Gluten-free and vegan! I had a delicious meal here for the first time recently and loved it! They had water and tea available for self-serve off to the side. I ordered the full plate and was served a flavorful lentil soup beforehand. A delightful portion! For desert I had the pleasure of enjoying their key lime pie. I love how they did the pressed crust! It’s exactly what a key lime pie should taste like; not for the underdeveloped tongue. I will definitely be coming back if I am ever in the area or blessed enough to catch a ride there. However I heard they deliver so might explore that as an option sometime in the near future.

Vegan food that is delicious, filling and great value. Gentle, friendly, family run vibe. Highly recommended!

The vibes. The veggie of the day. Buddhist~Vegan~ Vegetarian must try when in town.

My new favorite spot now. Food is great, delicious, cooked with LOVE. Very welcoming atmosphere, peaceful music. Love it.

Oh wow, it was so incredible! I can't even believe that I hadn't tried them before. The moderate plate is more than enough food even when you get it delivered. Also the perfect place to eat if you can't have gluten. 100% gluten free&vegan dinner, and even pies. The flavors are fantastic. I'll be eating here tomorrow, the next day, the next day, and so on.. You'll love it even if you don't have dietary restrictions

I don’t know what dressing they’re putting on the salads but it’s always so good! Super yummy and healthy food that fills me up without needing to crash later. The people who work there have always been friendly and the space has a lot of Tibetan Buddhist art that’s pretty and calming. They have deserts and beers too!

Whether you're into veganism or not, this place is amazing. They serve generous portions and absolutely everything is super tasty, from the soup to dessert. Their coconut pie is to die for, it has the perfect balance, rich and creamy but not too sweet. Their staff is super friendly and they'll accommodate your every need.

So refreshing to be able to get a balanced, delicious, healthy meal outside of my own kitchen! It’s mild food but it will leave you feeling better than when you walked in! Easy five stars. My favorite lunch spot in the East Bay.

They serve great vegan food that is filling and nutritious. I’ve been here many times and it is by far my favorite restaurant on telegraph. With a quiet and charming ambiance, you’ll feel refreshed and ready to face the rest of your day after eating here.

Absolutely delicious, super healthy food. Everything was so flavorful and satisfying and felt so good after. Love that they just have one plate per day so the food comes out quickly and no menu regret. Fully plant based place!

Swung by here for lunch and was very glad we did. We were worried that it was going to be a bunch of fake meat, but that was farthest from the case. Everything tasted super fresh and there's no manufactured weirdness here. It's a fixed menu, with self service tea and water. All gluten-free and vegan and super tasty. The black eyed pea veggie soup was ridiculously good - I would have ordered a vat of it if I could have. We got the chocolate cake - it was a mousse with coconut crust, and it was rich yet not overly sweet. Super tasty. I'm mainly sad I don't live in NorCal anymore because I'd eat here daily if possible, but when I am up here I'll be making it a point to come back again.

Amazing food, packed with flavor, friendly ambience, very reasonable prices, and kind staff. Their menu changes daily, and I can’t wait to come back again and again and again! My only regret is that I didn’t come sooner!

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. It felt clean and real. I'm usually left wanting when I'm not eating copious amounts of raw or nearly raw meat or fish, but somehow the lack of animal protein was totally compensated for by being looked down on by the Dalai Lama while I ate organic vegetable based food that tasted like it was made with intention. Deep and satisfying flavors. I will be bringing all of my vegan friends here in the future instead of watching them struggle to order the one vegan option while I slurp down something that had a mom. Simply good food and good vibes.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A QUIET PLACE TO EAT A HOME COOKED STYLE LUNCH OR DINNER & YOU'RE VEGAN OR VEGETARIAN..THEN DEFINITELY CHECK THIS PLACE OUT..AND THEY ALSO HAVE ALL THE WATER & TEA YOU CAN DRINK FOR FREE...TRY THE TREATS NEAR THE REGISTER AS YOU CHECK OUT THERE GREAT..AND IF YOU ENJOYED A CERTAIN PART OF YOU'RE MEAL YOU CAN ALSO GET EXTRA FOR LATER TO GO..

Love this place. Always a friendly smile and a quick greet. The food never takes long to get to one's plate. It is wholesome tasty plant food. Little to no oil and not heavy on the salt. I'm never disappointed.

My FAVORITE restaurant in Oakland!!! I always feel so satisfied and nourished after my meals from here. Also, in my experience, it is the only ALL organic restaurant in this city. I Love the robust colorful tasty food. The sweet gentle demeanor of the staff always leaves me smiling. I’m here weekly. 10/10 recommend!!!

Yes, the food here is amazing.. but if you ask for a change in the plate you get, they are not so accommodating. I couldn’t have the black beans with onion and garlic because of stomach issues. So I asked the waiter to leave it out and please put a little more of everything else. What I got was a plate loaded with salad and collard greens and a little scoop of the roasted veggies and rice. When I asked if he could give me more of the veggies and rice, equal to the greens, so I could leave full, he said I’d have to pay extra. The food was great, but for $18 I left still hungry.

I really appreciate the food here! I go to all 3 locations, Albany, 40th st, & Telegraph. very healthy wholefood plant-based meal! highly recommended.

Buddhist place with simple, vegetarian, delicious and nutritional food. Only choice is between a regular or a large plate. Tasty dressing and sauces elevate simple fare to a finger-licking delicious meal!
