The staff are really welcoming ?? thank you. Never the leaning over your shoulders with the one question repeatedly of how the food it kind of service. It's also a feeling of safety knowing that it's a restaurant that does not serve animal products, that is, if you are vegetarian, as in my case. I would highly recommend this restaurant even if you are not vegetarian, and believe me, you would not be disappointed.

Please listen to me carefully hear: this place has the best chocolate desserts in Edmonton.The chocolate mousse vs. chocolate lava cake with dark chocolate ice cream, is an actual Schrödinger's cat level problem. Both exist and I do not know which will happen until the choice is made.The server said I can substitute the ice cream for the mousse. That doesn't help! Now it's just Sophie Choice, but with dessert (which really isn't honoring the spirit of the movie). Could I just upgrade and have all three? Ice cream, mousse and lava cake? Sure, but that's too much. Each of them is too well balanced and leaves your chocolate tastebuds right on the edge of going numb from overuse. There is no answer... only madness. Chocolate Madness!!Also, they have the most amazing Asian food in the city... Pick anything, you can't go wrong.

So Good! Came here with family and we were very impressed. Service was great and the food even better. I can not believe it was not real meat. By far some of the best non meat alternatives I’ve ever had. Highly recommend no matter what your dietary needs.

Never ate at a vegetarian restaurant until Padmanadi, friends ordered all the dishes and I could not believe how good everything was. I honestly would not have known there was no meat. The dishes meant to be like meat were amazing texture and flavour. I had not idea.

This was my favorite restaurant for the last decade and one that I was always praising. Their food quality has diminished lately as their ma po tofu is watery and not as flavourful as it was years ago. It used to be the best ma po tofu in town and something that I ordered monthly. My main qualm with Padmanadi, though, is their ridiculous refund/cancelation policy. When you make a reservation for the buffet, you have to pay $5/person to do so. ~24 hours before your reservation, you get a request to confirm or cancel. What's ridiculous, though, is that apparently Padmanadi has a 48 hour cancellation/refund policy, meaning there is zero chance of a refund in the event of you becoming extremely ill and unable to attend. This is a scam and perpetuates the poor public health practice of people going out when they are ill and infecting others. Very disappointing to say the least.

Awesome food, everything I have had was amazing. Try and catch the buffet, which gives you a taste of many different dishes all delicious. Highly recommend if you like great food.

I was happy to see this place so busy. I'm not a vegetarian, but I enjoyed every one of the 8 dishes and two appetizers I was able to try on our visit. The prices were reasonable. I highly recommend bringing a big group and eating family style here.

Their lunch portion is significant enough to have leftovers for dinner, too, if you are not a big eater. The food was always delicious; you can not wait to return to sample other dishes. Not only is it vegan, but it has many gluten-free options.
