Amazing! - Edit
I can't say enough good things about this place. This is always my first stop when coming back home to Edmonton. After a 14 hour drive from Vancouver we headed straight there only to discover that they had moved a few blocks away. Upon arrival I realized the new place used to be home of Sound Connection Records which I have fond memories of. Some of my favourite punk records were discovered in that space. Very fitting that the location is now home to Edmonton's finest vegan eats. I love it!

Chinese food that wasn't - Edit
We went for the first time on Friday night. They had live music and it was a busy place! It was buffet only, which we weren't aware of, but it turned out that it was well worth it. We got the opportunity to try some of everything! The food was all great! We were told by the waitress that all the food in the restaurant is vegan, even though they advertise as vegetarian. We joked about how much MSG must be in everything to make it taste so good - although I'm sure they don't use any.
Read moreThe service was great, and they were able to answer all our questions. We are looking forward to going again - although next time we'll try to go when it isn't so busy! The building isn't the best for dispersion of sound, so when it's full, it's hard to hear the person across from you. Even so, it was worth it.
Pros: All vegan!, Live Music, Great Service
Cons: Very loud

Edmonton's shining star.... - Edit
Padmanadi is everything you'd want in a vegan restaurant. Challenging menu, great decor, friendly staff. The dinners are very good, though I've not been to a buffet. Try the Mongolian Chicken, it's a real treat. Personally, I think the best part of Padmanadi is their Saturday-Sunday brunch which should not be missed. They have an eclectic menu with standard stuff like French Toast - possibly the best vegan version I've ever had - and an awesome millet oatmeal, and also some incredible Thai fusion fake omelets. Easily one of the best vegan brunches I've ever had, and because I live here, I get to have it often!!!

Excellent Restaurant - Edit
This is my 2nd favourite restaurant in Edmonton (Nourish taking the cake). It has great food, great service, and best of all despite the misleading menu its ALL vegan. I wish they had more gluten free options but what they do have is excellent and definately more options than some places. I visit at least once every trip I make to Edmonton. A must visit restaurant for vegans :)
Read morePros: All vegan, Awesome decor, Excellent service
Cons: Could be more gluten free options

Best Vegan Restaurant in Edmonton - Edit
Padmanadi is easily, hands-down, the best vegan restaurant in Edmonton. They have a wide selection of indonesian faux-meat choices which bring even omnis back for more. The monthly buffet is a huge hit, but they don't allow reservations on that day. There is a lovely private room at the back that large parties can reserve. I recommend trying the ginger beef, sweet and sour shrimp, or the spicy eggplant. The special lunch menu offers smaller portions with rice and spring rolls, it is a nice option for when you don't want a ton of leftovers. Another great thing about Padmanadi is the staff; the owner always stops by the tables to say hi when he is working, he is very personable.
Read morePros: excellent food, very friendly staff, good value
Cons: often very busy, no resos on buffet days

Read morePros: Awesome, Awesome, AWESOME
Cons: Can get insanely busy during buffet, A little pricey

Great Vegan Cuisine - Edit
I went here twice in the two days I was visiting Edmonton. The food here was brought to us quickly and had great presentation. I found the prices reasonable and the food very delicious. As a vegan it was a rare treat to not to have worry if the meal contained meat products, nonetheless dairy and eggs. The staff were very friendly, and were able to create a very welcoming atmosphere. They even related back to what was previously said on our first visit. I am definitely going to make this stop on my next visit to Edmonton, and would recommend others do the same.

I Love Padmanadi! - Edit
One of my favorite restaurants!!! My two favorite dishes are the ginger beef and the coconut panna cotta. I love that it is vegan and I don't have to worry about animals products at all!! They are always helpful and accommodating to food restrictions as well which is a huge plus for me!

anothet oasis for vegans - Edit
Lovely restaurant.
Read moreUsing 'faux' meats is getting popular. However, this OS one of the best I have been to so far.
More expensive than Loma House, but is aimed at a different market..........
I will go back to Padmanadi, because I would be mad not to.
Pros: Awesome decor, Really tasty food, excellent service
Cons: Parking can be fun

Going back again! - Edit
We visited this restaurant when we were in town for the Folk Music Festival. The staff was excellent and helpful and the food was the very best vegan fare I have ever had. Try the ginger beef, to die for.

My favourite - Edit
Padmanadi is my absolutely favourite restraunt. I have enjoyed every item i've tried and love their buffet days. My meat eating friends even love the artificial meat. The atmosphere is so warm and the staff are as friendly as they come! I can't say enough good things! Thanks Padmanadi!

Phenomenal Restaurant - Edit
It's so nice to be able to order anything off the menu! My vegan boyfriend and I have been there twice (in 2 weeks) and LOVE the food.
Read moreOne thing we love is that the fake meat dishes come with SO MUCH, whereas there is usually a lot of veggie "filler" at other restaurants.
Easily our favourite restaurant in Edmonton.
Pros: great food, good prices, speedy service

great food, great atmosphere - Edit
this place is very popular. we went to the neighbouring vegetarian restaurant, oriental veggie house, on a saturday night, we were the only table. the next day we came in padmanadi, it was jam packed. we breathed a sigh of relief as we made reservation earlier. this place has great atmosphere. everybody seemed to having a good time. even though it was crowded, the service was very friendly and prompt. the food was delicious. we ordered 3 dishes and 2 appetizers, and they were all good. this is overall an excellent restaurant. one of the best vegetarian restaurants we have been around the world. well done!

Such a sweet little experience - Edit
The people here are so nice and the vibe is wonderful.
Read moreI love the food, everything is really good. Sweet corn cakes & spring rolls especially. I wish there were more dishes without fake meat, though. e.g. the "chicken" curry sauce with veggies or beans with sweet brown rice. However, this place is a regular for my family - who are majority non-vegetarians, and they all love it!
A buffet happens about once a month & it is an awesome way to sample many different types of dishes...YUM
Again, really nice atmosphere and charm. WAY THUMBS UP For an all-vegan restarant. Hurray! (I am getting hungry thinking about their food)
Pros: vegan, great hospitality, amazing food
Cons: hidden on a busy street
