Yellow curry is my favorite plate I’ve eating here over ten times now and it’s been amazing everything, always so full after the visit

My veg friend and I, a meat lover, decided to try Padmanadi and we were glad we did! I’ve never tried a dish that was soy-based before so I was surprised when the dishes that we ordered tasted like the real thing! My friend was also so happy because now she has options other than the usual veg burger, pastas and salads. The atmosphere and service were good. I recommend this place! I’ll definitely come back to try more.

Excellent vegan food. I love this place and all of their dishes. I took my family here for my birthday, and they are total carnivores. The funniest part was EVERYONE believed they were eating meat jokes on them, lol with no guilt

This is one of our favourite restaurants on the south side. The food came to our table quicker than a fast food restaurant! It was hot and delicious. Our picks for this time were "chicken" curry and ginger "beef" paired with both brown and coconut rice plus spring rolls. Highly recommend them all. The coconut rice is definitely a favourite! Great friendly, attentive but non intrusive service.

First time at this location on Gateway. A smaller seating area then downtown but the ambience has a positive feel. The staff are so polite and courteous! The food was exceptional with great flavour and portion size for two. A definite must try if your into Vegan food options. Worth the drive from anywhere in the city! Great job folks.

It is the first restaurant that I feel unique where you can eat meat and seafood in soybean. A very creative way of naming the dishes really tempted me to order a few more than what I came for.

Great experience! Tasty and healthy! We loved the spicy eggplant, and King Pao chicken (each comes with rice and 2 springrolls) for 18 each. The Mango Panacotta dessert was so refreshing and delicious. We can’t wait to go back again!
