I have been interested in veganism and vegetarianism for a while. This restaurant has been very helpful in persuading me to learn more about meat free living. I had the Neatloaf and mashed potatoes with gravy. I paired it with a coconut beet soup. It was delicious, however, the crusty bread served with my Neatloaf would be better with my soup. I also find it strange that a vegetarian restaurant did not serve vegetables with the main entrée. How about sautéed super greens instead of bread.

This place is very warm and inviting. It feels clean and it feels spiritual or enlightened kind of like a feeling of being at a yoga place. It was a very good Ambience to have eaten here. I had a salad that was pretty tasty with tempeh bacon and I would definitely get that again. I was breaking a fast and I was starving so I decided to also get the vegan burrito. The vegan burrito was okay but then again I am used to more traditional Mexican foods. I would not get the burrito again. Overall I would definitely come back again as I had a good experience. Just come prepared if you pay your credit card they charge you 3% upcharge

The oldest vegan vegetarian restaurant in San Diego. Must try the staples like the neatloaf, and the delicious soups they make daily. They have assigned parking next to the building. Specials are awesome and worth to try. They don’t serve alcohol and its make me very happy. Overall a relaxing experience with great people and food.

First time back in at least 10 years. The neatloaf is as delicious as I remembered it. The mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy brought back good memories of this comfort food. I can see why the carrot cake is so popular. Very peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.

A favorite place for delicious Vegetarian food. Normally I would have posted a pic but food looked so good I couldn't stop. Looking forward to coming back with my relatives. Mood here reminds me of San Diego's scene.

Yes, sustainable and compassionate eating 😋

A carnivores' visit to a vegetarian restaurant :) Full credit to this restaurant, this meal was really good. They're conveniently located on a corner, parking was easy. I chose the Neatloaf, and glad I did. Service was attentive, drink and food was served quickly. The drink was cold, and the food was hot, freshly prepared, and tasty. The chocolate shake was also quite good. My sweetie is a vegetarian, and I'll make sure to suggest this business to her:)

It was my first time visit. The atmosphere was very nice and tranquility. My husband and I enjoy our meals. I truly recommend this restaurant especially if you are changing your eating habits...

Amazing place the best vegetarian food in San Diego. Thank for the food Jyoti-Bihanga. 🙏 Namasté 🙏

The neat loaf is amazing, the mushroom gravy fantastic. The ruben was also great! This is the way vegetarian food should taste. The environment is calming and the service is very friendly.

Always delicious food, friendly staff, and relaxing atmosphere. We’re never disappointed.

Service and atmosphere were acceptable. There were plenty of vegan and vegetarian options and all seemed pretty healthy, but if you are looking for actual Indian food or anything flavorful, I wouldn't recommend this place. Quite bland and frankly white washed food. I only saw one curry on the menu, which seemed like a red flag for a place that seems to be Indian...

We are what we eat. There food compliments my bodies nutritional requirements. Very pleasant staff. Extremely clean kitchen. A great place to dine in or take food to go. Everybody should experience this restaurant.

Super great food! Wonderful soups,!! Great service. Very peaceful!!

Had the house tea and the neatloaf - both were wonderful. The meal was delicious - we left satisfied and peaceful.

Always great food! Always friendly service. Food very healthy. Vegetarian and vegan options. Great soups and super yummy deserts. Catch their Sunday brunch, too, but check what Sundays they are having it as it is not every weekend.

Their "Neatloaf" is so good. I am definitely coming back here again.

Had an amazing healthy vegan dinner with friends! Loved the experience and will go back!

I love the vegetarian menu, if I am In. San Diego it's an amazing lunch spot.

Wholesome and perfectly prepared meals plated with surprisingly astute and artistic flair. Five star quality at bargain pricing. Calm and soothing environment. I am surprised there is never a need to wait in line to get in. Selfishly, I am grateful for that, but really, they deserve to have every table filled, all the time.

I come here on a regular basis. The food is very good. I love their soups. They have pleasant, relaxing atmosphere. The staff is nice and attentive.

I had the vegan neatloaf sandwich and I was impressed! It was delicious

Always love coming here. The Neatloaf and the Zen Avocado are out of this world! Just took one star because I feel like the portions are small(probably normal size, I’m just a big eater)

This spot is a perfect destination for low key vegetarian and vegan dining. So many delicious options and they're all vegetarian and can be made vegan. It's a quiet atmosphere not suitable for loud groups, the place has a temple-like vibe. For a calm veggie lunch or dinner, it's lovely!

This is actually my favorite restaurant I’ve ever been to as a vegetarian. It has such a soft atmosphere, the servers are all so kind, and the food is incredible and unique. It’s like if you had a vegan grandma and she made you a home-cooked meal. My favorite is the Rama Bowl. The neatloaf and the turkey wrap never disappoint either.

