Another great meal at Shangrila. It's a wholesome simple but flavorful vegan buddist macrobiotc food.

Really good food that you don’t regret eating. Still super filling and satisfying without the heaviness of traditional meals here in America. Must try 😋

V

This place is truly such a gem. Such cozy foods that will nourish you from the inside out. Feels home cooked with love and portions are big. My only wish for them is to use olive oil and avocado oils only and then I would eat here everyday - maybe better for my wallet that they do not 😅 All in all, so grateful for a delicious and affordable organic vegan spot that’s local!

Very tasty vegetarian food. It makes me feel healthy but also tastes really good. All the different veggies had good flavor and the lentil soup was good too. Would definitely come back again since I hear they switch up some of the vegetables each time. I also really like how there's no choice of what to order, just medium or full. I don't like to make decisions so that's perfect. The (vegan?) pie is good if you like coconut flavor.

Second time! The food is so cozy and delicious, the kukicha tea self-serve is a favorite, and the mango and key lime pies were so creamy, with the perfect amount of tartness. I’m a big proponent of simple menus, where everything is perfected

I took my mom here for lunch. We loved it! The menu is basically whatever the chef decides, 2x/day. But there were a variety of well prepared, delicious vegan and gluten free foods included. I had the best lentil soup ever, and the perfectly prepared black beans with ginger and onions were mouthwatering. Even though mom didn't care for the creamy collard greens with kale (I liked it just fine), she had plenty to eat. Tea or water is included, and we shared the key lime pie for dessert- yummy!

1) After a meal here, you will walk out feeling energized and powerful 2) The plate for the day comes in two sizes, medium or full size. The simplicity of this system is great because you just get what the chef is creating! 3) The food is really really good. Genuinely one of the best vegetarian restaurants I’ve ever been too!

If you have any kind of taste buds, run, don't walk to eat here. Vegan or not, you'll love this. I got it to go but part of me wishes I had stayed to eat as they have a nice variety of spices and sauces at eat table to add to your food, but mine didn't actually need anything added. It was amazing, perfectly seasoned, salted and, cooked to perfection. Each item on my plate had it's own distinct flavors that worked well with everything else on the plate. Would give 10 stars if I could. I've been vegan a while now and it was my first time there. Very very impressed!

Very different Vegan restaurant with excellent food. For the main dish they only have the Moderate or Full options. The dish comes with lentil soup, rice, 2 types of salad, roasted veggies and beans curry. The we had one Moderate and one Full sizes which was plentiful. The food was very tasty and is not heavy on the stomach.

Johnny Wernli

Organic, fresh, healthy, tasty. Pretty quick service too since they only offer one meal. You choose large or moderate. For the more strict diet, you can also get a basic meal without the seasoning.

This place is the epitome of Zen food. Every bite feels like you are nourishing your soul. The service is stellar and the people here are so sweet and wonderful.

Rayleen Wagner

Prefixed organic, vegan meals in either moderate or large size, with drink and dessert options. Quiet atmosphere, not crowded, the food was fresh and tasty. The starter soup was thin, blended with pinto beans and spices. The moderate plate included greens, a tasty salad, delicious lentils, brown rice and a vegetable combination with cabbage, dill and a few different types of squash. Overall, a tasty and pleasant dining experience.

I love this restaurant. Been here many times. Very wholesome and tasty food and generous portions. We call the chef the “vegetable whisperer”. Because they.so expertly cook everything (not just vegetables) perfectly.

Wow. What to experience what it's like to eat at a Buddhist monastery? Try tasty vegan food for the first time? Just like a restaurant deep in the mountains of Mexico, there's no menu, you get what they serve. For me, what was on offer that day, was incredibly delicious. Shangrila, OH Yeah

Every time I'm in the Bay Area, I make it a priority to stop by because the food and service are simply unbelievable. The atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming, making it the perfect place to enjoy a nourishing meal. What makes this place so special? Simplicity and quality.

It’s comforting, satisfying, and you can taste the love and care put into every bite. I also love that everything here is 100% organic and vegan, making it a guilt-free indulgence that leaves you feeling amazing afterward.

You'll have to be aware that it's a prix fix menu so you get what they're serving and only can choose a medium or large portion. You can buy dessert if you want but it's not included in the price of the main meal. The drinks offered are barley tea and water, or you can buy a kambucha I wish there were more categories for the stars because I didn't like the experience, and felt it was overpriced, but it was tasty enough, so the rating you'd give depends on what you're looking for

We have been coming for years. Wonderful food. But, the soup was salty two different times. That’s tricky to undo.
