Incredible

Some of the best food we’ve ever eaten! We were blown away by both dishes we tried - the Burmese tea salad and the large Shambhala bowl. The vegan brownies were also out if this world. Quality, delicious vegan food.

Increíble

El mejor Butter Chicken vegano. Buenísimo. Tanto con Nam como con arroz. Los batidos de frutas están muy buenos también.

Pros: El lugar, La carta, La tiendita

Great khao soi

I had the khao soi (it's vegan) and found it really tasty. The portion was just right for me and the presentation was very curated. Prices are average-low for the island.

5 Sterne (nicht möglich, weil in App nicht als vegetarisch gelistet)

Komplett vegetarisch, großartiges, abwechslungsreiches Essen, tolle Atmosphäre, super freundliche Inhaberin und Mitarbeiter. Wir haben fast alle Mahlzeiten dort eingenommen. Fast alle Gerichte in vegan möglich, viele sind es ohnehin. Unbedingte Empfehlung, besonders, wenn dir auch Bio, nachhaltiges und gesundes Essen wichtig sind. Gleichzeitig überragend lecker, bestes Essen in Thailand bisher.

Pros: Essen, Freundlichkeit , Atmosphäre

Super vegan place

Delicious vegan food, great café and friendly staff. We ate at Shambala several times, nice to sit down, great refill/eco store is part of it. The staff are very friendly and the owner knows exactly what vegan is all about. The food is delicious, we often had the Shambala salad for lunch and the Khao Soi is highly recommended. Last but not least, the best vegan desserts on the island. Vegan brownie and chocolate fudge.

Pros: best vegan Dessert on the island, friendly staff, nice vibe

One of my favourite restaurants in Thailand!

Shambhala is now 100% vegan-vegetarian. I absolutely love this place and its food! Salads, bowls, burgers... and their homemade sauce is incredible. The coffee is perfect too, the barista is great. All the team and the owner are lovely and the atmosphere is super relaxing. My mother is not a vegan/vegetarian but she wanted to go back there every day we were on the island. As a matter of fact, we even took away food on our last night there to eat the day next when we had to travel - we got addicted to the amazing flavours of Shambhala💗
There's also a green-friendly shop by it with great natural products. I already miss this place!

Pros: Great food, Lovely staff, Beautiful atmosphere

Best vegan food on island

Ohhh, we got so delicious homemade food here and highly recommend this peaceful relaxing place. Food is made with love! You can taste it! Good food for good mood!
The owner speaks english very well, is helpful and knows the difference between vegan and vegetarian.
The coffee is amazing. And you can buy it there as well.
I also recommend the vegan chocolate truffles!

There is also a shop integrated to the restaurant with lovely healthy products, jewelry, clothes, soaps and so on...
You can also refill you shampoo and shower gel or buy natural homemade shower gel and co.

Thank you very much. We will see us for sure for more than one time. Thank you!

Unbelievable delicious

I went for the vegan burger and it was seriously a nutritional enlightenment. Also the Chai with some vegan chocolate. The owner is super sweet and friendly. I love the whole environment there. Definitely a must stop at Koh Phayam

Best restaurant experience

Wonderful place! We ate at Shamabala almost every day and could experience the passion and creativity in preparing the food. The owner of the restaurant was very caring. She was easy to talk to. In addition, she tried to teach us about her cuisine and we also got food to try. Have fun!

5 Stars for the most delicious vegan food

My husband and I came here almost every day during our 10 day stay on Koh Phayam.
The food is fresh, delicious and creative. The owner is vegetarian for 30 years and knows exactly what vegan means. 90% of her menu is vegan-friendly.
Our favorites:
- Shambala bowl (with the best vegan chicken/ fried protein)
- Stir-fried pumpkin with tofu and basil (taste like scrambled eggs)
- Kao Soi (noodles with yellow curry)

For breakfast:
- Granola with fruits and homemade coconut kefir.
- Panini with cashew cheese and Shambala sauce.

And a bit of topic but: try her probiotic body wash. Totally blew my mind. Made by locals and gives you the smoothest skin.

Pros: Owner who speaks English and knows about vegans., Creative kitchen , Fresh and clean (no tummy problems)

A true gem

I almost missed the restaurant because it is only referred as the shop.
They serve meat in the restaurant part, but the owner is vegetarian herself and knows well about vegan.
I had the Khao Soi which I really loved.
I took a few photos from the menu on the surf board.
A pity I found this gem so late!

Best vegan food in Thailand so far (we stayed 2 Months)

We had a great time here - the owner is very friendly and talkative. She opened up the island community to us and we quickly get in contact with other people from the island.
The food is also amazing. After discovering the place, we came here every day. Best vegan chicken in my life. Just go there and try!
