Shangri-La Vegan On Linden

So delicious! I got the large dinner and ate every bite. Everything was seasoned perfectly. This place is simple; you choose if you want a medium or large sized meal, and other than that, you’re signing up for whatever tasty combo they’re offering that day.

This charming, quiet place is heaven. My husband, omnjomnivore, and I, forced to eat dairy and gluten free, were both incredibly happy with the high quality, fresh food we received on top of very nice and respectful service. There’s one meal, you choose the size of your portion. I cannot stress enough how amazing the food was. Vegetables, beans and rice cooked and seasoned to perfection. Collard greens like I’ve never had them before: juicy, tender but with a wonderful bite, deliciously seasoned and clearly very fresh. The soup was amazing, too. Fragrant, perfect texture and the right amount of it, too. We are so grateful for this meal. Thank you so much!!

I didn't want to drive home in traffic, so luckily I found ShangriLa restaurant nearby. Away from the busy highway, I settled into a refreshing vine-covered patio on a quiet city street, with easy parking. Even though this is a no frills restaurant, I gave it 5 stars for Atmosphere because it feels as though there is an emphasis on serving up serenity & calm with every meal...like being warmly welcomed into someone's humble home. Service is immediate: order inside then sit & food is brought quickly. I ordered an all in one meal with nice portions of 5 different dishes, including a delicious soup for under $20. I love leaving with that satisfied, happy tummy feeling afterwards! 😋 Happy that they're thoughtful enough to have compostable take out boxes for tomorrow's leftovers. Can't wait to go back & see what's next on their rotating menu. I can always use another order of calm in my life.

Amazing food and service! I highly suggest getting the full size for lunch. I love to try many different things when I eat, so this was the perfect menu for that. The dish allows you to try 6 things on the menu and each is a hefty portion. I didn’t think I was that hungry but the food was too delicious to stop eating. 😋 The environment is serene and the patio was a lovely spot to enjoy my meal. I will definitely be returning and recommending this restaurant to all in the Bay.

There are not many choices here, just a moderate plate or a large plate. But the food is colorful, fresh, delicious, and probably the healthiest restaurant food around.

Really lovely vegan spot. Came here for lunch, perfect breeze, beautiful weather, got to enjoy the sun but also stayed in the shade. Lots of birds sounds. You pick either the moderate for $13 or full lunch for $15 and can add on kombucha or pies. We got the moderate, which were plenty of food. The flavors are rich and full bodied. Also would be a nice patio to take dogs to and enjoy a nice conversation with someone.

Love this place and make an effort to eat here whenever I'm in town. The nutritious food is very affordable, friendly service, so delicious, healthy and my body notices the difference whenever I eat here. I'm by no means vegetarian, but so enjoy the food here and hope more will give it a chance. They have a fixed price vegan meal in two sizes (moderate or full portion), that changes daily. One of my favorite restaurants in the East Bay!

Okay, I think I had very high expectations, so maybe that's why it was not a 5 star experience? Hmm, no, not that. I didn't mind the hole in the wall minimalist place at all, I was not expecting anything pretentious. However, I Was expecting better food. No, it's not bland, just ...meh. Soup was okay when hot, but later on I found it to betoo salty. Overall nothing out of this world, I would call it decent for a cantina. Please keep in mind that they don't allow you to dine in if you arrive at 7.30 pm or after (not my case, but i saw this). I would not return.
