“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 your party makes 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 or use of the credit at a later date 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.“
“A friend told me I must try this restaurant, it did not disappoint!! I had the spicy noodle soup and it was perfect not too spicy, but definitely hit the spot. If you are not vegetarian or vegan still give it a try the food is amazing. I will definitely be back for more!“
“The Tao chicken is great - never thought I could enjoy vegetables this much (sauce they use tastes amazing).My only minor nitpick is it would've been nice to have some photos for the online menu. Also I was a little confused what the difference between individual and entree portions is (couldn't tell if entree comes with rice or if that has to be added separately).“
“Vish! A mediterranean restaurant on 124st serving halal meats and specializing in varying types of hummus.I am always on the look out for new and tasty restaurants in Edmonton that have a large vegetarian selection (for my partner) so when I saw Vish come across my instagram, it sounded like somewhere we had to try.We went to check it out on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. We thought it would be busy but it really wasn't too bad. The restaurant is small and cozy, with a big window giving it lots of natural sunlight and making for a great people watching spot. The restaurant was clean and staff were friendly and attentive.Vish is a order at the counter place, take a seat and they will bring your food to your table kind of place. The menu is pretty big and we had a hard time choosing what we wanted to try for our first time there but we ultimately settled on a BBQ pulled beef pocket, a vegetarian chicken pocket and the Complete Vish hummus.Initial thoughts were that it was a decent amount of food but wouldn't be too much and that everything looked really good. The pockets were delicious and incredibly filling. I really didn't think i would be as full as I was at the end. I guess I probably could have done without the complete vish but I really REALLY wanted to try one of their hummus dishes. Zero regrets. lol. My partner loved his fake chicken pocket too and he even got an extra pita for the hummus bowl.Conclusion: We really enjoyed Vish and found it to be a great sunny day lunch spot. We'll certainly be back. Next up to try will be one of Vish's combo plates. They looked so good on the insta page and happened to eye ball one another patron was having.“
“It is just so nice to go to a place and be able to order anything off the menu. Service was excellent and the portions were appropriate. The nachos were well stacked and the sandwich was very big. Fries were tasty albeit a little limp. But all in all it's a good place for quick food.“
“My wife and I recently started eating more and more vegan options and we wanted to try restaurant quality food. We ordered out the nachos , mystery burger, brunch burger and our son got the Mac and cheese. We also got a chocolate chip cookies and two pieces of chocolate cake. My son and wife are lactose intolerant and get very sick from dairy so to find this place was amazing. Every bit of food we got was amazing. Our 9 year old son even loved his meal and he can be a picky eater. Thank you so much Cafe Mosaic“
“I have dinned here multiple times, staff is always so friendly and accommodating. Had the tabouli wrap today and it was very delicious with well paired flavours. I have been to all the locations and they are all good. I would also recommend for non vegans you will not be disappointed!“
