. It is about 1km west from the Bayview Hotel, which is a huge landmark. The "street", or "center" was Kalang Mas, but we got several pieces of contradictory advice about where that was, and only got there after consulting repeatedly with locals. Our taxi driver had no idea. If you go left at the Bayview, away from the Jetty, and continue down the only main street for about a km, you will see Xin An on your left-hand side. Wish I could be more precise, but I looked for recognizable landmarks, and there really were none. Good luck!
The quality of the food probably warrants about three cows, or three and a half. Given that it is the only vegetarian place in Langkawi, I'm throwing it an extra cow!
Pros: friendly staff, an oasis
Cons: hard to find, not cheap