If you're looking for a peaceful dinner of delicious vegetarian food, this is the spot for you. I've never had a bad meal or a negative experience. I always leave feeling calm, peaceful, and well-fed. the staff is always friendly and usually plenty of parking.

The narrow overlap where endurance athleticism, veganism & spirituality intersect. Please go here, feast, enjoy the bliss. High caliber, high prana food. I had the vegan meatloaf, the curry & a slice of chocolate cake as well as the surya drink (to get some sunshine in my life). Jai!!!

I’ve been going to Jyoti since I was little, I’m currently 25 and the vegan neatloaf has always been my go-to! The food is high quality & delicious while the staff are genuinely kind & thoughtful! The environment is very welcoming yet calming. I’m also IN LOVE with their apple pie (it’s vegan also)! It’s the perfect combination of sweet and soft! I love this restaurant so much!!

Jyoti always has amazing soups and tonight was no exception. We had the peanut butter veggies and chickpea lentil - both scrumptious. The Indian food special was exceptional. The staples the rest of us got never disappoint. We were celebrating two birthdays and when we ordered cake with candles, it was on the house. And delicious. Granted, one of the birthday girls is a serious regular, so don't expect the same. But do go. Good portions, good prices, good vibe.

Delicious and healthy vegan and vegetarian food in a cute neighborhood! We ordered the vegan meatloaf with nachos with vegan cheese, vegan mashed potatoes and gravy, little beet Pattie’s with salad and brown rice, vegan apple pie, vegan chocolate mouse cake, and vegan chocolate chip cookie. Everything was spectacular! Top favorite in San Diego!!

This restaurant experience was an oasis and vacation from the stress of the day! The music and artwork set the peaceful mood from the moment I walked in. Neatloaf sandwich was deliciously messy. Salad and dressing were amazing, as was the mashed potatoes and gravy. Even the coffee was divine. I wish i would have obtained the name of the server. He was wonderful... brought extra napkins without asking. He had recommended the Neatloaf, so he knew!! I was in town for a law convention with its heavy nonvegetarian menues and stress on the side. Jyoti-Bihanga was a gift for my spirit and body for which i am extremely grateful. Enjoy!

I've been coming here for over 13 years and I bring my family here when they visit from out of town. The food is so great and the service is wonderful

Perfect meal after yoga. You can see and taste the care they put in their cooking. Excellent key lime pie!

Very peaceful place with multicuisine lots of vegan vegetarian options. We have shiva wrap, reuben sandwich , nachos amd moussecake- all of them tasted pretty good. Portion sizes are big so order accordingly. Service pretty good with friendly people.

Super friendly staff, great outdoor seating and very dog friendly. Large menu, with a variety of options. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten free. There’s a reason this place has been here for nearly 40 years. The vegan neatloaf is great, So is the beyond burger. Mashed potatoes and gravy is an amazing side to have with the sandwiches.

I love this place!! Delicious food and lovely peaceful atmosphere. Thursday is my favorite day to eat here. The chef on Thursday is Italian and he usually makes an Italian special. Today it was the hero meatball on Italian baguette with pepper Jack cheese and a side salad. It was the best meatball sub I’ve ever had! I use to eat meat 15 yrs ago so I’ve had a real meatball sub before. I told the waitress to tell the chef that they should add this to their sandwich menu. It is so delicious. All the food I’ve ever had here is delicious!!

Spontaneous lunch turned into a memorable meal. They focus on vegan cuisine and it was so tasty! Delightfully surprised. I enjoyed the portobello quesadilla and enchanted garden salad with mango cilantro dressing. (Might even go for a run with all this energy now lol). Check it out!

Any time I'm in town visiting, I try to go out of my way to eat here. The "Neatloaf" is fantastic and so are the mashed potatoes that come with it. Oh, and don't forget a mago shake- fantastic! Although the restaurant touts itself as one that appeals to vegan and vegetarian eaters, there is something for all to enjoy, in my opinion. Several of their menu items especially, desserts you cannot tell are "plant based" and made without milk for example. It's that good! The service is also very good. The atmosphere is relaxing with running water and a feeling of openness with high ceilings that allow for lots of natural light. The relaxing music is nice too. You have to try it at least once! Don't judge until you do! I'm hooked :)

This place is amazing I'm told it's the first vegetarian restaurant in San Diego opening back in 1986 I had the coconut curry special of the day and if you can order the cornbread it's like nothing you've ever tasted it's the best.

Great vegetarian and vegan food. I had the Rama bowl and it was delicious and filling.

