Great Vegan Options

Suananda is a great restaurant that we have eaten at many times. As well as two separate indoor seating areas, it also has seating in the garden area, which is our favorite place to sit. It has a huge tree covering the seating, so it is shaded all day long.

The restaurant is vegetarian, but has plenty of vegan options, and these are clearly marked on the menu. The staff are friendly and speak good English.

One thing that we really love about this place is that for each meal you buy they will feed one less well off person. Prices are pretty reasonable, with a main dish usually costing around 250-300 baht, which is under $10.

Highly recommended.

Pros: Vegan options clearly marked on menu, English speaking staff, Garden seating

a must

Such a beautiful place. We went for dinner and the service was exceptional, the food was incredible. Some of the best Indian I've had. Get one of the set menus, it has everything you need. Very easy to have vegan options.

variety of choice of menu but pricy

I liked the menu , falafel, hummus , Japanese soba , indian curry . But a bit over priced . Compare with other vegetarian in Bangkok.

Tasty food

I ordered the green curry with some rice. The taste of the curry was excellent, the portion size was okay. It is a little bit on the expensive side for the portion however. The atmosphere was very relaxing and the service was friendly, quick, and attentive. If money doesn't matter so much I recommend this place. An appetizer and a main course will satisfy, but will cost over 300 baht.

Pros: Tasty food, Good atmosphere, Friendly service

Cons: Price, Portion

Good food!

Great restaurant. The daily daal was gorgeous and so was the puffed rice and the vegetable pakora. All very fresh and served in a beautiful atmosphere and with a big smile.

Small portions but tasty

We went in for an afternoon salad, we had a juice 160 baht, mango salad and chickpea salad, I can't remember the exact price but they were expensive for Thailand. The salads were delicious however the portions were tiny, I would say this is a place for a meal rather than a quick lunch. The staff were really friendly and the garden was lovely.

Pros: Nice setting, Clean toilets , Friendly staff

Cons: Small portions, A bit expensive

Great food!

We had the fried potatoes, falafel set, and carrot cake... All were exceptional! Best fried potatoes I've ever had. Almost everything on the menu is vegan. If it were all vegan, it would be 5 stars. Highly recommended.

Pros: Taste!

Cons: Mosquitos outside at night.

Good Food, Nice Atmosphere

Suananda has a great restaurant space-- great ambiance and vibe to hang out and relax. Some of the food is better than others and the combination platters can be a little unusual (like a paratha offered with a green curry). The staff can be a little curt (more so the 2nd time I visited) but overall it was a good place.

great vegetarian and vegan food

I've eaten in and had takeaway from this place as it's near where I live. The food is mainly southern Indian in style. Really good value, very tasty with vegan options and alternatives. Also there is a yoga studio attached

Delicious food

The food was delicious and healthy; as it said in the menu, organic produce is used where available.

The setting was very serene, down a sort-of... alleyway, although it was ruined a little by a woman who (I think) worked there in some capacity, firstly talking very loudly on her cell phone (at one of the tables) before getting into her gas-guzzling pick-up truck, doing a 27-point turn down this narrow alleyway in order to turn around, where each time the nose of her truck was almost impeding on the restaurant tables, and driving away.

Once she was gone it was very relaxing though.

The service was efficient, although lacked in friendliness. I'm not one for small talk, but there wasn't so much as an acknowledgement that the waiter had understood my order, or a 'would you like a drink?'

The most important thing though, the food, was absolutely perfect, and fairly reasonably-priced for this type of restaurant. I paid 285 baht for a set menu of hummus, falafel, salad and soup, and left very satisfied. I'll be back again.

Delicious!

Very pleasant space, both indoor and out. There are maybe 6 set meal options, and I went for the first one - the Daal of the Day, with veg curry sides and roti. See 13th or so photo. Outstanding! Full of flavour, very enjoyable. And filling! Will come again.

Pros: Quiet, Quality

Cons: Pricy

Sadly it wasnt good

I only had the green curry and it literally must have had 2 green beans chopped in tiny pieces and maybe half a carrot and half a potato and thats being generous. The bowl itself was tiny too, maybe a bit more than a cup. It was also super salty. At 180 baht i expected more. The place is nice and the waiter was nice a helpful.

All I can say is, just WOW

All I can say is, just WOW.

After reading all the reviews on here and trip advisor, I went to go check the place out.

To start with, everything is labelled on the menu if it is vegan and/or gluten free. Lots of options for both.

Service was amazing. Waiter spoke good English and explained in detail what exactly are in the dishes if I wasn't sure. Place is very modern and friendly staff.

The food was presented beautifully, and tasted AMAZING! Not had food this tasty in a long time - the flavours just worked so well together, and I left with a big smile on my face, and wanting more.

