😠 The restaurant sounded promising based on the reviews but was very disappointing unfortunately. It took them 20’ to prepare 4 limonadas and 1 bottle of water. The limonadas were absolutely tasteless and we even returned one to the bar, mentioning kindly that the there is hardly any “hierba buena” in... People often mention great, good, restaurant, time, recommend, Santa, Marta, Thai,

    Personally we found this place overvalued. Most other reviews are fairly old, so I wonder if it went downhill or changed owners. The Golden Buddha smoothie was delicious. The green smoothie called The Eliminator (apple, ginger, celery, aloe vera) was supposed to be a healthy and tasty drink. Yet if my partner hadn’t double checked, they would’ve put sugar in it. In the end, she got a drink that was a slush of ice that simply looked green. Totally watered down and no flavour. The wakame salad was delicious, the veggie gyozas were okay, the Vietnamese rolls were nice and fresh, and the hummus and naan bread were average. Beware the pictures are generic
 you get a much smaller portion. Granted they aren’t expensive, but just so you don’t get your hopes up. Apart from that, the place looks like it could use some freshening up. The walls are scrubby and on the elevated bit, the floor is covered with some super old carpets. I am sure the owners have good intentions, so I’m just sharing my honest feedback on what we believe could be improved. All the best.

    The restaurant sounded promising based on the reviews but was very disappointing unfortunately. It took them 20’ to prepare 4 limonadas and 1 bottle of water. The limonadas were absolutely tasteless and we even returned one to the bar, mentioning kindly that the there is hardly any “hierba buena” in it. The bar tenders didn’t care at all and didn’t say a word. The waitress informed us that it takes 30’ to prepare the food, in the end it took more than 1 hour to prepare a mediocre pad thai and even worse chicken-satay skewers. On top, the waitress spilled drinks over our table and broke a glass without an apology nor a single question whether anyone got wet or hurt by the splitters. Mediocre food, very bad service and thus the worst restaurant of many we’ve tried so far in Colombia.

    A great vibe and wonderfully put together space. We showed up for lunch and stayed until the sun was down. They had put together an event for the local school and utilized the whole center simultaneously; it was really awesome to see. We still had our own privacy and enjoyed really good food and AMAZING smoothies; while getting some insight into the local life. Our server, Beatriz, was amazing and made us feel like we were in a very conscious and positive place. She was very attentive and at the same time perfectly distant; always aware of when we were wanting her attention. We noticed that the other servers were also following this very aware way of working and it was amazing. Great music going and a relaxing vibe; we had a business meeting there before we ate and the transition from lounge/meeting to night time eating was perfect. I highly recommend going for the food and environment. I can’t give any insight on the yoga or other services but if it’s anything like the restaurant; it’s going to be awesome!

    This restaurant was a blast! The personnel is very friendly and attentive. The service was really good all the time. The place is really cozy. It is in the backyard of a house in the heart of Santa Marta’s historical center. With a really nice Indian decoration, plants and lights. Last but not least, the food was without doubt the best ever Indian food I’ve ever tried. We ordered Butter Panner and Curry Massaman. It was such an experience. I highly recommend this restaurant. I came while the COVID-19 time and they also have strict bio security protocols and social distancing.

    Santa Marta - Colombia Historic Center and it’s great gastronomy options. This place was in my list of places to visit and of course EAT!!! Excellent sushi, chicken pad Thai and out of the world juices; all with a twist which bring the eaten experience to a different level
 for example, a mango lassi with cardamom
 yummy yummy yummy. Panko tempura roll: salmon, apple, cream cheese and “passion fruit sauce”
 Well done Padma Wellness Center!!

    Best Yoga and Asian food in Santa Marta! Would highly recommend if you are in Santa Marta. This place has yoga classes, fitness classes, holistic group activities and also an amazing Asian restaurant serving authentic food. This place is beautifully decorated, very comfortable and peaceful place to chill out. Staff and owner are wonderful, friendly and professional. Will definitely return again soon!!

    It's a very welcoming place especially if you are looking for a place to chill. Great menu of India, Thai and vietnamese food, and good service.

    7 people for dinner. 2 hour wait for food. Staff was nice. Manager had no clue how to run restaurant. 3 of 5 tables waiting just walked out because of wait. And food was finally served. Curry and masala was th same. And the pad Thai we ordered with chicken because of shrimp allergy showed up with shrimp that we ate by accident and got scared of dangerous reaction.

    Arrived with 3 friends. Everything started perfect. Really great and cozy outside area, no music, very chill. We could speak with each other without shouting (a plus). Food was ok. Now all the problems. Music started to play too loud by 2 dj's at 9:30pm when we were still eating. Starters came to the table 30 minutes apart. And the 3rd main dish came 1:15h late to the table. Basically me and my friend were about to finish our mains and our other friend was still waiting. When telling the waitress (a teenager) about about situation he didn't really know what was going on. No apology, no answer, nothing. He kept clearly hiding himself in the kitchen. After having a chat with the manager, which had the correct approach, we asked for the bill and on the bill were 2 times the exact dish that took 1:15h to get ready. After telling the same young teenager, he tried to say that we were the wrong ones, and we actually had it twice... I mean... Important to mention that we saw, at least, 15 people working for the restaurant and we had another 2 tables at the same time as us. They did prioritize the dj's food and staff food over ours. A lot to be learned here. Don't recommend.

    Sadly I wished this place to better than it was, it honestly had a huge potential. I should have known when we walked in and it was empty. I asked why and they said it’s ‘off peak’. From our understanding it’s peak season as google states and all the hotels we looked at were fully booked. The spring rolls were super oily, we got the pad Thai and it was ok. Sadly I couldn’t say I would recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Joris K. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow, what a taste experience. Same taste as true Asia! Thanks for the delicious dinner! New Years eve we came back and it was a bit odd and overpriced but cleared up eventually, sort of but the hassle was enormous. But does not reflect the regular days and quality of the food. On regular days the prices are good and the food fabulous.

    food was okay, I was missing the typical flavour and spices ... Padthai tasted almost like nothing .... The teas are very good

  • 5/5 Aeriel S. 4 years ago on Google
    This is one of my favorite places in Santa Marta!!! I am so happy I came and will come back again. The staff is very attentive and super kind. The ambiance is perfect and comfortable. It’s colorful, cheerful, and with plenty of shade and fans. The WiFi is great which allowed me to get a lot of work done. And of course, the food was delicious! I highly recommend the primavera spring rolls and the Lulada drink.

  • 3/5 Ez M. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered a couple of time for take out . Each time the order was wrong, there was an ingredient forgotten, or we arrived and it wasn't ready. Food tastes ok, but would expect more quality and organization from a place with as high of rating as this place.

  • 5/5 Juliana D. 1 year ago on Google
    This place was a fantastic find in Santa Marta! The atmosphere was beautiful, welcoming and refreshing. Our host Leidy was incredibly kind, energetic and welcoming. It felt like we were at her stylish home in Santa Marta center! We had all vegetarian food, mushroom gyozas, spring rolls and curry with tofu! As a traveling veggie, I recommend this place!

  • 5/5 Harshit G. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a great experience here with the amazing ambience and great service. Maria Alejandra was great and she recommended great starters. The ginger lemon tea was incredible. And on top of all that, not expensive at all. Loved it

    Don't oreder the Curry Massman! I did the mistake of ordering it and got a dish thats completely different from what i expected. When i told the waiter that the dish is completely different from the picture, the ingredients are different and the taste isn't good she told me there's nothing to do. She explained that the cook uses a base of colombian taste and ingredients and not the original base. Very misleading!!
