Padmanadi

Everything at this restaurant is plant-based, even if you see items called chicken or shrimp on the menu. We tried the Individual Curry Chicken and Individual Padmanadi Vegetable Deluxe on July 31, and both were really delicious. The Curry Chicken was spicy, and its rice had a subtle coconut flavour, which was an interesting combination. We also liked the atmosphere. Before visiting, you can check the photos and ingredients of the dishes on their website to help you choose.

Food was amazing. I had the sweet a s sour "chicken" and recommend it. Only downside was the smoothie I ordered was pretty terrible (bland and not very cold). Otherwise, and excellent vegan spot!

Padmanadi is one of Edmonton's gems. If you're vegan/vegetarian, you know. Food is always great, so many flavours, so many choices. Often I get the lemongrass vermicelli bowl because the noodles have such good flavour. I just wish this Southside restaurant was located somewhere else instead of by a busy freeway and train yard. Awful to get to unless you're in a car. If it was located somewhere more bike/pedestrian friendly I would eat here way more often.

Finally got to treat myself and my kids to lunch at Padmanadi on Gateway Boulevard. I used to be a regular customer at the old downtown location, dining there weekly after work. Miss those days after life got busy and I didn’t work downtown anymore. I recently had the curry chicken lunch. It didn’t disappoint! The curry now includes vegetables in addition to the chicken and potatoes which is awesome. My plate had a lot of food on it and I could’ve eaten it all, but I wanted to save some for lunch to enjoy again the next day. Nice to see the founder/owner Kasim’s presence at this location too!
