I've ordered twice from Padmanadi and both times, the food was good. I will say that the flavours are not what I expected with the Ginger beef and the General Tao chicken - still delicious, but the flavour profile is quite different from the traditional version of both dishes.
They do their vegetables very well, they're not overcooked at all. I've tried the spicy green beans (delicious!) and the curry tofu & vegetables. I found the curry vegetables underwhelming, personally - the curry is definitely more on the bland side so I wouldn't reorder that.
It is quite expensive for what you get. It's about $20 a dish and while I had leftovers both times, it's a bit disappointing that they don't have combo plates for the lunch option. I'd love to see an option that has an imitation meat dish + side veggie with the rice and spring rolls (or even without the spring rolls, which are fine but nothing spectacular).
Both times the delivery came, the meals were piping hot so they seem to do an excellent job on their online orders in terms of both speed + freshness.

We just had Padmanadi cater our wedding and it was absolutely amazing. The owner came to us to check on our food when we took my mother-in-law out for her birthday and offered their catering services. We went with them and we were not disappointed! They were on time, communicated well with us, and the food was delightful.

Better than real meat honestly. For a date location it’s great to put your best foot forward, especially if there are certain allergies involved.

I ate here (another location) for the first time a year ago when I was in town visiting a friend, and I have *dreamed* of going back ever since! I've been a vegetarian for a decade and so I have eaten a lot of different types of non-meat meat, and this is the best I've ever had. I wish they would open up a location in Vancouver! And I will visit every time I'm in YEG.

Tried Padmanadi for the first time and it’s truly a hidden gem! A friend recommended it, and we’re so glad we checked it out. The food was full of flavor and the vegan options are amazing. Definitely worth coming back — highly recommend if you’re looking for tasty plant-based dishes in Edmonton!
Vegan food so good you won’t miss the meat. Flavors are bold, dishes are filling, and service is always welcoming. A landmark in Edmonton’s plant-based scene.

Impressed by the variety of food. Everything was prepared well, and the serving sizes were generous.
They deserve even more than 5 stars. Exclusive abs something new. The food was so good and sumptuous. Must visit place. Recommend to everyone.

Its been a couple years since I've been in and wish I remembered to go more often. The food is soon good. So much flavour and the texture is amazing. I went with my meat eating friend and she said the texture of the Mongolian chicken is spot on for real meat. I even had my husband eat my leftovers when he got home and said the same. This place is for vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters alike. They also have gluten free options. Defiantly don't sit on coming to Padmanadis, it's so good. The service is great too.
