Kalachandji’s is the Best Restaurant in Dallas - Edit
This is the oldest vegetarian restaurant in the city and it has the most amazing food I’ve ever had. Everything tastes authentic and incredible, and it’s all you can eat for an affordable price. A new favorite for anybody that tries it.

Wow - great buffet almost entirely vegan! - Edit
We were so glad we made the effort to eat at Kalachandji’s during our single day in Dallas. The restaurant is located in a temple - don’t let that intimidate you. Everyone was welcoming. The food was fresh, flavorful, and not spicy hot. Several dishes made us say “wow.” Try everything - it’s worth it, and all for a great price. If new to this place, grab a tray and start serving yourself. You pay at the end of the line, but can return for more (we didn’t because the plate and bowl for soup was plenty). Make sure to get an included dessert and the amazing Tamarind Lemonade.

Pleasantly Surprised - Edit
I was thrilled to find their Thanksgiving buffet was so good. After the worst Thanksgiving week ever, it was nice to still get to have a great meal. When in doubt, get the pakora. Always get the pakora. It's the best thing I've ever put in my mouth.
Read morePros: Most things were vegan., The pakora was delicious!, We spent half what we do anywhere else we go.
Cons: Some things aren't vegan. , It's in Dallas. , Some things were less warm than preferred.

Best vegan/vegetarian food in Dallas - Edit
This restaurant is, in my opinion, the best vegan and vegetarian restaurant in Dallas! It is located in a beautiful Hare Krishna temple. The food is incredible with a menu that is almost exclusively vegan. They clearly mark which food options have dairy, are spicy, and are gluten-free. The service was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. This was my first time here but I know I will be back soon!
Read morePros: All vegetarian, mostly vegan, Beautiful temple with a great atmosphere, Great service
Cons: Nothing!

Great Indian Food - Edit
Great traditional vegetarian Indian food buffet. Very decent price. The dessert was good (bread or rice pudding). Also decent selection on hot tea. I love the atmosphere here and the outdoor dining.
Read moreWas also told they are always having a "party" and to come by again. There is also a temple and will have prayer. This is definitely a neat dining experience. They also have cooking classes.
Pros: Excellent food, Great vibe

Flavorful buffet & great atmosphere - Edit
This is a very cool place. Loved the atmosphere. They have an outdoor sitting area, beautiful setting. The restaurant is inside a Hare Krishna temple. Very cool experience visiting the temple. They also have a gift store. This place is a must visit. The food is delicious. On the wall menu they mark nonvegan products with a cow 🐮. There was only 2 nonvegan (vegetarian) menu items when I visited. They mark spicy menu items with a pepper 🌶. There was only 1 spicy item. This is a buffet style restaurant so you can go back and get more food! They had 1 vegan dessert when I visited. It was like a chocolate pudding bread/cake. Amazing! The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable in identifying nonvegan menu items. They had tamarind water. I loved everything I tried. Do yourself a favor and visit this place!

Beautiful restaurant, homemade food, great cooking classes - Edit
I love dining at the beautiful outdoor patio, attending the cooking classes, and chowing down at the buffet. Everything is fresh and delicious and this is one of my favorite places to eat in DFW. There's always a lot of vegan options, including dessert!

Great Food! - Edit
The food at Kalachandji's is great and the staff is super helpful in identifying what specifically is vegan or might contain common allergens. Make sure you save room for the dessert.

Love this place - Edit
This is a great place to go for a buffet of vegetarian (mostly vegan) food. The atmosphere of the location is great and you have the option to eat outside in a courtyard with a large tree in the middle. It's definitely worth trying - especially if you live in the area.

Awesome place - Edit
My friend who lived in the area took me here. I loved the whole experience, the website updates daily and shows all foods vegan/vegetarian/ gluten free status. The mango halvah was amazing. The surrounding neighborhood would have made me nervous if I wasn’t with someone who knew their way around. Some stores had bullet holes in the windows. I would recommend going in the day time if you haven’t been before. And definitely eat on the patio! ❤️

Wonderful experience - Edit
This place is so special. It's really a must see in Dallas. They offer a vegan dessert upon request. When I was there it was a really perfectly spiced delicious ginger cookie. Be sure to walk the grounds and temple and pick up something cool from the gift shop. You'll have a fantastic meal here with so much more!

Amazing veggie and vegan food with a menu that's updated daily and ayurvedic drive. Their courtyard may also be the best dining oasis in Dallas. Kalachandji's even teaches ayurvedic cooking classes.

My Favorite Place to Eat! - Edit
Kalachandji's is not just a restaurant it's an experience. You enter the temple and are transported into another world that is calm and peaceful. The food reflects the environment and the servers are always very kind and gracious. I love the tamarind punch, it's so unique and tasty. The food is always delicious and filling. If I lived in the area I would come to eat all the time!

Local on vacation - Edit
When I am there and sitting outside on the enclosed patio, I feel like I am on vacation. The patio is simple, but beautiful. The overall environment is calming and relaxing. Definitely a local "go to". Menu changes daily. Non Vegan options are identified when you don't see the dairy icon next to them on the menu board. Same for gluten. They use a wheat icon next to any items which include gluten. Buffet style. Salad bar, soup and hot items.. If it's not too busy, I usually start with soup and/or salad, then go back through the line for hot foods. Go back as often as you want. No alcoholic beverages served. If you want take away, ask for containers before you go through the line. They have great parking on the back side, parallel to Gurley off of Phillip Ave. They offer a Ginger cookie for vegan dessert option. Also, the cinnamon bread is vegan and tasty, but has wheat.
Read morePros: Unique and comfortable setting, Tasty food, Plenty of food for Vegans
Cons: Closed on Mondays
