    This is good vegetarian place with 3-4 jain options. The food is fresh and delicious. However it is very light so we did not feel satisfied even after ordering multiple items. The quantity is less as compared to price. But quality is amazing.

    Dear Shakahari Too, Today wasnโ€™t the best day. It was the greatest day. My mouth was wet with the watering from thy food. I did not die of my nut allergy as you cared for me so deeply. I felt held. I will be returning. Yours, Harrison Storm

    I must admit the satay itโ€™s super tasty! The place is really cute and intimate. I would definitely come back to try more dishes on their menu. Overall I had a good experience.. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

  • 5/5 Edwar K. 1 year ago on Google โ€ข 978 reviews
    Vegetarian restaurant with friendly service and plenty of seating. The menu seems to span across both western and Asian dishes so naturally we tried one each with the pasta and satay. The pasta sauce was a little dry but still imparts the flavour really well. The satay has tofu as the protein and the peanut sauce is pretty good. Food - 7 Service - 10 Vibe -8 Price - $$$

    Absolutely amazing food and great service. I've been here a couple of times and every dish was on point. This restaurant is fantastic, even for someone who isn't vegetarian. The flavors were perfectly balanced, interesting, and beautifully plated. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

    Most delicious vegetarian curry ever tasted!! Five stars for the curry, and I had to order another bowl of rice as the portion was too small for me. Itโ€™s a bit pricey though.

    This was our first stop on our trip to Melbourne and it did not disappoint! We had the udon, which was delicious. As vegetarians, it is so nice to be able to select from the entire menu, and know that people are putting thought into their meatless options. Also, the people working there were so kindโ€”they gave us lots of ideas of what to do in Melbourne and the surrounding areas. It was clear that they put a lot of time and thought into their food and service. Thank you!

    Had such an amazing night at Shakahari Too! The service was PHENOMENAL! As soon as we walked through the door, we were greeted with such kindness and warmth. And this is before the food came out, which was spectacular! We basically ordered the whole menu and there are no regrets. Not a single one. Can't recommend enough. Would 10000% visit again.

    AMAZING food!! All vegan, delicious, nutritious, incredible service, so so happy. We went as a group of 5 and shared everything, they catered to a treenut allergy and we left sooo happy and full. Thank you also to the beautiful man who served us, top notch service! We will be BACK

    I have been vegetarian all my life and I can easily say that this is one of the best meal I have had. Service is 5 star quality and food was yummy too. Cake was the best I have had in my life.

    Good food. Good flavors. Good service. We thought it would be a big restaurant but its a nice cosy restaurant. The satay is a must try along with the avocado tempre entre. They also serve no onion and no garlic dishes which was a good relief for few of my friends.

  • 5/5 Matt G. 2 years ago on Google
    Our host made us feel so comfortable that it felt more like dinner at an old friends house than our first time at the venue. The food was impeccable. I only wished we'd gone with his advise to share one entree and one main between two. Mostly because to avoid leaving anything on a plate however it did serve to give us more of a feel for the menu. It's one that we will certainly return to sample more of. Whether you eat vegan or not I'd give it a go.

  • 5/5 Mel N. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious food, and staff were friendly and warm. I was dining solo and had the papaya salad as an entree. It is enormous. Enough for two. It could definitely be downsized. If you're hungry, though, this is the place to go. Portions are very generous. I'd love to visit again.

    Great vegetarian food :) The menu has limited dishes but they taste delicious ! The staff is quite welcoming and helpful :) The dessert was a bit disappointing, maybe because it was gluten free..

    Absolutely delicious! The paella was a highlight. Friendly staff. We were there on a quiet night so the ambience was a little off, but otherwise fantastic.

    Food was delicious, fresh and good portion sizes. Prices very reasonable. Service was great and very friendly. We travelled across town to eat here based on their vegan menu and we weren't disappointed. We will be back again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great meal.

    Good vibe, staff helpful and friendly, food is quite good. I recommend the satay which I had, but be prepared that the price is not cheap.

  • 4/5 Louie H. 1 year ago on Google โ€ข 87 reviews
    Good location and friendly staff. The Laksa broth is very good and arrived nice and hot. The use of Udon instead of the traditional hokkien noodles means the flavour is not able to be absorbed into the noodle and the broth is not thick enough to cling to the Udon. Still taste good tho.

    Delicious food, beautiful murals and the service was flawless. Fantastic range of vegan and gluten free options. We're neither vegan or GF, but still loved the food. Highly recommended!

    If I could give it 6 out of 5 I would, the food was delicious and the staff were lovely. If I lived in Melbourne I'd be in there once a week for sure!

  • 5/5 Nathan R. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Eric B. 2 years ago on Google
    Superb. Rich flavours in the laksa. Perfectly cooked satay. Best restaurant meal I have had in some time.

  • 5/5 Briony K. 2 years ago on Google
    Ok wow...the food here is amazing. Small, but clean and beautiful setting. The staff are very friendly and in general feels very home.

  • 4/5 Bernard l. 4 years ago on Google
    Good vegan place in Melbourne. Avocado rolls were crispy and the sauce was delightful. Could have done with some additional seasoning in the roll though. Laksa was surprisingly delicious, the tofu and the meat substitute were great. Broth was full of flavour. Let down by the taro pieces which didnโ€™t deserve to be there and easily could have been replaced with some bok Choy or Choy sun to give more green and crunch.

  • 5/5 Archy 4 years ago on Google
    My favorite restaurant in Melbourne

  • 5/5 Bin L. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Tracey M. 4 years ago on Google
    I loved the food and the service here - it's my current favourite vegetarian restaurant in Melbourne - can't wait to go back!

  • 5/5 Sally C. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place. I've eaten here so many times and the service is always so friendly and the staff are just wonderful. The food always comes out pretty quick from my experience. I think we've eaten almost every item on the menu and loved it, my favourite is the laksa udon. Since we live equal distance between Shakahari and Shakahari Too, I'll always choose to come to this one because we've had a much better and friendlier dining experience here. Also, parking in the evening is pretty easy around this area.

  • 4/5 Kyle 5 years ago on Google
    Great for a vegetarian feed, the Satay is the way to go!

  • 5/5 Sarah B. 4 years ago on Google

    Good food. Dumplings were 10/10 cocktails were 9/10. Satay main solid 8.5

  • 3/5 shoaib s. 4 years ago on Google
    Yummy food and great service. I've been here a couple of times and my fav is curry Enak Enak. It does fair job for someone who isn't vegetarian. Well balanced falvours and beautifully plated. Cons: Portion for curry enak enak is way small. I definitely need atleast 2 plates of it, and 3 if I am hungry.

  • 2/5 Tona S. 5 years ago on Google
    Great food, tasty and very filling. Gauging from the reviews, we thought the portion was going to be small but ended up over ordering. Might come back because the taste of the food however will recommend it as one of the older ladies ( perhaps the manager) was slightly rude. Actually, I wouldnโ€™t say rude because Iโ€™m not sure it was intentionally but she was Direct, she needed a filter. My mate was so excited about his new journey as heโ€™d taken up the flute, he recorded it for us to hear and had put the filming on his phone for us to listen. She walked up with a disgusted face and said โ€œ oh, turn that off. Ohh nooo nooo, not at a restaurant. That was horridโ€. It wasnโ€™t even loud- iPhone speakers are not loud at all. We sat there flabbergasted as we never asked her for her critic and if you donโ€™t have anything nice to say. Donโ€™t say anything at all. So two stars for the service.