Mushroom quesadilla was smaller than expected but pretty good. Dinner salad was a good size. Service was ok..the waiter didn’t come by to check in and I had to flag him down to get more water

Neat loaf

The vegan "Neatloaf" is to die for. They have other things there too but when I'm done eating neatloaf I don't have room to try anything else

Amazing! I couldn't believe all the options for a Vegan sushi restaurant. Inventive dishes. Highly recommend.

it was great, not sure why the service was horrible today

This place was amazing!!! The sushi was super creative and delicious!!! The nigiri was proof that food doesn't have to be complicated if it's done well. Definitely looking forward to the next visit!

The Neatloaf is the best. Delicious vegetarian and vegan options. Yum with mashed potatoes and gravy. Generous slice or sandwich choices.

I brought my first timer friend Ashley for the Sunday buffet. The food us do delicious. She was over the moon with compliments! And the staff is also very friendly but we constantly had to ask the server to refill our water glasses, clear the table, and he gave us frozen butter for our pancakes. I suggest a little more training on how to "read the table". We will return!

I was highly impressed on my first visit. Everything is exquisite, from the cocktails to the free fries they give instead of bread, to the appetizers (duck spring rolls are delicious), and of course the entrée (lobster pot pie). The lobster pot pie is unique and delicious. It's a pretty big portion, so you'll definitely be full.

Very ordinary and extremely expensive. Had high expectations based on the review but it did not leave up to it. Disappointed

Beautiful peaceful interior with high arched ceilings with friendly waiters. I check their special of the day on Instagram and thoroughly enjoy their creative dishes. Fantastic Vegan as well as vegetarian dishes that don't rely too heavily on veggie meats. You can bring your carnivore friends to enjoy as well - especially the Neatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy, and the beyond burger.

This is by far my favorite vegetarian restaurant. The food is all fresh and delicious! The homemade salad dressings are the best. The environment is so peaceful it’s just wonderful. ❤️❤️

If I knew it were my last day to live, I would want to wake up, do yoga, give everyone I love a hug, and have a last meal at Jyoti-Bihanga. Seriously don't forget to have a cup of soup and dessert with your meal - you so won't regret it!

Nice, clean and easy access..

Great foods for healthy vegan and vegetarian appetites as well

This place is it! I swear this is the best vegitarian food I have had ANYWHERE in San Diego. We always take our food to go because we like sitting around are dinner table together for dinner but the food stays perfect after travel. if I could cook meals like this at home everyday, I would never touch meat again. My family and I have had almost everything on the menu and have loved it all, even the kiddos love it! I would recommend this place to anyone vegitarian or not! :)

This is a really good place if you are looking for a vegetarian food it has a really good wipe and peaceful scene The food is really tasty and you should try vegan meatloaf

Great staff and service. Great food, try anything on the menu and daily specials, i haven't been disappointed! Neatloaf dinner always a part of my order.

Food is always amazing and the staff is so polite.

Great food and great waitress! Haven't been here in years and it was as good as I remembered

One of the best vegetarian restaurants in town.

Always clean food and good service. A great choice for vegetarian/ vegan dining. Sometimes they have a confusing schedule due to meditation retreats etc. Call before you go.

Great vegetarian food. Organic, healthy... always have a special of the day. Check times of operation

delicious food, i like the vibe of the restaurant feels very “homey”.. workers are very kind and polite.

Always exceptional

Food was amazing. Quaint little vegetarian restaurant. I highly recommend

By far the best vegetarian restaurant in town!

Love Jyoti-Bihanga's !!! Vegetarian/Vegan Restaurant with a Mellow, Serene Atmosphere & Food to Match . . . My Favorite is the 'Neatloaf' Yes, that Right 'Neatloaf Dinner. A healthy Home Cooked slice of Neatloaf, Mashed Potatoes with Mushroom Gravy & 2 pieces of Taste Bread, So Good !!! . . . They have a Very Expensive Menu, you won't get Bored . . .

Good food. Good service. Parking can be a bit tricky.

Excellent vegetarian restaurant... best lentil soup I've ever eaten.

Yummy vegetarian comfort food at a reasonable price -- and the best chai tea in San Diego (rich, spicy and satisfying). Highly recommend their lemon tahini dressing. Very chill and casual dining.

Delicious food.

A San Diego original! Great menu of vegetarian and vegan dishes inspired by Indian classics.

I’m not even vegetarian, but this is the best place on Adams to get food. It’s delicious and makes me feel good after eating it. I wish I could go there every day. In fact, I think I’ll go right now.

This place is so darn good. They have daily specials, daily desserts and their main menu has lots of delicious items to choose from. If you're lucky, you can catch their Sunday brunch...they don't do it every Sunday. On the smaller side for dining but worth it!

been going to Jyoti-bihanga for some 25 years.. it has never disappointed!!! the Sunday buffet (not always open on Sunday - check before going) is also excellent!!

(Translated by Google) Excellent. !! Really delicious. Food ♥ ️🙏 (Original) Excelente. !! Verdadera deliciosa. Comida ♥️🙏
