Padmanadi Vegetarian

Great vegetarian food with a massive amount of options! We had the battered cauliflower as an appetizer, hot & sour soup, and Curry Chicken with a side of jasmine rice. The hot and sour soup tasted very unique and not too strong. The curry chicken was smooth and the mixed veggies and the “chicken” were cooked perfectly. Our waiter was extremely attentive and the food came out very quickly. We will be coming back to try more of their delicious dishes!

Came here on a trip to Edmonton and was excited for their vegan/vegetarian Asian food. It didn't disappoint! Had their Padmanadi Seafood Delight ($19.95), Rice Noodle ($16.95) and Panna Cotta ($6). The texture of the vegan seafood was bouncy and tasty, although we didn't find there to be a variety as stated - it felt more like one item resembling a fish ball. We're not fans of ginger but forgot to ask them to omit it in the dish, but it was still a solid option. The rice noodle was plentiful, simple but well executed. The panna cotta did feel a tad heavy as it is coconut milk based, but the fruit puree and berries helped elevate it. Very good service. Overall, we enjoyed the food. Not the most populated area (we walked from downtown), so may recommend driving for those with a car!

It was so delicious, fresh and fast! We really enjoyed our dinner and the staff was so friendly! We had two starters and two main dishes for three people. The portions are really huge and good to share! We will come back! Thank you!

I have never tried vegetarian food, my wife failed to mention and only told me when we were 5 minutes away. I was furious, I always had the thought of vegetarian being flavorless and the protein alternative bring soy really didnt sit well with me. Wow... was I ever wrong, please if you ever skip this restaurant because its vegetarian only I hope this review changes your mind. As a ex-vegetarian hater I can say I will now be more open minded about future vegetarian restaurants. My wife and I ordered chicken curry and the ginger beef with a thick noodle dish, the waitress recommended rice for the curry and I was glad I took her recommendation as it paired well with the curry. The total came to $52 after taxes before tip. With more than enough for another meal later that night. VERY generous proportions.

Another excellent meal at Padmanadi!! There were 3 of us - we ordered several dishes to share - spicy eggplant, deep fried tofu, flat rice noodles, coconut rice & breaded cauliflower bites. Everything was delicious & perfectly seasoned. I also ordered Singapore noodles to go, & the 3 of us split 2 desserts - panna cotta with passion fruit & chocolate mousse. Divine!! Add an iced pineapple drink for each of us & the right level of cheerful attentive service & you end up with a wonderful dining experience guaranteed to bring us back again!!
