After you've gotten over the Ginger Beef, ask for the Indonesian items on the menu. Indonesia has multiple, well developed and distinct traditional cuisines, and this restaurant has developed well-executed, vegan versions of some of the best dishes.
Went for the Lunar New Year buffet, which was a great way to try a variety of their delicious dishes. Neither my partner nor I are vegan/vegetarian, but I think Padmanadi has great food that will please anyone's palate!
Th only issue I have with Padmanadi is that in preparing their ginger “beef” I would like to see them use smaller bites of protein. The current pieces of ginger “beef” are unmanageable. The spicy “chicken” is the right size. The ginger “beef” needs to be cut into more manageable pieces.
It is always a treat to come to Padmanadi. From the moment you walk in the door; the place welcomes you and embraces you with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The staff are exceptional. I have never encountered such kind, gentle and thoughtful hospitality staff. We were lucky enough to celebrate Valentine’s Day with Padmanadi. As always, the food was exceptional. I asked for plain rice and plain vegetables due to digestive issues; the food although simple, was perfectly executed. I enjoyed every mouthful. I am so grateful to the attentive, kind and thoughtful staff. I was treated incredibly well. Padmanadi has always had a very special significance to my husband and I. We had our first date there, years later we had our engagement dinner there and now… with the amazing year of 2024; we celebrated a very special Valentine’s Day. We love going to Padmanadi. The food is amazing and the staff are exceptional. Many heartfelt thanks to such a wonderful place. Dietary restrictions: I was very grateful they could accommodate my requests for plain food; that still had light flavour and was prepared perfectly. Wheelchair accessibility: They are thoughtful in their layout and accommodating with gentile respect and kindness.
Absolutely loved our visit! Amazing Vegan food at a good price & in the city! A must visit if you are vegan or are going out with a vegan friend. The service was incredible. Our server was great at anticipating our needs and fulfilling requests with a beautiful smile The food was served so quickly and the portion size is large and perfect for sharing! The atmosphere is very cute and themed beautifully to match the dishes. All the details are so adorable!