I will go back to try all the dishes I didn't get to try, there was just so much for once that I could actually eat.

Thanks Suananda!

Pros: Friendly place, Delicious food, Helpful Staff

Lovely dish, a little pricier

I had the flattened rice with vegetables and nuts, which was beautifully spiced and delicious. Priya, the owner, was very friendly and chatted with us a bit. A lovely venue, I just felt the food was slightly expensive for the portion size in comparison to other places but I appreciate the quality and the aim of providing wholesome, nutritious foods.

It's Good

Nice little restaurant located in a street with many other veggie/vegan options. I had the daily special for lunch, which was a selection of veggies in Indian style with rice and bread. It was tasty, healthy and inexpensive (300 for the food and one drink).

Pros: Healthy food, Inexpensive, Relaxed atmosphere

Ayurvedic wholesome food

Stayed at cooper hostel so it is only a short walk to this lovely place from there. Had dahl set meal. Tasty and nutritious with a choice of three different flavoured waters.

Pros: wholesome, good value, free flavoured waters

Cons: not as flavourful as other Indian food

An excellent experience

We accidentally stumbled upon this neat place after being rejected at Bonita Cafe (booked for a private party). Our meal was fulfilling and delicious. It's not savory but can taste the wholesomeness and healthy food. No MSG or too much oil, and so we can really taste every flavor of the vegetables used. Good vegan friendly options. The best would be the soup and pomodoro pasta. Spent ~ $700 including tip to feed two hungry people. Best money spent on vegan food so far... Very serene environment and deco. Very friendly staff.

Pros: healthy food taste, friendly staff, serene atmosphere

Cons: mosquitos outside, stay indoors!

Blend

The food I had didn't taste much at all. And I understand that it is actually an ayurvedic centre of some kind ... but still can't really appreciate people talking to me about this kind of "scientific" (oh yeah?) stuff. One can be a vegetarian without being a 70s hippie, right?

Cons: The usage of the word "scientific"

Delicious healthy Indian food in Bangkok

Sua­nanda is an Ayurvedic well­ness cen­ter with a lovely café, a yoga and med­i­ta­tion hall host­ing var­i­ous classes and work­shops, a small shop and an Ayurvedic con­sul­ta­tion cen­ter offer­ing med­ical treat­ments, ther­a­pies and mas­sage such as shi­rod­hara (pour­ing of oil on the fore­head). The food at the cafe is whole­some and pre­pared with care and any­thing can be made vegan. Unlike the Indian food I am used to where things gen­er­ally swim in a pool of oil, every­thing at Sua­nanda is fresh, light and healthy. Every­thing is pre­pared with organic ingre­di­ents and will leave you feel­ing light and ener­gized thanks to the cook­ing that is based on Ayurvedic prin­ci­ples, using the right com­bi­na­tion of food and spices to aid diges­tion. You can pick from one of the daily grains on offer (quinoa, rye, bar­ley, cracked wheat, cracked oat or ama­ranth) which can be sub­sti­tuted to the organic rice. The poha (flat­tened rice) with nuts and veg­eta­bles was a lit­tle like fried rice, except it was light, fluffy and not greasy at all — the tex­ture of the flat­tened rice grains reminded me a lit­tle of fresh coconut and the fla­vors were spot on — I love cumin. The morn­ing glory frit­ters were sur­pris­ingly really light and a very inven­tive – and espe­cially tasty — use of my beloved morn­ing glory. The accom­pa­ny­ing dip­ping sauces were great – the minty one packs a punch! The sprouted fin­ger mil­let crepe stuffed with spinach (ask for no cheese) was a great vari­a­tion on the tra­di­tional South Indian dosa; I found the mouth­feel actu­ally nicer than a tra­di­tional dosa: fluffy and chewy, a lit­tle like an actual crepe. I’m assum­ing the taste is bet­ter with the cheese, but I really enjoyed this nonethe­less. Same goes for the beet­root paran­thas: it’s a sim­ple, fresh and well exe­cuted dish that is not oily at all. The beet­root is still very crunchy, the tex­ture is spot on and the accom­pa­ny­ing minty sauce is lovely. The prices at Sua­nanda are very rea­son­able. Make sure you sit out back in the lovely gar­den. A really nice take on Indian food.

This restaurant still existing, it is located at the end of a sub soi on Thanon Pan (the street of the Indian temple/ Silom), the sign "Suananda" is at the entry of the sub soi... it is +/- opposite to Bonita and close to Chennai kitchen. I really recommend it, lovely atmosphere and very great food! fresh, testy, unique... VERY YUMMY! close on Sunday
