The Cardamom Pod — Restaurant in Byron Bay

My experience at the Cardamom Pod in Byron Bay was a delightful journey for both the soul and body, earning it a solid 4/5 rating. As a vegetarian, I was thrilled with the diverse menu that caters to vegan and vegetarian preferences, providing a range of sumptuous options.

The restaurant's commitment to serving vegetarian and vegan cuisine was evident in the quality and creativity of their dishes. Each bite was a flavorful celebration of plant-based ingredients, showcasing a thoughtful approach to vegetarian gastronomy. It's a haven for vegetarians seeking a rich and satisfying dining experience.

One notable aspect of the Cardamom Pod is its association with Krishna conscious food. The incorporation of this spiritual and mindful philosophy into the menu adds a unique touch, making the dining experience not only delicious but also spiritually uplifting. The ambiance reflects a serene and welcoming atmosphere, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the meal.

While the food undoubtedly shines, a few areas for improvement prevent me from giving a perfect score. The service, although friendly, was slightly slow during my visit. Additionally, the pricing seemed a bit on the higher side for the portion sizes provided.

In conclusion, the Cardamom Pod is a haven for vegetarians and vegans, offering a soulful culinary experience in the heart of Byron Bay. The menu's creativity and commitment to Krishna conscious food contribute to a unique and memorable dining adventure. Despite some minor considerations, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a flavorsome journey into vegetarian and...

Five star food tucked away in an arcade in Byron Bay. Been coming to Byron for years and missed this place previously, but saw their sign on the footpath near the arcade so was compelled to check it out.

If you are Vegan like me or Vegetarian or just for anyone loving awesome quality wholefood meals at reasonable prices this is the place🤗🌱💶✅️. Eat in or takeaway.

Hubby doesn't have dietary requirements but indulged in a filling yummy medium sized combo bowl of vegan and vegetarian dishes .

Love that you can select what dishes you want, similar to those Noodle and Curry Kiosks where you select a number of dishes for a fixed price.

I thoroughly enjoyed my Custom Combo Bowl, brown rice, plus 3 dishes, cost $18 and it was delish & filling.

I had kofta with red sauce, battered cauliflower, salad-which included a bit of 3 varieties, and was given a little curry to try too.

See photos for our bowl assortment.

I couldn't go past the sweets so picked up a takeaway Raw Berry Slice.

This will be my regular dining spot eat in and takeaway while on holidays for next 4 weeks in Byron. Certainly more affordable than other nearby cafes. No it doesn't have an amazing outlook, but the food is definitely amazing , service provided by a friendly and helpful Cafe attendant⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

To the owner, thankyou for response, so loving returning for your food and friendliness. I am a regular now while holidaying in the...

After a good experience at The Cardamom Pod earlier this week where I had a small container of lasagne for $9.50 + extra rice for $2.30 all in the same container for a total of $11.80, all as it was priced on the board, I decided to return today for exactly the same. I clearly requested a small container of lasagne with extra rice. I was served by a young female member of staff with dark hair and glasses(mentioned in another recent review) who filled the small container with lasagne then filled another container with rice, I thought it was a bit strange but thought maybe she's just being generous......however, she asked for $16! I politely mentioned this and pointed to the board where it stated $9.50 for a small container and she said it's classified as a bake which was $11. That wasn't clear advertising but I accepted, but that would make the total price $13.30 with the extra rice for $2.30, not $16! As i was very hungry, I didn't realise the second discrepancy with the rice until I returned to work. She also didn't apologise, made an arrogant facial expression, rolled her eyes and didn't offer me a receipt to prove the cost.....very convenient. The food quality is good and it is very cheap, however, I have a zero tolerance approach to being screwed over financially, no matter how small and regardless of whether it was intentional or accidental. I won't...
